Children in Need Day- Friday 13th November. Your child can wear non- uniform/ themed clothes/ spotty clothes on this day.
What a fantastic week we have had in Year 2. We have loved making fairy circles around the growing mushrooms, learning about the festival of Diwali and celebrating our OPAL playtime award this week!.
English
In English, we started our new book- Last Stop on Market Street. We explored the idea of finding beauty in the ordinary and thinking about the world around us in different ways. We listened to a guitar instrumental with our eyes closed and drew pictures we could see in our minds. We used our ideas to write descriptive sentences, thinking carefully about what we could see, hear and feel. We also became word detectives, spotting some interesting verbs- lurched, sagged, sighed, creaked and freckled. We noticed how these words brought the story to life.
Maths
In Maths, we have been practising addition and subtraction by bridging to the next 10. We used counters and tens frames to help us partition the numbers systematically and worked on finding the number bond to 10 when adding numbers up to 100. Some of the questions have been tricky but we have shown a brilliant can- do attitude to our learning this week!
Topic
In PE, we really enjoyed our new dance unit. We explored moving around like busy bumblebees and used hoops as flowers. We loved performing our very own bee waggle dance which followed a count of eight. There were some wonderful buzzing bees and creative movements.
In Personal Development and Wellbeing, we have learnt about the value of empathy. We enjoyed role- playing different scenarios we would need to show empathy in- a new friend joining our class, someone who is hurt or people in need in the wider community.
A wonderful week, Year 2.
