Hope you all had a lovely holiday and are not too tired (like Miss Hewitt!) after the first week back! You would be very proud of how quickly the children in Class 2 settled back into doing lots of challenging work this week 🙂

We have been learning –

• counting in familiar patterns without the hundred square
• numbers before, after, more than and less than
• telling the time on digital clocks and matching these times to analogue times
• reading our new books using our decoding skills to work out new words
• rhyming words for our spelling words
• the ou sound
• sounding out, blending and reading nonsense words to help us be able to read words we do not know (e.g swoomp, chord, thrung)
• reviewing our targets from last term and setting new ones
• about the feeling anger and the behaviours that can come with this feeling
• about out new theme for topic this term – geography
• making predictions about our new topic and things we may see in a video of the Isle of Harris
• handwriting the letter m and M

Predictions about things the class thought they’d see in a video about the Isle of Harris and afterwards things they didn’t think they’d see
