We have had a fun and varied week in Year 2.  In English, we have been studying playscripts.  Firstly by reading through and acting out a fairy tale using a script, then writing our own, based on the story we are currently reading, How To Find Gold.  We had the writing café on Tuesday morning, it was so great to see so many parents there, looking at the way we work in English.  There were some wonderful poems written about our special people.

In maths we have been revisiting addition to secure our knowledge of adding two-digit numbers together.

On Wednesday we designed our own patterns for flags, then made the designs on polystyrene by engraving on to them using a pencil.  We then printed these on to paper and made our own flags.  On Thursday we made our own lighthouses and studied how electrical circuits work to make a light shine.

We are all really looking forward to the Royal Norfolk Show next week, just hoping the weather stays fine for us.  Please could you provide a packed lunch for your child, put in a plastic bag (to cut down the weight), in a rucksack or other bag they can carry themselves all day.

We are doing something with them during our Science lesson on Thursday and it would be great if every child had a bottle to use please. This week we have enjoyed making whale pictures in Art, using a wax resist method and then marbling the backgrounds. We also had a session of listening to dolphin and whale sounds and music and drawing abstract art and patterns. This was done in a similar style and manner to how Kandinsky likes to work. We are all enjoying reading George's Marvellous Medicine together during our snack/story time after play every day. We have also started improving our handwriting every morning, during registration. In English we all wrote instructions for how to make an egg box dragon. The children all worked on this piece of writing independently and did really
