In year 2 this week our Muck, Mess and Mixtures topic has continued to excite us with some super learning.
Our Power of Reading book has continued and we found out that Grendel wished for lots and lots of chocolate!
In Art this week we designed our own Chocolate land to imagine what it would be like if there was chocolate everywhere! We took inspiration from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory for our creations. We then wrote descriptions of our chocolate land in English.
Grendel turned his mum to chocolate, as he wished that everything he touched turned to chocolate. He sent us a letter, distraught with what had happened, and asked us to give him some advice. We learnt about bossy verbs before writing a reply to Grendel.
In Maths we used bar models to show place value in two and three digit numbers. Miss Argyle was super impressed when the teachers shared our super bar modelling at a meeting!
We have also been learning to represent numbers in lots of different ways using concrete and pictorial representations. This has helped us to develop a sound knowledge of numbers.
In science we conducted an experiment to find out about the shape of bubbles. We made bubble wands in various shapes and sizes before testing them and observing what happens. We found out that bubbles are always round spheres no matter what shape wand we use!
We also started to learn about healthy and unhealthy food. We went on a hunt outside to collect a variety of food before designing our own healthy meal example.
Please ensure children have a named PE kit and water bottle in school.
Please could the children have their reading record and spelling books in their book bags every day as we often set daily activities and challenges where the children will need access to these books.
Have a lovely weekend,
Year 2 team
