Miss Stathers’ Maths class have been learning to add a 2 digit number and a 1 digit number. On Thursday we were solving problems for the workers in the theater.
We had to read the question, work out what the question was asking and then choose a method to find the answer.
Our new text in Year 2 is ‘The Jolly Postman’. In this unit we will be learning to write letters. This week we have been looking at a range of letters and identifying the features. Next week we will be thinking of questions to ask the characters in the story and writing our own letters to them.
Year 2 have been learning about why we wear poppies this week. They have learned about what happens on Remembrance Sunday and looked at the poem In Flanders Field. Today we held a minutes silence to remember the soldiers that fought in the war.
To end our unit on Sense Poetry, Year 2 performed for the rest of the of the school in assembly on Wednesday.
They performed a poem learned by heart with signifiers. Then the children read aloud their popcorn poems.
It was fantastic!
This week Year 2 have been investigating what happens to our heart when we exercise. We did a variety of different exercises and the monitored what happened to our heart rate.
We found out that our heart beat gets faster when we exercise.
Year 2 are learning about sense poetry. First we learned a poem using signifiers.
Then we looked at the features of a sense poem.
On Thursday we used our senses to describe popcorn and then wrote our own poems!
Next week we will be performing our poems!
Today was our first reading club in Year 2. We had lots of fun playing on Teach Your Monster to Read. We can’t wait for next Friday lunchtime!
This week our parents and carers joined us for a ‘Come and Read’ session. We showed them our comprehension skills and they were amazed! Thank you parents and carers for your continued support.
In topic this week Year 2 have been painting self portraits. They really focused on their features and thought about which colours they needed to use. Do you like them?
On Wednesday we then wrote instructions for how to paint a self portrait.
In English Year 2 are looking at the text ‘The Singing Mermaid’. So far they have learned the story using signifiers and created story maps. They acted out the story on our stage in the theater! There was some fabulous acting!
