Good afternoon all, it has been a busy, fun week.
In maths, the children learnt pictograms, tally charts, tables and totalling and comparing amounts in block graphs. The children discussed the graphs in detail and asked and answered questions to consolidate their learning.
Next week, the children will be applying their increasing knowledge of mental and written methods by using place value and number facts to solve problems with addition and subtraction.
In English the children role played the story of ‘The Three Billy Goats Gruff‘ using recurring language, we also discussed the punctuation in the story. They created a detailed storyboard and sequenced the story.
Next week, the children will start to write their own version of ‘The Three Billy Goats Gruff’. They will change the characters and repeated phrases and they will include commas and exclamation marks. We will also discuss speech marks to use in their recurring sentences.
In history we started our new topic on ‘The Great Fire of London’ and the children are really enjoying learning about London and when are where is started.
Next week, the children will be learning the events of the Great Fire of London.
In art, the children practised drawing detailed insects for our class display.
In science, we discussed how animals and humans change as they grow. Next week, the children will describe and drew a picture of the process.
The children have brought home a leaflet giving ideas for the costume the children can wear on our Great Fire of London workshop on the 8th February. Please do not worry if you do not have anything, you do not need to buy a costume.
Have a great weekend
From the Year 2 team.
