Welcome to this week's Year Two blog. 

What we have been doing this week

This week, castles have been the context of the children's writing. We have been focusing on different sentence types (statements, commands, questions and exclamations) and learning about noun phrases.

In maths, the children have been consolidating their learning on numbers bonds (pairs of numbers that make another number) and the associated addition and subtraction fact families.

For the past few weeks the children have been brilliant scientists, learning about how to keep healthy. We completed our science learning this week, making healthy flapjacks with foods with the main different food groups.

What we are learning next week

Next week we will continue looking at non-fiction texts in our literacy lessons, learning through the context of castles. The children will be learning about using conjunctions, such as 'and' and 'because' to extend their sentences.

In maths, we will begin several weeks of learning on addition and subtraction. The children will using a variety of equipment and pictorial methods to initially add and subtract tens and ones from 2-digit numbers.

Wow Work
