Year 2 Week 4 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 we have been continuing to look at the features of a diary. We wrote diaries in role as our favourite characters! James write a fantastic Spider-Man diary and included lots of adjectives to add detail, “After the party Spider-Man had a delicious hot chocolate!”

 

Maths

In maths, the children have continued their work on addition and subtraction. WE have been concentrating on using column method to subtract 2 2-digit numbers including exchanging.

Steps to success

1. Put the problem into columns

2. Subtract the ones

3. Smallest number on the floor, borrow 10 from next door!

3. Subtract the tens

4. Check your answer

History

In History we have continued our learning on The Great Fire of London. This week, we have been thinking about things we already know about The Great Fire OF London and things that we still want to find out. The children wrote facts and then composed questions which we will return to next week to further our research.

In the small world area the children have the opportunity to act out events and compare these to modern day fire safety.
