Year 2 Learning Challenge

Below is the Learning Challenge for this half term. A hard copy will be given out by the end of the week. As always, we can't wait to see the fantastic work produced. The Learning Challenge supports  children in deepening their understanding of lessons taught at School and proves very beneficial.
Your continual support in encouraging the children to complete the elements is greatly appreciated.

Poem: The World’s fastest bicycle by Kenn Nesbitt

My bicycle's the fastest
that the world has ever seen;
it has supersonic engines
and a flame-retardant sheen.

My bicycle will travel
a gazillion miles an hour --
it has rockets on the handlebars
for supplemental power.

The pedals both are jet-propelled
to help you pedal faster,
and the shifter is equipped
with an electric turbo-blaster.

The fender has a parachute
in case you need to brake.
Yes, my bike is undeniably
the fastest one they make.

My bicycle's incredible!
I love the way it feels,
and I'll like it even more
when Dad removes the training wheels.

Artist: Michael Irvine
