This week, in English we did some role play, where the children explored an illustration of Anna and Crocodile swimming underwater in their search for gold. They worked in groups to make their own freeze-frame of their favourite part of the illustration. They then acted these out and performed to the class. Later in the week the children worked in groups of 3 to create their own underwater scene using watercolour. They thought about what they would see underwater and had some amazing ideas. In English, they then used their paintings to write a diary entry, about their ‘underwater adventure.’

In geography the children learnt about the five oceans of the world. We sang a lovely song to help us remember called ‘There are 5’. In History the children learnt the names and facts of ten famous sea explorers. They worked together to make a timeline of their lives.

In maths the children have been learning about capacity and have been measuring liquid in ml using different size containers. We began by reading scales and then had a practical lesson where we used the containers. To measure out certain amounts.
We have been so impressed with the wonderful home learning the children have produced this term, there have been some amazing treasure chest, so much thought and effort put in to these.

The children have been practicing their pirate dance ready to show at the summer fair this Friday. We look forward to seeing many of you there.

Please remember our writing café is on Tuesday morning in the upper school hall at 9:00am, please remember to send in a photograph on Monday if possible.
Could you please save all empty toilet roll or kitchen roll tubes and send in for a piece of artwork we will shortly be doing?  Many thanks

Have a great weekend- the year 2 team.
