Delamere's Weekly Blog - 06.11.2026

What a fantastic week we have enjoyed in Year Two! The children have worked hard across all areas of their learning and have shown great enthusiasm, curiosity and perseverance.

 

In Maths, we began our new unit on shape by recognising and identifying 2D and 3D shapes. The children enjoyed using their knowledge to create shape pictures, demonstrating excellent understanding of the different properties of shapes.

 

In History, we became historians and carefully examined a range of sources of evidence to look for clues about the three queens we have been studying. We have been amazed by the children's recall of facts, and it was wonderful to see them working so thoughtfully as historians, asking questions and using evidence to support their ideas.

 

In English, we explored the features of a diary and then created our own plans for a version of Rocket's diary. The children showed excellent sequencing skills and thought carefully about the events they wanted to include. We are looking forward to seeing their finished diary entries.

 

PE has been full of energy and challenge this week. In Gymnastics, we practised balances, including pike and straddle shapes, focusing on control and body tension. During our Personal Challenges unit, we thought about how being ready to learn and participate helps us to develop our agility and coordination when completing different tasks.

 

PE is now on Tuesday and Friday. As the weather is getting colder please make sure that your child has joggers or leggings and a hoodie if possible. If not, they can wear their school jumper or cardigan. 

 

A huge congratulations to our Numbots winners this week: Mia, Noah and Harper C. Well done for your fantastic effort and commitment!

 

Finally, a big thank you for all your support with reading at home. Remember to record four reads each week to continue your journey around the world.

 

We hope you have a wonderful weekend and look forward to more fun and learning next week.
