Christmas has arrived and it is looking particularly festive in the Year 2 classrooms. To continue with the festive theme, we have started to look at Meerkat Christmas. The children will be using the adventures of Sunny to write diary entries. The children’s writing has got better and better as the week has progressed.
In maths, we have continued to explore worded problems that involve adding amounts together and taking away to give change. When solving problems there are a lot of things to get your head around, from understanding what the problem is asking, choosing the correct operation, then deciding on the best method to use before actually solving it. We have also been using scales and rulers to measure weight and length. We had fun comparing weights and lengths of various things in the classroom. We have been very impressed with the children this week. Keep up the good work Year 2.
This week in science, we completed our microhabitats by adding interesting facts around our shoeboxes to teach others. Below are a few of the facts we researched and then wrote in our own words!
We are starting to have fun with Christmas activities and are looking forward to a fun and festive week next week.
Tuesday – Panto
Wednesday – Christmas lunch (children can bring a Christmas jumper and/or headband if they like)
Thursday – Year 2 Concert, at 9a.m (Christmas head gear encouraged!) It would be great if the children could have a little practice of this song at home…. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57vrqCENNPc
Have a lovely weekend.
Best wishes
The Year 2 Team
