Hello Year 2, where has the sun gone!

In science the children thoroughly enjoyed creating their bug hotels which they dispersed around both playgrounds. They were very sensible and explored habitats in the playground and wild life area using a magnifying glass. The children were very excited by the minibeasts that they found and completed a tally chart and pictogram survey. We explored outside during a sunny ,dry day and then a wet, damp day and compared our findings.

In English, the children wrote a fun explanation on how to look after a monster. They included conjunctions, adjectives and apostrophes in their writing.

In maths, the children enjoyed learning the names and properties of 2D and 3D shapes.

Next week

Wishing you a great weekend, I hope the sun hurries up and returns!
