This Half Term:

Our first text in Year 2 is 'Paddington at the Palace' written by Michael Bond. 

When Mr Gruber takes Paddington to Buckingham Palace to watch the Changing of the Guard, there are so many people in the way he can't see anything! Luckily, a mysterious someone "on high" appears to like small bears ...

Our Maths focus at the start of Autumn term will be place value.

During RAID this half term we will be looking at our English text, 'Paddington at the Palace', exploring the text using our dog domains, Vocabulary Victor, Sequencing Suki, Rex Retriever, Predicting Pip, Inference Iggy, Fluency Fred and Expression Eric. Our dog domains will allow us to delve into the text a little further and enable us to open up the text to look at it in more depth.
