Year 2 Weekly Blog 14th July -
Zoo Trip Monday 17th July
On Monday we will be visiting Blackpool Zoo, children may wear their own clothes but please ensure your child wears comfortable shoes or trainers. We will be doing a lot of walking. The weather forecast isn’t looking great, all children will need to bring a waterproof coat or jacket and a small rucksack to carry their own lunch and drink in. Please ensure your child has had suncream applied before school.
In Geography this week, Bobby Bee visited Kenya. The children used their research and computing skills to make concept maps all about animal that live in Kenya. In computing this half term we have been learning how information can be presented, We’ve looked at Ebooks, quizzes, concept maps and fact files. The children have been confidently using these skills across the curriculum.
This week we finished our class novel - The Folk of the Faraway Tree. The children have loved this book, getting lost in magical lands with Saucepan and Silky! The children have even designed their own magical lands that they would like to see at the top of the tree.
We have come to the end of our Aladdin topic in English, the children have written some fantastic pieces of work - poems, descriptions of magic carpet rides and wonderous caves as well as persuasive pieces.
In Maths we have been been looking at halving numbers, investigating odd and even numbers and writing equations.
On Tuesday Year 1 joined us to practise the Hymns we will be singing at church next week. I was so proud of the super example the children set, we have some fantastic singers in our class.
On Thursday, half of the class visited Ashton Gardens with their year 4 buddies, to try their hand at Crown Green Bowling. We had a great morning, playing games to develop skills need to play bowls.
