The children in Year 2 had yet another busy week.
In English, we practiced writing in the first person by creating diary entries for Ravi- the main character of our class book. Later in the week, the class planned for their first big writing, where the children came up with their own characters and a behaviour that will turn them into an animal (just like in Ravi’s roar where he turns into a tiger).
In Maths, the class moved onto comparing and ordering and solved challenging missing number problems.
In History, the children looked at the details of what the astronauts did in their 2 hours on the moon in 1969 and as a preparation for a later role play, they made astronaut helmet masks.
In Science, the class finished their learning on the survival of the last vertebrate group-humans (mammals)
by looking at their basic needs from birth to adulthood. In RE, the class learnt about the Catholic Missionaries’ work in Cameroon looking after the Creation and used CAFOD resources to learn about stewardship.
In PE, we moved on to our next fundamental skill: dribbling and passing and used footballs to practice these.
Well done for Anna Maria who brought in her hand made space model as a show and tell and shared interesting facts about planets.
Next week is One World Week where year 2 will be learning about Colombia and about how CAFOD supports the communities. CAFOD’s programme in Colombia focuses on peacebuilding, protection of human rights, sustainable livelihoods, protection of the Amazon and care for our Common Home- all linked with Catholic Social Teaching principles that we are going to learn about this year.
If you have any books or memorabilia from this region, please send them in for show and tell!
Parent Consultation Evening is on Tuesday and Thursday, please make sure to book an appointment.
Have a lovely weekend,
Ms Varga
