What a wonderful week we have had, full of great learning and fun. Here are some of the highlights of our week!
Literacy
In Literacy this week, the children have learnt about 2a sentences and have used this to describe nouns. 2a sentences involve two adjectives that are used to describe a noun for example, ‘the snowman is wearing a sparkly, red scarf.’
Here are a few examples of the sentences that some of the children in yr 2 have written.
“The adorable, white sheep made the child smile.” - Aariz, Mulberry.
“The frosty, white snowman stood in the freezing, cold snow.”- Amaira, Rowan.
“The snowman was wearing shiny, multi-coloured gloves.”- Aadya, Pine.
Maths
In Maths this week, children have continued to develop their addition and subtraction skills. They have learned how to add three 1-digit numbers together. The children have ensured that they have spotted the number bond to 10 first and then added the remaining number. Children continued to use concrete and pictorial resources to support their learning.
Science
Year 2 has started a new topic in Science which is Living things. The children are learning to identify and name a variety of plants and animals in their habitats and they are beginning to understand that most living things live in habitats they are suited to. This week we investigated micro-habitats around our school. Luckily we have some amazing new facilities which made this a very fun experience as our playground now features bug hotels, grassy areas and even a small pond! As part of their task, children were able to describe the habitat and identify some bugs and insects that might live there. Many children spotted spiders, ants and mosquitoes in the micro habitats that were found. Well done everybody.
