Year 2 Week 4 Learning

 Year 2 - Week Four  Learning

We have been very busy in Year 2 this week, here are some of the highlights of our week! 

Literacy 

This week in literacy our grammar focus was verbs and adverbs. We looked closely at the features of instructions and followed  the steps to make our own jam sandwich. The children then wrote their own set of instructions of ‘how to make a jam sandwich’.

Maths

This week in Maths the children have been comparing and ordering numbers using the inequality signs. 

Science & Geography

In science, we have continued to look at materials and their properties. This week, we tested the hypothesis 'Hard materials cannot absorb water'. The children put this to the test by closely observing a brick, plastic cup and piece of wood to see if they were absorbent. In Geography, we have continued looking at the countries that make up the United Kingdom. the children focused on capital cities this week and made a travel guide about one of the capital cities in the UK. We looked at their flags and important places with the capitals.

Literacy

This week we have been thinking and writing about how Beegu is feeling. The children used role play and freeze frame to create a silent tableau to replicate Beegu’s thoughts and feelings.

Adjectives

Number Splat

    Science

The children in Year One selected four different trees around the School to observe and track the changes across the four seasons this year. This is a wonderful opportunity for outdoor learning and allows the children to experience the changes of the seasons for themselves. We discussed the things the children know about Autumn and spent time looking at the trees and describing what the children could see. 

Next week we will be collating our findings and writing a report based on our observations. 

BBC Science Clips: Autumn

ICT

This week the children have been talking and learning about how to stay safe online. They have been exploring the internet and learning how to log on to the ipads. The children have been expressing what they like to play and do at home on their own electronics. 

Next week, the children will continue to learn to use search engines related to our topics.
