Year 2 What We Are Learning

 

 Literacy

This week in Literacy we learnt the features

of  a non chronological report. We

found out we need headings, pictures,

present tense, technical vocab and captions.

We learnt about Jackals which feature in our

story Meerkat Mail. We used this information

to write a report about Jackals. We found

out interesting facts such as ‘Jackals

have a yipping sound that only their

family members can understand’. 

Forest School

Pine class had a morning of fun at forest school. We all enjoyed the dry weather after some very wet weeks. The children had the opportunity to try lighting their own mini fire using a fire steel and cotton wool. It took some time but lots of resilience was shown. Some children built their own pretend fires practising the different structures. Great care was taken making forest people, two children even decided to make Peter Pan and Wendy and dressed them ready to get married. A great morning was had by all. 

Maths

This week, the children compared the masses of

different objects using the vocabulary of

lighter  and heavier. Next, they practised

finding the masses of different objects in

grams and kilograms. Also, they had the

opportunity to use different scales

to find the masses of various objects.

                                                  

  

Year 2 What We Are Learning

Geography 

This week in Geography we learnt about the Oceans

of the world 5 Oceans Song. We also learnt fun facts about

each Ocean. Did you know that the Atlantic Ocean

was the first ocean to be crossed by a plane? Our task

was to recall and label the 5 Oceans on a map.

We did a great job!

                           Literacy

As a follow up  to last week’s egg box making session,

the children wrote a set of instructions on how to

make egg box dragons. They wrote a comprehensive list

of  the resources needed to make the dragons. Next they

used  imperative verbs  with adverbs of manners to

make their instructions clear and easy to follow.  It was lovely

to see the children using Top Tips in their writing too.

Well done Year 2.

            

Maths

This week Year 2 were able to subtract two digit numbers across

ten and not across ten. They completed mixed addition and

subtraction problems. They have shown their understanding of

addition and subtraction in their comparison number sentences

and missing number sentences. Also, they have completed their

end of unit assessment which marks the end of addition and

subtraction and they have done a great job. Well done Year 2!

Mulberry class were busy making music today at forest school. 

We played some percussion instruments to see how they make 

sounds, then we made our own woodland instruments with 

leaves, stones, acorn cups and sticks. We performed as an 

orchestra and later wrote our using woodland notation.

 Lots of fun was had by all.
