Literacy

Spellings will be on the website from the week beginning 14th May, click here to see the spellings page.

Reading

If you would like more books to read at home, you can access many different fiction and non-fiction texts by following this link :http://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/Library/Index/?AgeGroup=4

You can choose the age range, play the story with sound or let your child read to themselves. This is a brilliant way of practising reading.

 

Numeracy

This week children will be looking at measure.  Children will use standard and non-standard forms of measure and choose appropriate units of measure for different objects.

Year 2 children will also be doing their maths SATs.
