 Year 2 Week 2 Learning

Literacy

We have been working on our focus text 'Jack And The Baked Beanstalk' by Colin Stimpson this week. We began by making predictions about the story from the front cover and the blurb, thinking about how it may be similar or different to the original Jack and the Beanstalk story that we are familiar with. We then wrote a description of the setting at Jack's burger ca, thinking about what we could see, hear and smell. This required us to use lots of interesting adjectives and apply the 'ing' suffix. Finally we were using our knowledge of commas to write lists of all the jobs that Jack's mum does when she goes to work.

Parents: Ask me to tell you what has happened in the story so far.

Maths

In maths we have been continuing our work on 3D shapes, sorting them in different ways and thinking about their properties.

vocabulary: faces, vertices, edges

DT

This week, we have been creating designs for a chair that we will be making for Jack. We had to think about the different parts of the chair and the materials we will need.

Science

In Science we have been looking at different bulbs and seeds. We drew an observational drawing before planting them and will continue to closely observe as they grow.
