Weekly News! 21.6.24
What a super week in Year 2!
Take a look at what we have been getting up to 😊
Guided Reading
This week in Guided Reading, we have been reading the story, Magic Finger. We have been focusing on the reading skills of prediction, asking questions and using our knowledge of the story so far to aid freeze framing in drama!
English
In English this week, we have been focusing on vocabulary. We have looked at expanded noun phrases to describe characters, verbs and adverbs to describe how characters move and conjunctions to extend sentences. We have showcased this learning by writing a showpiece where we needed to create a new character for The Magic Finger and describe them.
This weeks CEW we are learning are..
SPaG
In SPaG this week, we have been looking at the soft c and hard c sounds. We sorted the sounds, solved puzzles with the sounds and edited mistakes on Miss Davey’s learning.
Maths
In Maths this week, we have recapped our learning of the four operations -addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. We have used these four operations to solve measure problems such as length, money, mass and capacity.
Next week we will be focusing on money.
Thematic
In Thematic this week, we have been scientists! We have been exploring habitats and micro-habitats. We learnt the difference between the two and learnt how a micro-habitat is far more adaptive.
Home Learning

Summer Fair
Our Chilton Summer Fair will take place on Friday 5th July from 3.15-5. In order to be able to run the fair, we need a little bit of help from our families.
-On Friday 21st June, we will send home a white bag. Please can you decorate this and add in some small treats e.g. sweets or a small toy. Please can these come back into school on Friday 28th June.
-On Friday 28th June, we will have a whole school non-uniform day. In return, please can we ask that KS2 bring in a bottle for our tombola stall. Reception and KS1, please can you bring in a prize that matches your child's house colour for our rainbow raffle prize. Please can we ask that these donations come into school on Friday 5th July.
-Finally, we will also be running a 'Take home a teddy' stall. If you have any unwanted soft toys, please could you send these into school before Friday 5th July.
