What a fun first term of 2025 we have had!
This week we have dived into learning about fractions. The children understand a fraction is a part of a whole and is made up of equal parts. We have looked at halves, quarters and thirds. We have explained the difference between the denominator and numerator and what they both represent. 

In English the children have been busy writing their own traditional tales with a twist, so far we have seen Cinderella meeting the wolf, Jack reading his favourite book in the woods and The Gingerbread Man running away from the Wicked Witch. 

We finished our computing unit testing out our own maps, and then using our debugging skills to fix any broken algorithms. Whilst in gymnastics we finished our unit creating a six piece sequence full of balances, twists and spins. 

We also had a lovely afternoon getting creative in Art, making our own mono prints inspired by the artist X'agoco X'are. The children really took their time exploring the different details and they came out fabulous and have made a display up in our main corridor. 

We hope you all have a well deserved rest over half term and we look forward to seeing all the children next term for Superheroes!

Take care,

The Year 2 Team
