Delamere's Weekly Blog - 25.04.25

We wish you all a very warm welcome back after our Easter Break and the children have returned with lots of energy and focus ready for the last term of Year 2. Our first half term is only 5 weeks, so we have really hit the ground running! 

In English this week, we re-read the story 'Major Glad, Major Dizzy', created sentence strips about the different parts of the story and then planned our own diary entry which we will be completing next week.

In Maths we explored our 2 times tables, solving both multiplication and division calculations using practical resources, number lines and trying really hard to recall our number facts. TTRS is great for practising times tables and don't forget that Numbots is still a super tool to help build confidence in number work. Please make sure you are accessing one, or both, of these as part of your child's home learning. Let's make the Summer Term a record for the amount of people getting certificates and taking part! 

In other areas of the curriculum we played team games in PE and we have been looking at a few self regulation exercises in between our learning with mindful squiggles and rainbow breathing being particularly useful, we learnt about keeping our passwords and identity safe when online and making sure that we don't share personal information in Computing and we explored which sources of evidence give us the best information about different elements of the Great Fire of London in History.

It was great to celebrate with Delamere this week for winning the attendance trophy and the children chose to have a free painting and choose your own learning session. We had lots of fun and they are now busy planning the next one! 

Our big WELL DONE this week goes to Oliver, Isabelle and Reuben for their Numbots work and we have no certificates for TTRS! Come on Delamere - you can do it! 

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