We have had another lovely week in Year 2 and the children have worked really hard.

We have done some fantastic work in English all about chocolate. We listened to Michael Rosen’s poem called ‘Chocolate’ and began thinking of our own ideas for a poem about chocolate. We each held a chocolate button in our hands and thought about how to describe it using our five senses. We even got to eat the melted chocolate! We then worked collaboratively in our colour groups to write a poem. We thought of some wonderful ideas and were really proud of our work.

In Maths we have been practising counting in 2’s, 5’s and 10’s and have begun to learn how to count in 3’s. We played an excellent game using our counting skills. We have been practising our Maths skills in a new whole class activity called ‘Fast Maths’ which we are loving.

In our topic work this week we have carried out lots of exciting activities. We created some Carl Warner landscapes using pictures of food from magazines which look brilliant. In Science we carried out an investigation into what happens when we put ice cubes into baby oil and let them melt. We thought about the scientific skills of predicting and observing changes over time.

We are looking forward to our trip to the synagogue next week. Please make sure you have handed in the permission slip.

Please could we remind you that children need their spelling books in school each day as we often have daily activities involving practising spellings.

Have a lovely weekend,

The Year 2 team
