This week in year 2

Maths

We have started learning about division this week. Please keep counting in 2s, 5s and 10s with your child at home. So far, we have used grouping to solve division problems. For example, if you had 10 books and you were asked to put them into groups of 2 you would have 5 groups. We have then started to record this as 10 รท 2 = 5. We are encouraging children to use their counting skills to help them solve these problems and see the link between multiplication and division.

English

We have started a new unit on information writing so that we can write a leaflet on China. So far we have looked at and started to learn a good example of information writing about London. Next week we will be changing this piece of writing to be about Brighton. Ask your child if they can remember any of the actions we have learnt.
