Over the next two weeks we will be achieving these objectives.

We will be making our own E-Safety posters, discussing how we use technology safely in and outside of school. We will then move on to capturing and taking our own photographs.
Maths - Over the next two weeks we are we are going to be learning about time. We will be telling and writing the time to five minutes, including quarter past/to the hour. We will also be drawing the hands on a clock face to show different times.

What an amazing week we have had in Year Two. We made three ladders to help our shy dragon climb down from our writing shed.
We have also been using water colours to paint our own harvest pictures. We finished the week by reading out some prayers in church.
Eisteddfod
We are once again running our popular Eisteddfod performance poetry competition across the Multi Academy Trust this year.
The children can learn a poem of their choice (and can even write their own poem if they wish)
Find below some example poems to give you an idea of appropriate level for your child's year group. Please note that whilst you may use these poems, there is no expectation to and we love to see variety and children's own choices.
Performances will be judged on how well the poem has been learnt, clarity, expression and actions used to enhance the performance.
The first round of class auditions will be on Friday 22nd November, followed by the semi finals on Friday 24th January and then the finals on Thursday 5th March - we can’t wait to hear the children’s performances!
Please do ask if you have any questions regarding the Eisteddfod. Thank you.
