Year 2 Newsletter – Friday 12th June 2026

June 12, 2026

English

Next Week we will continue our work on The Lighthouse Keeper’s Catastrophe. We will be writing our own catastrophe that Mr Grinling gets involved in! In the original story he loses the key to the the lighthouse! But we will be thinking of our own disasters and putting these into exciting sentences to entertain a reader. We will use diagonal and horizontal joins to make our writing beautifully neat and will share our alternative endings with a friend.

Reminders

Year 2 Trip to The Wilderness Foundation – Wednesday 17th June 2026

Year 2 Open Door Afternoon – Wednesday 24th June at 3:00pm – come and celebrate your child’s amazing work!

Maths

We will continue our work on time. We will practise reading and recording o’clock, half past, quarter to/past times and then will move on to 5 minute intervals. We will also learn about equivalent times and how many minutes are in an hour and how many seconds are in a minute. We will then move on to solving problems involving the passing of time.

Topic

Next week we are going to be going on our exciting trip to The Wilderness Foundation! We will have a great time building dens, pond dipping and bug hunting, thinking carefully about animal habitats. We will also explore the different plants and trees found in the forest. We can’t wait to hunt out some amazing insects!

We will also be complete our own Medieval artwork ready for the St Nicolas Medieval Fayre in Witham on Saturday 27th June! If you would like to see your child’s artwork on display, please feel free to visit St Nicolas church on this date.

In MiniMe Mindfulness with Abbey this week we revisited the superpower resilience. We reminded ourselves that we can deal with things that do not go to plan! When things are difficult we listen to feel good fox and keep on going!
