Year 2 - What we are learning!



Science

This week in Science we did our last lesson on materials! We spoke about all the fabulous things we have learnt about materials. We have come to know that materials are used for different purposes and some can be changed by squashing, bending, twisting and stretching. We made tents using different materials and tested whether they were waterproof or not. We showed great resourcefulness and reciprocity when working in our groups. It was AMAZING!


 

Literacy

The children worked very hard to write their newspaper reports about the Great Fire of  London this week.  They used the appropriate features including the  5Ws (Who? Where? What? When? And Why?) and conjunctions to link their ideas. They included eye witness accounts and clearly explained why the fire spread quickly. Well done Year 2!



Maths

This week in maths the children focused on addition and subtraction across 1s and related facts. We used the information we have previously learnt to add numbers to 100! The children showed great resilience when completing challenges. 



Forest School


We managed to light a fire with pine class today even though it was wet. We made toast and chose either jam or honey to go on top. We drank hot chocolate and sang songs around the fire. There was time to make conker spiders using palm drills and pipe cleaners. A fun session, well done everyone.
