Year 2 What We Are Learning.

                                   

   Literacy

This week in English, the children have been busy writing

their own adapted versions of The Chocolate Planet story,

featuring the terrifying monsters they created themselves!

They worked hard to use conjunctions to link their ideas

smoothly, and challenged themselves to uplevel their writing

by including scary adjectives that really brought their scenes

to life. We're so proud of their creativity and effort!

Maths: Subtraction

This week, the children learnt about subtraction.

 They started with the vocabulary of subtraction.

Additionally, they used a written column method 

to solve subtraction problems that do not involve 

exchanging one 10 for ten 1s. Next week, they will 

be looking at subtraction problems that involve 

exchanging one 10 for ten 1s.

 Fantastic effort!

                                            

Geography

This week in Geography, pupils explored the

 concept of the Equator,the imaginary line 

that circles the centre of the Earth, dividing 

it into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. 

They learned how the Equator plays a key role in 

climate and why it's warmer near this central belt 

of the planet. Using maps and globes, pupils engaged 

in identifying countries located above (north of), below

(south of), or directly on the Equator.
