This week, in year 2, we have
been continuing our time work by solving time problems, for example: ‘Tom left
the castle at half past 2. It took him an hour and a half to walk home. What
time did he get home?” We also played a pairs game to help us remember how many
minutes are in an hour, hours in a day, days in a week, etc. At the end of the
week we looked at number patterns, worked out the rule, and applied it to
continue the sequence.
In English we made a map to show
the princess’ journey from the palace to the castle. Children worked in pairs
to create maps showing the Norwegian features, such a ‘thickly needled pine
forest’, ‘frozen lakes’ and ‘bride-white snow’. They then used these maps to
help them write a set directions using adjectives, similes and alliteration.
In topic we have looked at how
animals are adapted to cold climates and had a go at designing our own animal
with winter features. We also looked at towers from around the world and
located these on a world map.
For those of you that have children
in sharks (18 of them) that are doing the dance show case, we look forward to
seeing you at the show on Wednesday. Remember your child will need collecting
from the Open venue at 8:50pm. Please ensure they have their costume for the
show ready to take with them, a packed tea (if you have not ordered, and paid
for, a burger), plus snacks and a drink to keep them going!
