Happy bank holiday weekend!
We have had a fun and varied week this week in Year 2.
In English we finished our story about Claude in the City, and discovered how he saved the day curing lots of sick people with a cup of tea and a biscuit. We then created story boards to retell the story in our own ways. At the end of the week we planned our own version of the story.
In maths we have been looking at creating graphs to represent different kinds of data. We started off creating pictograms showing how our class got to school, moving on to making bar charts about our favourite sports. Then reinforcing our knowledge about these.
For science we explored the school looking at different plants and trees, trying to recognise them by their leaves and flowers. We discovered that we have a huge variety of wildlife just in the school, getting excited about the variety of colours that will be out when summer finally arrives.
For our history lesson we looked at how technology has changed in the home from the 1950s up to now. We looked at how small the televisions were in comparison, and that they used to have to get up to change the between the two or three channels!! We also looked at technology in the kitchen and discovered they didn’t have microwaves!
On a personal note, may I say just how much I have enjoyed teaching this wonderful group of students. There hasn't been a day gone past without them all making me laugh and smile, and constantly impressed with their creativity, focus, application and love of learning (not to mention their wonderful singing!)
Don't forget not to come to school on Monday, see you all on Tuesday.
