Year 2 What We Are Learning

 

                                                

 

   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!

The Tower of London Trip

This week we took a trip to the Tower of London.

We had great fun exploring. During the trip we saw t

he traitors gate, ravens and the queen's jewels!

We were able to meet the beefeaters and learn some

fantastic facts about what London used to be like!

 

                Forest School

This morning Mulberry class enjoyed making music in

the sunshine. We began experimenting with musical

instruments and finding different ways to make the

sounds. These include scraping, tapping and shaking.

We then made our own woodland sounds and

instruments from sticks, leaves, stones and shells and

performed in our mini orchestras. Lots of fun was had by all. 

Year Reception: What We Are Learning w/b 25th November 2024

 

Year Reception: What We Are Learning 

Reception have been working really hard this week. Our focus book was Kipper’s Birthday.

Here is what we have been up to:

The children have also been working hard in Read, Write, Inc this week. The children have all been assessed and are now working in groups based on this.  Please continue to read 5 times a week with your children and work on set 1 sounds as well as word time words (1.1, 1.2, 1.3 etc). The children discussed what happens at a birthday party. They worked hard to write CVC words such as box, rip, hat, tag, win, hug and nap. They used their sound mats to write down the initial sounds they could hear in the words and they tried to sound the CVC words out using the sound mats. 

In Maths this week the children have been learning one more and one less with numbers up to five. They also worked hard to explore the composition of the numbers 1-5. They were able to talk about the whole and the parts they could see for example: three frogs were on the log, another two were in the pond, there were five frogs altogether. Three is a part, two is a part and there are five altogether. 

Reception were also visited by some elves this week! They brought us lots of Christmas stories to enjoy all through December.

Well done Reception for an amazing week - keep up all your brilliant work!

Provision in year one!

 

Year one has had a term filled with exciting learning opportunities within the provision. All children have had the opportunity to engage in activities that enhance and consolidate many different skills throughout the day. Continuous provision helps to solidify their learning, promote prior knowledge, and encourage active and independent learners. As well as building their subject knowledge, the provision helps to promote children's social and emotional skills, which prepares them for life outside of the classroom!

The provision is carefully planned by the class teachers and offers various levels of challenge and critical thinking. It is well known that Continuous Provision is the second teacher in the classroom!

Dear Parents and Carers,

Thank you very much for your support since

the beginning of the academic year. 

The children have worked very hard and enjoyed

the Great Fire of London unit, their 1666 Day,

Tower of London visit and other associated activities. 

This half-term, we will like to organise a food drive.

Hence, we want the children to bring in non-perishable

food  items like canned food and other dry packaged

food by the 13th of December 2024.  The food will be

donated to charity and food banks to help the less

fortunate in our society.

Thank you for your help.

Yours sincerely,
