Year 2 Update

Our Learning - Weeks 8 & 9

Another busy two weeks in Year 2! 

We have continued our unit on Persuasive Writing during English, and have started to learn about different comprehension strategies to assist us in our reading.

In Maths, we have been exploring multiplication and how we can use addition to assist us when we are first learning to multiply.

Supporting Your Child's Learning at Home 

If you are looking for ways to support your child's learning at home you may wish to try some of the ideas below.

Reading

• Using the take home readers every night. 
• Reading for fun with a book of choice to build interest in reading. 
• Asking questions about the book as you read. 

Writing 

• Practising writing sentences that include full stops and capital letters. 
• Using our phonetic knowledge to spell new and unfamiliar words. 
• Incorporating adjectives into writing. 

Maths  

• Practise skip counting by 2's, 3's, 5's and 10's. 
• Practise simple addition and subtraction facts. 
• Encouraging reading analogue clocks and talking about the times of day. 

Take Home Reading 

In Year 2, we swap our readers on the same day we visit the library and students will bring home two new books each week. Repeating the same books over the week allows time to comprehend different parts of the text and develop a deeper understanding of what we are reading.
