Well done on a fantastic week Year 2! We’ve been super busy but you have been amazing.
Our new English genre is instructional writing. We started the week by following a set of instructions to make an origami elephant. We then looked at some other examples of instructions, identifying the features. Who can remember some?
In maths, we have started to learn how to use the multiplication sign. On Monday, we used practical equipment to make equal groups, before moving on to drawing arrays and writing repeated addition number sentences.
We have continued our geography work, learning about the continents and oceans of the world. We created some fantastic watercolour maps with labels.
On Thursday, we went on our second school trip of the year to Sacred Heart High School. During this session, we were able to consolidate our learning from our previous topic, ‘Living Things and Their Habitats’. I was really impressed with the children’s bravery; trying to touch or hold as many of the animals as they were comfortable with. Sacred Heart were super impressed with our excellent behaviour – well done Year Two!
Our science work continued back at school when we went on a walk to explore different materials being used in our environment. What materials did we see? What were they being used for?
We also had a very exciting afternoon on Wednesday, evaluating lots of different dippers as part of our DT unit. Some were spicy, others crunchy, some dry. What was your favourite dipper and why?
On Friday, we were super comfy in our pyjamas for Children in Need. We got a bit hot and sweaty during our Japanese Dance for our ‘Strictly Come St Charles’ performance. Thank you for all of your sponsorship money; we raised over £1000 for Children in Need!
Have a fantastic weekend.
