What We’ve Been Learning – Year 2 – Autumn Week 8

• We have made a contents page for our castle booklets and completed them by designing our own front covers.

• We have been learning about subtraction and have used 100 squares and drawings of diennes (10s and 1s sticks) to help us solve subtraction number sentences.

• We have finished our castle collages by using felt tips, fabric and straws to add detail.

• We have performed in our Harvest Assembly alongside our Year 5 buddy class.

• We had a visit from the author Sophy Henn and learnt about some of her books.

• We have learnt the spellings  – would, could, should, pass, grass

• In handwriting we have practised the joins – an, en, in.

At home:

• Over the holidays make a helmet or head dress to wear at the medieval banquet on 14th November.
• Practise reading and writing the focus spellings.
• Solve your own number subtraction number sentences using a 100 square or diennes.
