Year 2 have been real Creative Kiki Chameleons during our English sessions this week. We have been writing our own ‘Great Fairy Tale Disaster’ stories by choosing our own fairy tale characters, settings and magic objects that cause the wolf to get in all sorts of trouble. We’ve learnt about how to use adjectives, exclamation marks and time words correctly in our sentences before then using all of these skills to write our stories. The children have worked so hard on their stories, we might even see if we can read some of them to children in Year 1 and Reception.
In maths we’ve continued to work on difference - identifying pairs of numbers that have the same difference. We’ve also looked at how we can describe where number sit on a number line using language like mid -point, middle, before, after and between.
During indoor PE, we thought about how the sea moved and how we replicate these movements with our bodies. We had some fantastic rolling and crashing waves.
The children enjoyed hearing the story of Jairus’ daughter in RE, then put put the story in order and retold in their own words.
Our ICT lesson saw us producing some fantastic binary trees to sort living things, I was really impressed with the questions the children came up with. This has also linked in with our Science work on ‘Living things and their habitats’ - in this weeks lesson we thought about how we knew a living thing was alive and talked about the 7 characteristics all living things have. Ask your children about MRS GREN!
