We hope you are enjoying some of the learning activities that we have been publishing. Don't forget you can leave a comment under each blog post to share what you have been doing. We would love to hear about your home learning :)
This week, in year 2, we have been continuing our time work by solving time problems, for example: ‘Tom left the castle at half past 2. It took him an hour and a half to walk home. What time did he get home?” We also played a pairs game to help us remember how many minutes are in an hour, hours in a day, days in a week, etc. At the end of the week we looked at number patterns, worked out the rule, and applied it to continue the sequence. In English we made a map to show the princess’ journey from the palace to the castle. Children worked in pairs to create maps showing the Norwegian features, such a ‘thickly needled pine forest’, ‘frozen lakes’ and ‘bride-white snow’. They then used these maps to help them write a set directions using adjectives, similes and alliteration. In topic we have looked at how animals are adapted to cold climates and had a go at designing our own animal with winter features. We also looked at towers from around the world and located these on a world map....
Dear Parents, We've had a lovely week continuing with our exciting topic. We made our own mixtures in science. We observed carefully and used scientific voacubulary to describe what happenened when we mixed water with food colouring, glitter, cooking oil and Alka seltzer. In maths we were adding with our 'chips and peas' (tens and ones). In English we have been practising our neat joined handwriting. We have also Predicted what might happen next in our class book and written our own versions. We finished our whale and dolophin collages in Art this week and the children created some fantastic pictures. The children enjoyed thinking about how we are all different and alol special today, as part of 'Mental Awareness' day. Have a lovely weekend.
We showed this to Ivie, who had her birthday on 29th and she loved it.
