The children in Year 2 had a busy week with a focus on rehearsals for our Nativity production later in December.
In English, the class completed their third big write, a letter of complaint as a classroom item- such as a sharpener, a rubber or the carpet- giving reasons for their upset, using conjunctions and apostrophes for contractions. They also published these pieces in neat.
In Maths we moved on and later consolidated our second addition strategy- Think 10. In applying this strategy, the children rewrite complex number sentences as simpler ones by forming a number bond to 10. E.g.: 8+7 can be re-written as 10+5.
In RE, we looked at Luke’s Gospel of the Annunciation and Visitation and used image prompts to identify the characters, setting and plot. The class also made Advent promises, reflecting on their Advent journey of mission whilst also produced stained glass pictures to add to our display.
The class also enjoyed 2 art activities related to our Geography topic: Antarctica. First, they used a video tutorial to sketch and colour in Emperor penguins, whilst later in the week, they also used clay to create 3D models of these remarkable animals.
Please, remember to bring in hamper items (check class colour in the newsletter) and please check that you have given consent for our class trip, next Thursday, 5th December 2024. Please also remember to order a school packed lunch if needed in time.
Have a lovely weekend,
