Hello Class 2 Parents,
Well, life is very busy at Little Houghton School at the moment. Following last week's Ofsted visit, today we had our SIAMS inspection focussing on the church school aspect of the school. The children were once again fantastic during our R.E. lesson and when they were talking to the visitor.
Aside from that...
Reading books.
Your children have chosen individual reading books this week. We will continue with reading groups next week. This means they may not be as familiar with the book as usual and will need extra practise, and lots of help with fluency and comprehension!
An art project.
We spent a lot of the week doing art! The children learnt about Orla Kiely and her prints. Theo kindly brought in a book of hers for us to look at and the children were fascinated by the patterns and colours. They had a go at printing using a range of objects. Then they drew a turtle, mixed shades of green, and used printing techniques to fill it in. It was interesting to see the different prints created by unifix cubes, glue lids, cotton reels and other things!
Maths.
We've continued looking at 3D shapes, sorting them by their properties. The children have been using the words 'faces' 'edges' and 'vertices' to describe them and to sort them.
Maths homework is here and will be in book bags.
The first sheet is for all children.
The second page is for Year 2 children and any Year 1 children who would like to complete it.
In phonics the Year 1 children continue to revisit previously learnt sounds. They do not have any phonics or spelling homework this week.
In spellings the Year 2 children have been looking at spelling patterns following a 'w' - 'or' (as in worm, work, worth) and 'ar' (as in war, warm). Their spellings are here and will be in book bags.
A final note about P.E:
For logistical reasons I have moved P.E. to a Friday morning - but it is helpful to have P.E. kits in all of the time in case we need them!
Enjoy the bank holiday weekend!
From Mrs Simpson
