We have had a fantastic first week back at school. The new Year 2 children are settling very well into their new classroom. All of the children have been extremely resilient and ready to learn. Here are a few things we have been getting up to this week.
In Maths we have been recapping numbers up to 20. We have been counting forwards and backwards 1-20. We also ordered numbers in table groups by looking at the value of each number.
In phonics lessons we have been recapping letters of the alphabet and letter formation. We have also been recapping some of our sounds and ‘tricky words’ ready to begin our Little Wandle phonics lessons from next week.
The children have spent some time this week, practising saying and writing the days of the week. In Year 2, we write the ‘long date’ in our books each day. This activity is helping children to remember their spelling as well as remembering that days of the week and months of the year need a capital letter.
In PE we have been playing games that will help us to work as a team. This half term we will be working on developing skills such as spacial awareness, throwing and kicking.
It has been a pleasure to get to know the children this week. It’s going to be a brilliant year!
