Term 3

 

Please take a look at the exciting Curriculum map below to give you an overview of your children's learning this term.

Year 2 enjoyed a special treat of Forest School Activities with Mrs Parker as they won attendance award 2 weeks in a row !!!!!!! They enjoyed making a picture frame from twigs and then they created a natural picture to fit inside using found objects. They also made their own names using twigs and sticks before finally finding the knots on the wooden shed to make a chalk picture.

This week in English we have been making a tree using twigs and a lolly stick. We used instructions to make our trees and then used this to create our own sets of instructions.

We wrote instructions to make a tree. Our friends gave us feedback to support our editing.

During Maths this week we have been working with money. We have been recognising coins, finding amounts and choosing coins we need to make amounts. In these pictures we are choosing coins to make an amount!

We enjoyed giving our friends instructions as we pretended to be robots during Computing. We are learning about algorithms and how to programme computers.

We were very lucky to have an Orchestra come to our school this week. They showed us their instruments and played us some beautiful music. Filip was chosen to be the conductor and did a fabulous job.

"We're going on a mini beast hunt, we're gonna find some big ones, what a beautiful day, we're not scared!"

The children have been looking for mini beasts in their micro habitats during their Science lesson. 

During our IT lesson we thought about technology inside  and outside. The children made a list of all the items they could think of. They then discussed if they thought all jobs included using IT. The children discovered that nowadays, mostly all jobs use IT. 

In Maths we have used place value charts to partition our tens and ones. 

We are very excited to be reading Glass slipper, Gold Sandal in English.

It was so much fun exploring the story sack and having an opportunity to look at all of the items inside. 

In Year 2, we have been understanding nouns. We looked around the classroom and named all of the nouns we could find.
