At the start of the week, we
watched the Year 3 and 4 Christmas show ‘Bah Humbug’ that was enjoyed by all.
In English this week, we have
been working hard to edit and improve our Storm Animal stories. The children
are SO proud of their writing, as are we! They have made their stories into
little books and wrapped them in an envelope to give to you as a Christmas
gift. We hope you enjoy reading these over the holidays.
In Maths this week, we have been
looking at drawing arrays to solve multiplication problems. For example, 4 x 6
means we can draw four crosses, six times. Please reinforce this method with
your children at home whenever possible.
In Art this week we looked at the
illustrations from our class book ‘The Storm Whale’ and watched a video of the
author/illustrator Benji Davies draw
one his characters. The children then copied and sketched a page from the book
and added watercolour paint to finish.
In Spanish, we have been learning
about Christmas in Spain and made Spanish Christmas cards. The children love
learning a new language and we are very impressed with their enthusiasm.
Just a reminder that the first
Friday back is our trip to the castle and your child will need a packed lunch.
Have a very merry Christmas and
Happy New Year
The Year Two Team
