Good morning, Y2 and families of Y2!

This week we will be celebrating the completion of our stories in literacy, illustrating book covers and reading our stories to each other.  There will be an opportunity for children to 'purchase' a classmate's story as we continue to learn about the value of money in maths.  I wonder whose story your child will choose to bring home...

In topic work we will be creating a background for our chalk polar bears using a combination of tints and shades.  I can't wait to see how the finished pieces look!  We will also be filming practise scenes of our Nativity Music Production ready for the real thing.  We have many bits of costumes in school but there may be one or two things that you can help with at home if you are able to.  We will always let you know what these things are as soon as we can.

I class we have an Advent wreath and over the next three weeks we will be inviting children to take home an Advent bag. This has a candle, a peg doll baby Jesus and a prayer inside. On the day the bag comes home, you and your child can watch our special Advent video which will be in the parent files below and called ‘The Nativity’. It would be wonderful if you could take this small opportunity to spend time sharing the Christmas Story.

The timetable is quite changeable this week due to fitting production opportunities in where we can.  The maths can be followed daily through these links to the usual White Rose videos:
