We
have had a lovely week in Year 2 and have been very busy.
In
English this week we have been story mapping our Power of Reading story ‘The
Princess and the White Bear King’. We divided the story into chapters and began
to plan our own chapters to write. We have used our story maps to write our own
chapter with adjectives and adverbial phrases to say when and where things
happened. We have edited and improved our work ready to write up in best next
week to make our own collaborative versions of the book.
In
Maths this week we have been focussing on money. We have learnt about the
values of different coins and worked on making different amounts using the
coins. We have also focussed on adding amounts of money and finding totals.
In
Science this week we have been out on a ‘I wonder…’ walk and thought about
questions that we could investigate later in the year about plants and nature.
The teachers will use these questions later in the year to plan some exciting
science investigations.
We
have continued our work on Judaism this week and learnt about the festival of
Shabbat. We learnt about why Jewish people celebrate Shabbat and how they do
this. We also had our own Shabbat meal with bread and grape juice (blackcurrant
squash).
Next
week we will be taking part in an exciting innovate challenge to finish off our
‘Towers, Tunnels and Turrets’ topic. We would appreciate any donations of junk
for junk modelling that you may have.
In
the week beginning 11th March we will be launching our new topic ‘Street
Detectives’ with a walk around Mulbarton to explore our local community. We would appreciate any volunteers that are
able to assist us with a walk on Monday morning, we will be leaving school at
9.30am and aiming to return before lunch.
Please let your child’s teacher know if you are available to help.
