Hello!
2AH have blown myself and Miss Imran away this week with their passion to learn!
The children have been really lucky this week as we have had Wood Street Mission's roadshow visit our school. The children had a chat with the staff from Wood Street Mission all about reading and were able to choose 5 free books to take home. The children chose their own books, looking at the front covers and reading the blurbs for something they will really enjoy.
In Maths, we have been working on multiplication, practicing our 2, 5 and 10 times tables. The children have been having so much fun dancing to Jack Hartmann's lesson warm-ups, retrieval practice on the iPads and going for times tables scavenger hunts in our outdoor areas. Next week we will be looking at doubling and halving numbers which the children have already been recalling from Year 1.
In English this week, we have started to read 'Winne and Wilbur at Chinese New Year'. We have been discussing all of the amazing adjectives that we can use to describe a Chinese New Year celebration parade, discussing what we can see, hear, smell and feel. The children have loved listening and watching the different ways in which people celebrate such as seeing the red lanterns, dragons, lion dancers, drummers and discussing all of the tasty food.

In Geography we have continued our learning of Wuhan and Manchester. This week we have looked at the human features that can be found in both. The children were really excited to discuss the local human features they know such as the Velopark Cycling Centre and the Etihad Stadium. Within the children's homework this week there is a Geography challenge to go on a walk and spot the human features around us, which I am sure all of the family can enjoy.
We have also introduced 'Oscar the Owl' in our class. Oscar is a reading teddy which will be given to a different child each day to take home and read to that night. Please ensure that your child's reading record is being signed each night as we do monitor this and reward children who have had their reading record signed every day.
Thank you,
Miss Hindle.
