We have had a lovely week in Year
2 and have been very busy.
In English this week we have been
story mapping our Power of Reading story ‘The Princess and the White Bear
King’. We divided the story into chapters and began to plan our own chapters to
write. We have used our story maps to write our own chapter with adjectives and
adverbial phrases to say when and where things happened. We have edited and
improved our work ready to write up in best next week to make our own
collaborative versions of the book.
In Maths this week we have been
focussing on money. We have learnt about the values of different coins and
worked on making different amounts using the coins. We have also focussed on
adding amounts of money and finding totals.
In Science this week we have been
out on a ‘I wonder…’ walk and thought about questions that we could investigate
later in the year about plants and nature. The teachers will use these
questions later in the year to plan some exciting science investigations.
We have continued our work on
Judaism this week and learnt about the festival of Shabbat. We learnt about why
Jewish people celebrate Shabbat and how they do this. We also had our own
Shabbat meal with bread and grape juice (blackcurrant squash).
Next week we will be taking part
in an exciting innovate challenge to finish off our ‘Towers, Tunnels and
Turrets’ topic. We would appreciate any donations of junk for junk modelling
that you may have.
In the week beginning 11th
March we will be launching our new topic ‘Street Detectives’ with a walk around
Mulbarton to explore our local community.
We would appreciate any volunteers that are able to assist us with a
walk on Monday morning, we will be leaving school at 9.30am and aiming to
return before lunch. Please let your
child’s teacher know if you are available to help.
