In class this week we have been discussing how families are all different.
We looked at pictures of some families with a mum and dad. Some families with 2 mums or 2 dads. We looked at families with 1 parent and how some families are grand parents or aunts and uncles. We found out there are lots of ways a family can live together.
We got to talk about our own families and who we live with.
It was great to find out not all of our families are the same!
We have been learning about microhabitats in Science this week. After finding out what a microhabitat was, we went into the school grounds to look for living things.
We used magnifying glasses and our IPADs then drew what we had found in our books.
In year one we have been learning all about jumping! We have experimented with different ways we can jump. We discovered that to jump high we need our knees bent and our arms by our side then stretched out. We then tried jumping with one leg…we did not go as high!!
We practised jumping around the space, controlling our direction using our spatial awareness (so we did not bump into each other). After that we tried to do a synchronised jump…
After that, we finally put our new jumping skills to the test to play some fun games. Well done year one. We can’t wait to develop our skills next week.
Year 2 have been learning new signifiers for ‘The Night Pirates.’ They are doing a fabulous job on day 1!
Year 2 have been learning how to jump effectively in our topic about locomotion.
Year 2 have been learning about the continents and oceans this week in relation to the Equator. We can locate all of the continents and oceans and name them from largest to smallest.
In Year 2, we have been creating images of the sky in the style of John Ward. We used chalk pastels to blend different colours!
Year 2 have been looking at the poem ‘I Wish I Was a Pirate’ by Tony Bradman. We learned signifiers for the poem and the performed our poem to the rest class.
We are now going to write our own pirate poems based on Bradman’s poem.
Year 2 have started a new Science Topic; ‘Living Things and Their Habitats.’ First of all we learned what a habitat was and then we looked at a Polar Habitat, River Habitat, Ocean Habitat and a Forest Habitat. After that we sorted animals into the correct habitats!
Y2 used chalk pastels to create calm sea backgrounds inspired by John Ward in Art this afternoon.
