Year 2 Weekly Review
23/05/2025
Maths – This week in Maths, we continued exploring money and coin values. We used our knowledge of counting in 2s, 5s, and 10s to count sets of coins and find the total of mixed coin collections. We then used real coins to practically make different amounts. Later in the week, we started learning about giving change – a tricky but exciting new challenge! On Thursday and Friday, we also began exploring fractions, learning how to split shapes and objects into equal parts.
English – In English, we finished planning our very own stories and used all our hard work to write, edit, and publish our animal tales. Each story featured an animal visiting London – with plenty of imagination, adventure, and fun! These brilliant stories will be coming to a bookshop near you soon (or at least your child's book bag!).
Art – It’s been a very arty week! In our first Art lesson, we designed our own nature-themed tiles. In the second lesson, we used clay to carefully make our designs using all the skills we've learned so far. Finally, on Friday, once the clay had dried, we painted our tiles – and they looked fantastic!
