Last week Year 2 has a great visit to the site of the new school. They had lots of questions and enjoyed looking around the new classrooms. We are looking forward to doing some architecture project work with the rest of the school next week.
Here we are about to go into the building!
Red team have been working incredibly hard this morning to produce their own brain posters! They have gathered the information they learnt in assembly this morning and then created a success criteria with their mixed year group team. It has been amazing to see the Year 6 children leading their groups and everyone working together. Well done red team!
We have had a great half term in 2c with lots of steps taken in our learning and lots of fun along the way! The children have truly embraced our masterchef topic, writing information reports about fruit, creating leaflets about how to grow plants and even using their play times to create dances and songs about healthy eating! There have been lots of calm pins achieved, high learning zones and lots of growing!
Enjoy your easter break and we look forward to starting our next project on nocturnal animals when we get back!
2c making their faces funny for Red Nose Day!
We have had a great week with lots of great learning!
On Monday we worked in trios to make visual models to show odd and even numbers. We focused on being able to explain our model to the rest of the class and all the children showed a great understanding of odd and even.
One group made an odd and even pattern.
Another group explained how even numbers could be halved.
On Tuesday we tried lots of fruits and vegetables for our masterchef ignite. We used a thesaurus to up level our words and write them into mind maps.
On Thursday we enjoyed dressing up as books characters! We even had a James from our current class book of James and the Giant Peach!
What a busy week!
As part of our independent writing this week we have written our own information reports on Mary Anning. The children have applied their knowledge of information reports from our literacy lessons and combined this with the information we have learnt about Mary Anning in history.
Here are Max and Lola’s fantastic examples!
In gymnastics today we have been practising shapes to use in our gymnastics routines. We practised each shape and gave each other verbal feedback on how we could improve.
We had a fantastic trip to the Natural History Museum on Wednesday. In the morning we visited the Ichthyosaur and Plesiosaur fossils discovered by Mary Anning and met the newly discovered Stegosaurus called Sophie! After lunch we spent most of our time looking around the dinosaur exhibition. We saw lots of fossils, models, pictures and information but the most spectacular was the moving T-Rex.
We had a great time and the children learnt lots of information ready for the rest of our project.
This week we have started our tree week project and the children have been learning about the Baobab Tree! They have remembered lots of fascinating facts about this interesting tree and are now starting to write their own information reports.
Here we are doing the Baobab quiz!
Next term Year 2 will be visiting the Natural History Museum in London. A letter has gone out on ParentMail, please return your permission slip before the end of this term.
Thank you,
Year 2 Teachers
Today we started our new maths journey for the week. The children have begun to look at division by sharing between people and dividing into equal groups. We made a fantastic start and I can’t wait to see how the children continue to grow their understanding.
We worked as a team to solve problems and use our success criteria.
Here we are working independently.
Here we are about to green & gold our fantastic learning from today’s lesson.
