What a week Year 2! It has certainly whizzed past with the amount of learning we have got through!
In RHE we continued to think about ourselves this week, with us paying particular attention to our body parts. It was so lovely to hear the children celebrating their favourite body parts and giving reasons as to why. Amongst others, the children were grateful for their legs for running, their eyes for seeing and their hands for making!
In Maths we have learned about adding and subtracting 10s to 2 digit numbers. We began by using the concrete apparatus to help us and then looked at other more efficient ways of calculating the answer. This is such an important skill to have and will help tremendously as we move onto trickier calculations next week.
Science was all about the heart this week as we learned all about the importance of exercise. After a few worried looks after some children were unable to find their pulses when resting, all of the class managed to locate theirs after completing different exercises. We discussed what happened to our pulse after carrying out the different exercises and why we think this happens. We really do have a class of enthusiastic and curious scientists! Great work Year 2!
We had a wonderful RE lesson reading a story called ‘I Wonder’ together. In this story a little girl asked many questions about the world in which we live. This then got us thinking - what questions do we have about the world that are sometimes tricky to answer? The children got thinking and then wrote their questions down for our ‘I wonder’ display board in class. Throughout next term we will continue to revisit this board to see if any of the children can have a go at answering each other’s questions.
