Money, money, money!

 We have loved exploring the coins this week as we begin to develop our understanding of money. 

Today we practised making given amounts with the coins and we saw how many different ways we could make an amount!

We have loved exploring clay this afternoon! After watching a video of a potter making a vase on a potter’s wheel, we explored how we can use clay with our hands.

We rolled balls and snakes with our hands. We practised squeezing and pulling and pinching the clay. We smoothed our clay and attempted to join pieces together. We explored how water can help us do this!

 

The Great Science Share

 We have loved finding out about renewable energy today as part of our learning about climate change.

We followed the instructions carefully to make our own wind turbine and we enjoyed seeing them in action!

Super sandwiches!

 The children at home enjoyed making their sandwiches too! 

Super sandwiches!

 We loved planning and making a healthy sandwiches. When planning, we thought carefully about the different food groups and made a balanced sandwich. 

What would you put in a healthy sandwich? 

Who eats who?

 Year 2 have been learning about herbivores, carnivores and omnivores and looking at who eats who. Can you tell who eats who by looking at our food chains? 

Continents and Oceans

 The Year 2 bubble have enjoyed using atlases to find the 7 continents and 5 oceans. 

We then used cut and stick to make our own maps. 

Do you know the names of the 7 continents and 5 oceans? 

Learning about our amazing world with Craig Richardson

The children in Year 2 were very lucky on Monday as they all had the opportunity to join Craig Richardson via Zoom to hear all about his adventures, which have spanned 3 continents.  The children loved hearing about his adventures and asked some amazing questions.  

Craig, who is a teacher at a local secondary school, was also very impressed with the children's knowledge of the world.  

Take a look at the photos and see if your children can tell you some of the facts that they learnt.

 

Making groups

 The children have been working hard in school to make equal and unequal groups. The children have used manipulatives to gain a concrete understanding. 

Home Learning

 Thank you for sharing your super work with me, it is lovely to see lots of the children working hard at home.
