Although the week has been short and sunny, the children in Year 2 covered a lot.
In English, we carried on in our ‘Zahra’ (narrative) learning editing and improving our retelling, before looking at statements and exclamations. We also looked at expanded noun phrases to describe the setting.
In Maths, we read scales to measure mass in kg, as well as, measure capacity and volume. Next week, we are moving on to fractions.
In Geography, we finished our unit on Kampong Ayer, where we considered the differences in transport and schooling with the UK. The children made paper boats as part of their learning, coming up with design elements that would support their daily lives if they lived in Asia.
In PE, the class continued their unit of Play ground games led by Mr Moretti.
In Science, the children continued their new unit of ‘Living things and their habitat’ by going for a walk around our grounds and classifying their findings as ‘living, once alive and never alive’.
In Computing, the children started their new unit of programming, looking at instructions (algorithms) and programming Floor robots (Beebots).
Please remember, swimming starts next week Wednesday! Please ensure that the children have a named swimming bag and that their uniform is clearly labelled so there won’t be any confusion in the changing rooms. Tuesday remains a PE day, please make sure the children come to school in their PE kit.
On Thursday, we will celebrate VE day and therefore the children can come wearing red, blue and white colours.
On Friday, we will participate in the May Procession– please check the School Gateway tab for that or bring in a blossom, piece of flower. Parents are welcome!
Have a lovely weekend,
Ms Varga
