Another fun filled and busy week in Year 2! Our Christmas Around the World topic is in full swing! This week, we have been learning about Christmas traditions in Spain. The children are beginning to spot similarities to their own Christmas traditions and have thoroughly enjoyed learning about differences in Christmas traditions too. The children enjoyed creating their own Kings 'cone' people and writing facts about Christmas celebrations in Spain too. Today, we had a glimpse at next week's country.... Australia! We are looking forward to hearing more about sandmen, Christmas barbecues and surfing Santas next week.

The children have impressed us with their sewing skills during our DT project. They have been busy designing a Christmas pouch and have made a super start stitching the felt together using a running stitch. We can't wait for you to see the end result.

During maths, the children have been consolidating column addition and have begun column subtraction. We have been super impressed with their determination to learn this new arithmetic method. Please see the Home Learning page for more information about this week's maths task.

Our week has also been filled with Nativity rehearsals as the show is quickly approaching! Lots of singing the songs, practising our lines and dances has been taking place this week. If you haven't already sent in any additional items requested for costumes, please send them in next week as we are hoping to do a dress rehearsal on Thursday. The children are really excited! 

Have  a lovely weekend.
