Year 2

The adults in our class are:

Ms Davies and Mrs Trillow

Week ending 9.10.26

English:

This week, we completed our writing about a beach trip, and we have been getting really creative, with thinking up sentences to write that help us to practice using some of our spelling words.

SpAG

During our phonics, spelling and grammar (SpAG) sessions, we have been learning about the suffix 'ness', and how we can add this to adjectives to form new words like: happy/happiness, kind/kindness and  lazy/laziness.

Maths

We have completed our unit on place value and have been practising counting in 2's, 3's, 5's and 10's to find the missing numbers on numberlines. We were surprised to find out that we could use these skills to help us with our Time Table Rockstars!

Science

Today we began our new unit on materials.  We sorted many different items into categories according to whether they were made from: wood, metal, plastic, fabric, or glass, and then we thought of adjectives to describe them.

PE

This week we began our unit on basketball, and we practised different ways of moving the ball, balancing the ball on our body, and moving the ball in and out of our legs without dropping it!

Music

We have finally begun to start playing our recorders this week!  We learnt the notes B, A, and G, and practised playing our recorders to the tune of Hot Cross Buns, and Sailor, Sailor On the Sea.

We also learnt to sing the song: When I was one I sucked my thumb, and we thought up our own actions to perform along with the song.

RE

In RE this week, we looked at some of the miracles that Jesus performed, and we thought about ways that Christians today try to follow some of the good things that he did, by helping others who may be less fortunate than themselves.

PHSE

In our PHSE this week, we looked at a photograph of a small plant growing through a crack in the pavement, and we discussed how this might have been quite difficult for the plant.  We thought about growing up and how that can sometimes be difficult because we cannot always do what we feel we want to do.  Some of us had lots of thoughts to share about what we would do when we grow up! 

Show and Tell

Many of the children have been asking about 'Show and Tell', as it is something they did when they were in Year 1.  At the moment, we have been establishing new routines, but today I did set the children a little challenge, stemming from our science work.  I asked the children to try to hold onto some discarded items that they might be able to re-use to create something new at home.  When they have made their new item, I said they may bring it in for a 'show and tell'.  This also reinforces our Green Team goals to re-use and re-cycle!

Thank you for your support.

Have a lovely weekend.
