Welcome to Year 2!

What have we been learning about?

In English this week we completed our final writing unit! We decided to write an information booklet all about Madagascar because we have learnt lots about this amazing country and wanted to share our knowledge with people. We used descriptive language, conjunctions and questions to share what we had found out. 

In maths we completed our final two units- statistics and geometry (position and direction). We learnt to extract data from graphs, tables and charts and even made our own class tally chart (for our eye colours) and bar graph (to see what different pets we all had). 

In reading, we have continued to read the story 'Lots of Diversity on Life on Earth'. This fits in very well with our Big Picture topic (Our Wonderful World) as it discuss lots of different animals and have beautiful illustrations. We can't wait to read more of this book next week!

In topic, we finished our Geography and History blocks. Geography was all about Madagascar and in History we learnt about the life and work of Sir David Attenborough. We compared his childhood to children's lives now and found out why he is a significant individual. We also compared and contrasted the UK and Madagascar- looking at the flora and fauna in both areas of the world. 

Morning Snacks:

During the morning, children are welcome to have a snack. We always have fresh fruit/ vegetables available for children but if you would rather send your child in with their own snack from home this is absolutely fine. However, may I please request that this is a healthy morning snack as opposed to crisps, chocolate biscuits etc. Thank you for your support!
