Year 2 update
We are so proud to still see fantastic learning taking place at home after such a long time away from school.
Mrs Freeman and I will be posting the home learning again from next week. We are also based in school now so we’ll aim to reply to any messages as soon as we can. Here’s a reminder of our contact details – carolinetaylor@spherefederation.org and jackiefreeman@spherefederation.org.
Also, a big thank you to Mr Wilks who has been posting the home learning for a few weeks.
Firstly, well done to Rufus, Olivia and Theo who have reached their next Lexia level.
Here’s a selection of what your Year 2 friends have been up to this week – it’s been another busy one.
Busy Bees
Mrs Taylor and Mrs Freeman really enjoyed being able to catch up with lots of you over the phone last week. It was great to speak to the children and hear all about the different things you have all been up to.
Have a look at some of these photos to find out what your classmates have been doing at home.
Brilliant Year 2 Learning!
Hello Year 2s!
Thanks very much for all your hard work this week. You’ve done some brilliant learning and I’ve loved seeing it.

Another busy week at home…
Another week has passed by. Well done to everyone for continuing with your home learning as much as you can.
This week, we have been scientists, spellers, artists, designers, photographers, poets, clock watchers and much much more.
Enjoy the weekend and stay safe!
The scores are in!
Last week, the Year 2 adults were set a challenge to try and identify members of the class based on their baby photos. We have thoroughly enjoyed looking through the photos and trying to match them up – some being easier than others! All the staff would like to say a big thank you for giving us this challenge. It was great fun and it definitely made us smile.
As requested, here are the scores and, with no cheating, the winner is…
Mrs Maqbool who felt very proud to get them all right and get 22 points!
In second place was Mrs Bharath with 20 points.
In joint third place was Mrs Freeman and Mrs Taylor both with 18 points.
Thank you to all the families who took part in this challenge.
Home learning
What great expressive reading of the recent fluency text!
Using Oxford Owl online is a great way to read a variety of texts.
Another creative design of the Eiffel Tower and a visit to see the real thing!
Wow – this model must taken some time and patience.
I also managed to find a photo from visiting Paris 15 years ago!
We loved this junk modelling – combining design technology, science and money education!
More creative junk modelling
Great money education and homophone spelling learning.
Science – experiments and trees
Keeping calm with some yoga
Possible Junior Bake Off contestant here having made their sisters’ birthday cake. Yummy!
More Lexia success
We’ve had some more Lexia success with Sunny, Hafsa, Theo and Zhuokai achieving their next level. Great work – keep it up!
Lexia is a great online resource to support your child’s reading.
Do let us know (carolinetaylor@spherefederation.org and jackiefreeman@spherefederation.org) if you need any help with accessing this resource at home at the moment.
Bonjour all the way from France
Year 2 have been learning about France and Europe.
In Paris, the capital city of France, there is a very famous landmark called the Eiffel Tower. 
After finding out lots of facts about the Eiffel Tower, the children created their own.
