Well done children - you have all worked incredibly hard this term and I can’t quite believe how far you have all already come in such a short space of time. It was clear from today’s end of term reflection that many of you found the first couple of weeks in Year 2 difficult and tiring, but you now relish in the learning and challenges that get thrown your way each day.

With only three days of learning left before the holidays, the children are remaining as focused as ever in order to achieve those half term goals. Maths lessons have been filled with sequences and counting forwards and backwards in 2s, 5s and 10s. The children have been busy solving problems by finding missing numbers and have been giving some great explanations and reasons as to why they have given certain answers - the use of mathematical vocabulary has been great.

Another week has flown by with Year 2 working as hard as ever to grow those brains and achieve those ever changing targets they are setting themselves. We began reading our first focus story ‘Meerkat Mail’ this week, with the children focusing on the main character Sunny. As a class, we learned all about adjectives and the adjectives we could use to describe our new favourite Meerkat. In the coming weeks, we will develop these adjectives to create our own postcards from Sunny’s travels and hopefully, some incredibly entertaining meerkat poems - watch this space!

"A wise person knows that there is something to be learned from everyone"
My goodness! We have reached yet the end of another busy week here in Year 2 and it has gone so quickly, I don’t think some of the children can quite believe it’s the weekend … AGAIN! Each lesson has been brimmed with new and exciting learning for the children to throw themselves into and I’m still amazed by just how much enthusiasm the children show each day.

I still can’t believe how quickly the children have settled into their new classroom and how much enthusiasm and energy they show in each and every lesson. They are coming into school each morning so curious about the new challenges they may face that day and know that by pushing and challenging themselves, they will enjoy their learning more and more.

What a fantastic second week back we have had here in Year 2! The children have fit seamlessly into their new routines and come into every lesson with such focus and enthusiasm. They have also taken on their extra roles of responsibility so sensibly this week, from taking the register to sharpening pencils - you name it, they’re doing it. I know some are already thinking about which job they would like to take on next half term!

What an absolutely amazing start the children have had to their Year 2 journey. It was a joy to see so many smiling, excited faces eagerly waiting for me to open the door to the classroom on Tuesday morning. I can’t believe just how quickly the children have settled into their new surroundings and how well they have taken to their new routine - it’s like they’ve been here forever!

I hope you have all had a wonderful summer holiday filled with laughter, rest and bundles of memory making! I bet it’s hard for many of you to believe (particularly parents) that you will be starting your new adventure in Year Two TOMORROW!
