Year 2
7th March 2025
Dear Parents/Carers,
Our Celebration Assembly
Our Stars of the Week are: Isabella in St Francis Class and James in St Martin Class.
Our awards for St Mary’s Way go to: Mara in St Martin Class and Chiadikaso in St Francis Class
The children did a splendid job of singing at the rehearsal on Tuesday. Please continue practising the songs for the Festival on the 18TH of March.
Religious Education: Opportunities
We will begin our new Topic on Opportunities. We will be learning how Lent is an opportunity to reflect on our lives, make changes and transform to be the people that God wants us to be and who Jesus made the ultimate sacrifice for.
Home learning:
Find opportunities at home where you can be of help to others, show love to others and be kind to others.
Phonics : oar
Boar, board, hoard, roar, soar, oars, cardboard, hoarse, abroard, uproar,
High frequency words, some of which are not phonetic and just have to be learnt by sight:
had, my, her, little, not, we
Please write a sentence for each word with a capital letter and full stop. Add a conjunction such as ‘and’ ‘because’ ‘or’ ‘so’ ‘but.’ We are focussing on writing sentences with detail by adding adjectives.
Focus on neat handwriting too.
I heard the roar of a Boar which was so terrifying, it made me stop in my tracks!
English: ‘The Secret Sky Garden’ by Linda Sarah and Fiona Lumbers
We will be retelling parts of the story that we have read from the above book. When you listen to your child reading, ask them to retell the parts that they have read. This is a very important skill in assimilating information. Encourage your child to give detailed sentences and stay focussed.
Home Learning:
Please write the sentences from the Phonics list and where the example shows a sentence that is interesting with good vocabulary, please try and do the same.
Maths:
We are learning how to divide by 10. Knowing the 10 times table by heart will enable the children to do some of the learning mentally, hence learning the 2, 5 and 10 Times Table is crucial. We will be solving problems using the 10 times table.
Home learning;
On Purple Mash , you will find ‘2 Do ‘ and we would like you to complete the learning on the 2,5 and 10 Times tables

Reminders
We have sent a copy of the words of the songs home with the children to learn. Over the next few weeks, we will be practising the many songs that we have to learn for the concert. Please continue to practise the words of the songs as there are many to learn. Many Thanks – The Year Two Team
