Welcome to Year 2!  So far we have had a fantastic start to Year 2. These past two weeks we have been getting settled in the classroom and learning the new class routines and rules. 

This week have spoken about our goals and aspirations for the end of Year 2 and have created an aspiration tree for our classroom. 

We have also started our guided reading lessons focusing on inference of pictures. As a class we discuss the picture below and came up with some wonderful ideas about what we saw in the picture and what type of characters the wolf and the little boy in the tree were. 

All of our ideas were different. Here are a few examples of the many ideas.
" The wolf is protecting the little boy from danger"
" A little boy has transformed into a wolf at night"
" The wolf tried to eat the little boy. He left his tie"

We then used the picture to begin thinking about our own stories. 

This week we will be starting our topic ´The Great Fire of London´ and recapping our phonics looking at the set 2 and 3 speed sounds already learnt.  Next week we will start our Read Write Inc lessons. 


What you can do at home this week:

. Read with your children in both Spanish and English. Asking them questions about their book. For example:

- How was your character feeling at the start of your book? How did it change towards the end?
- If you could change a part of the book, what would it be? Why?
- Would you like to be a character in this story? Give me two reasons why. 

. Phonics: 
- Revisit set 2 and 3 sounds 

. Use the following website to practice reading the high frequency words: 

Can you write them once you have read them ?
