In English, we have been writing descriptive stories about pirates! Our stories have really come together and we have produced some amazing writing. Have a look in our English books during soft start if you would like to read them.
Ordering and comparing different measures has been our maths focus this week. On Monday we explored length. Using a ruler, we measured different lengths of paper before ordering them. We then created our own mathematical statements.
In R.E this week, we listened to the Hindu story of Rama and Sita. We enjoyed role-playing the story and ordering the events. We have considered why this story is important to Hindu people and how it is linked to the celebration of Diwali.
Art has seen some beautiful giant floor leaf drawings. We worked in pairs to create a composition on the page. We used charcoal for the first time. We listened to music whilst drawing and had a very peaceful, creative time.
Scarlet class have brought home a sponsorship form for you to pass around to family or friends. They want to raise a few pennies for tree planting in the Caledonian Forest as we have been learning about the effects of deforestation. As a class we decided we would like to do a sponsored run. We will do the run next week, before half term. https://treesforlife.org.uk/groves/193000/
Have a great weekend.
Best wishes
The Year 2 Team
