Maths
There will continue to be a big focus on times tables this term.
TT Rockstars - please support your child to regularly practise their times tables at home as knowing these is crucial to their progress in Maths. We will be consolidating our 2, 5 adn 10s and then learn our 3 and 4s.
Practice your signing and rapping Year 2 to some of these times tables. You could even make up your own song or rap to teach the class!
Have FUN!

Spelling lists will culminate in a weekly dictation activity to apply the spellings learnt. Spelling lists will be given every Friday to be learned for the following Friday dictation activity.
Please see the documents below for activities and support to help you learn your spelling words.
