Year 2 - Spring 1 - Week 6

Date: 7th Feb 2026 @ 6:49pm

In Maths, we have finished our multiplication and division topic. This week we focussed on multiplying and dividing by 5 and 10, we looked for patterns to help us and different methods that the children can use if they are unsure on a particular multiplication or division. After half term our new topic will be length and height.

In English, we have continued using the book Grandad's Camper. This week we wrote a recount of a trip that we had taken to a destination in the UK, we then wrote a set of instructions for how to fix up the camper van and make it look brand new. We focussed on using commands that someone else could follow and understand and discussed vocabulary that we would need to include. 

In RE, we have written our own thank you letters. We looked at a final miracle which was the healing of the 10 lepers, we discussed the story and then talked about everything that we are thankful for. The children then wrote their own thank you letters to thank people within their lives.

In Outdoor Learning and Science this week, we looked at our investigation from last week to see the results. Last week we had used different materials within our outdoor learning area to see which materials would encourage the most creatures to live under them. We looked at each material and counted how many bugs we could see. The children then made their own nests using natural resources.

It was lovely to see everyone at parents evening to celebrate how much the children have improved since September. It has been an absolute pleasure to teach all of year 2, thank you for all of your support and for the lovely gifts and cards, we are truly thankful.

We hope you all have a lovely half term and are excited to see Miss Jones return.

Thank you Miss Bayley, Mrs Taylor and the year 2 team
