Welcome to Year 2
This week once again has been a busy week of learning.
In English we have begun learning about instructional writing through our new book ‘How to wash a woolly mammoth.’
We have all worked extremely hard in maths on our learning about fractions with lots of new skills and vocabulary and you should all be very hard of your achievements.
In History, you have all taken a keen interest in our current topic. Leading on from our trip to the Tower of London, we have been learning about the Battle of Hastings in 1066 and how this led to King William being named William the Conqueror.
Our art project on clay and how to use this correctly is going well and you are all acquiring new skills week by week. I look forward to seeing your end of topic sculptures.
Your home learning for this week is below.
Many thanks

Hi Santorini and Crete
May has arrived and it is going to be a very exciting month for us.
Today we did plant our seeds as part of our science lesson and in the coming weeks we will be able to observe these seeds becoming plants.
In English we have completed our stories inspired by the ”The Lost Homework” book and next week we will start a new exciting book.
In Maths we are becoming fraction champions and today we did a lot of practice in recognizing and explaining non-unit fractions.
In our history lessons we learned about the coronation ceremony and we used drama to present our learning about the events that took place during the coronation day of King Charles III in 2022.
See below for your home learning task:
Have a lovely weekend .

Dear Santorini and Crete
What a fantastic week.
Today you participated in our school assembly for the celebration of the Independence Day for Greece and Cyprus.
You baked delicious Easter cookies and you started your Holy Week lessons reflecting Jesus’ miracles with the Resurrection of Lazarus.
For this week instead of a writing task, your homework will be the SATs paper you received from us to practise your reading skills at home.
Have a great weekend
