Weekly News

We have had a fun and busy week in year 2.

In English we were looking at facts about crocodiles and making factual posters showing what we had discovered and what we already knew. We found out some very interesting things, such as they have up to 64 teeth. That must take a very long time to clean each evening before bed!

In maths we were looking at money, specifically giving change. We realised that it is the same as subtraction, so used our chips and peas method. We then used coins to give the correct change for items bought in our year 2 shops.

We have also looked at what made Grace Darling such a brave girl. She lived in the Victorian era, and, when a young girl, saved nine lives by rowing out in the stormy North Sea after a boat had crashed on to the rocks near her father’s lighthouse.

The highlight of the week for many of us was going to the Royal Norfolk Show on Thursday. This was an amazing event and gave us all the chance to experience something new: from watching dancing sheep to seeing pig racing, from climbing on board an army tank to sitting behind the wheel of a police river boat, and many other things. It was a fun-filled day for the children and the adults. Thank you to all our parent helpers.
