Welcome to Thursday

I am so proud of you Class 2. We have 5 children in the top 10 of the whole school Sumdog competition. 1st Jack, 2nd Sophia, 5th Lewis, 7th Henry and 8th Will.

Keep playing as we only have 2 days left before the winner will be revealed!

Brilliant maths from you all.

Well done to the children that are reading at home and great to see you using the new electronic reading logs. These logs will continue when we return to school ( in place of the Partnership Books) so if you have not tried them then please have a look.

I can't wait to see what you send me today.

Take care, stay safe and have fun!

We have our very own weather watcher in Class 2. Jamie has been very busy watching the weather each day and recording the information on a table. He also recorded the time it got light in the morning and the time it got dark in the evening. Can you look at the tables and see what Jamie found out about the length of the days in the fortnight he was recording the information? He also recorded the temperature each day.

Fantastic weather watcher Jamie. Well done.

Welcome to our second week of home learning. Please try to read every day, practise your phonics and try to do some form of exercise or activity to keep you healthy too. There is another whole school Sumdog competition this week so have a go and see if you can be the winner., Last week the final scores put Jack in 6th place, Will in 7th place and Henry in 13th place. Well done to you all for representing Class 2 in the competition. Look out for some coins coming your way from me . I am looking forward to opening the Home Learning inbox later today to see what lovely photos you have sent me.

Take care and keep safe. Mrs Barber

P.S. Exciting news

Today you will receive a login to Bug Club and details of how to access. This is an online learning site for reading books aligned with the phonic phases taught in school. It is so important during these difficult times to keep reading and this site provides fun activities too. Also in Google Classroom your child has been set up with an electronic reading log which replaces the partnership books which we used to record your child's reading and number of reads. If they have Golden Tickets these can be seen in these new reading logs. Please record your child's reading on these logs. (Please do not 'submit' or 'turn in' these documents they are live and can be viewed and edited by you and the school). I can't wait to see how much you have been reading at home.

An example is shown below.

Sophia has practised her handwriting and spelling of the common exception words for year 2 and chosen her mum and the doctors for being kind. I bet your mum liked hearing that you appreciated what she does for you. Well done Sophia.

Wow! Another Hoctopize has joined our family. I love the feathers and his two little friends duck and rabbit. Do they have names? Well done

Well done Will. You have drawn a lovely picture of the four seasons and written an acrostic weather poem too. I like the word 'unstable' using the prefix 'un'.
