Maths in Year 2

 

We are moving forward in Year 2 with our learning in Maths. We focus on two elements: Fluency and Reasoning. From Friday, we will be sending home bi-weekly arithmetic tests for the children to complete at home with you. The children all the skills needed in order to complete these, however, they might need some support and guidance from you.  This will supplement the children’s learning on Mathletics.

Here are copies of the test papers that will be sent home each week.

Busters Book Club Ambassador
 
Do you enjoy reading?
Are you up for a challenge?
Could you encourage others to read?
We need Ambassadors who are keen to help encourage their classes to read and to remind them to have their bookmarks signed on a Wednesday evening.
If you are interested, simply design a poster for Busters Book Club. This needs to remind children to read every Wednesday and have their bookmark signed. On the back of your poster, please explain why you think you would be good at the role of Ambassador!
Please hand in your completed posters to the school office by Wednesday 1st February. If you have any questions – see Mrs Longman.
