 We are going to learn to recite the poem 'The Owl and the Pussycat'. 

We need to learn the words but also think about how we recite the poem, we don't want to sound like robots!

Let's look at the first verse of the poem together then you are going to work as a group . Think about the actions you could use to help you to remember the words.

I can add amounts of money together to find the total.

When we add money together, we are finding how much there is altogether.

10p + 5p = __p

20p + 10p = __p

50p + 20p = __p

£1 + £1 = £_

Emily buys:

• 🍎 Apple = 20p
• 🍌 Banana = 15p

How much does she spend altogether?

Ben buys:

• 🥤 Drink = 45p
• 🍪 Biscuit = 30p

Today we are going to decorate our finger puppets!

You’ve all done a brilliant job making them, and now it’s time to add the finishing touches. You can use colours, fabric, buttons, or anything fun provided to bring your puppet to life.

Think about what your puppet is — maybe it’s an animal, a person, or even a made-up character! Be creative, take your time, and most importantly, have fun. We can’t wait to see your amazing designs, Year 2!

Do you know what a secret or surprise is?

Are they the same or are they different?

Surprises and secrets may seem similar, but they can be very different. A surprise is something positive—like a birthday gift or a special trip—that will eventually be revealed and bring joy. A secret, on the other hand, is something meant to stay hidden and never told.

Can you think of a surprise that you know of?

What secrets might somebody want you to keep?

If ever a secret makes you feel worried or unsure, you should always tell an adult you trust, like your teacher or your mom/dad. They are there to help you!

Once upon a time, there was a little bunny named Bella. Bella wanted to surprise her friend, Lily, with a pretty flower she picked. Bella kept this secret until Lily’s birthday and was so happy when Lily saw the flower! That was a good secret because it made everyone happy."

"But one day, Bella’s friend asked her not to tell anyone that they broke a toy. Bella wasn’t sure what to do because it didn’t feel like a good secret. She talked to her mommy, and mommy said, 'It’s okay to tell me about secrets that make you feel worried. We can fix the toy together!
