By Mrs S Taylor23rd March 2016
Thank you to all the parents who attend our Year 2 assessment workshops. It was great to see so many of you there and we hope the sessions provided you with lots of useful information.
Below is the presentation we talked through at both sessions. If you were unable to attend please do not hesitate to speak to your class teacher and ask any questions regarding the upcoming assessments.
We are looking to put together a number of resources requested during the meetings and hope to have these available for your after the Easter break.
Thank you again for all of your support in the lead up and during these assessments.

Explanations of maths methods used in Year 2.

Spelling rules lists for Year 2.

 

If you have any more suggestions/questions please do not hesitate to speak to your class teacher. I will be uploading the presentation onto the website after we repeat the meeting next week.

Friday Reading Record Challenge

By l hearn10th March 2016

1E and 2B are now in competition! We are trying to see which class can get the most families involved in our Reading Record Challenge! Instead of writing a comment over the weekend in your Reading Records, we would like you to complete our Friday Challenge with your family.

 

After you read together this weekend, we would like you to write down where or take a photo of where you chose to read.
We can’t wait to hear about where you chose to read!

Cooking time!

By l hearn9th March 2016

In Year 2 our project is Master Chef. On Tuesday we worked in teams to make delicious cakes!  We followed the instructions, weighed all the ingredients,  mixed all the ingredients together and baked the cakes. We all got to take some home to try with our families. Here are some pictures from our cooking afternoon…

Growing, growing, growing!

By l hearn29th February 2016

In Year 2 our current project is Master Chef. This project looks at how food is made and where the ingredients come from. First we look at plants and what they need to grow.  Today we got to do our learning outside as we set up our class experiments to test whether plants actually need water,  soil and light. After that,  we got to plant our own sunflowers! Here are some pictures of our outdoor learning…

Year 2 musicians!

By l hearn27th February 2016

Every Friday since September we have had a whole class music session.  We have learnt lots of different songs and played so many different instruments! We have learnt how to keep a steady beat as well as lots of different sound patterns. The best part is when we all get to play together but it can get very loud!

Ask us at home and we may be able to sing you a tune!

Class 2B, Spring 1 Week 2 Weekly update!

By l hearn15th January 2016

This week Class 2B have really grown their knowledge of nocturnal animals! Did you know that owls have 14 neck bones? Interestingly, owls have different colour eyes depending on whether they are nocturnal or diurnal. These are just a few of the exciting facts we have used to make a report in literacy.

In maths, we have been learning about number and place value. We have been comparing and sequencing numbers and then we connected our knowledge of number to answering questions about different owl’s wingspan.

Next week we will be using our hedgehog home learning to create a report on hedgehogs.

Keep up the great learning 2B!
