Year 2 Weekly Review
13/06/2025
Maths – This week in Maths, we continued exploring the concept of fractions. We introduced the numerals ¼, 2/4, and ¾, and discovered that 2/4 is equivalent to ½. We also began measuring objects using non-standard units. Did you know that Mr Davidson and Miss Morris' desk is the same height as six pencils?
English – In English, we finished our modelled biography about Grace Darling. As a class, we then chose a historical hero to focus on for our independent writing. Using the power of AI, we were able to ask them questions about their early life, achievements, and fun facts! We’ll be using their answers to help us plan and write our own biographies next week.
PSHE– We talked about the difference between a want and a need. For example, Mr Davidson wants a holiday, but he needs a good sleep!
