Big Cats
In English Year 2 have been writing non-chronological reports about leopards and tigers. There were lots of features to include! Reception created captions about tigers using their amazing phonics skills for spelling! Well done Class 1!
Hot Cross Buns!
In RE this week we looked at the symbolism of hot cross buns and why they are eaten at Easter. We could not resist a taste test too! Delicious!
What do animals need to survive?
In Science this week we discussed what animals and humans need to survive. We created information posters about Giant Pandas. Reception thought about pets and how they need to be looked after.
Team Building
Our PE this term is all about team building! Today we played a variety of games and worked through challenges. We had to solve problems, share ideas, listen to each other and work together!
Creating texture
We have been busy creating texture tiles using paint and a range of materials. Next week we will put them together to create collages.
Pass the parcel
We played pass the parcel with a twist - each layer had a picture from The Easter story and we used them to retell the story in the correct order. This really helped us to make sense of main events and understand why it is so important for Christians.
Features of a non-chronological report
We have been identifying features of non-chronological reports so that we can create our own about lions, tigers and leopards!
World Book Day
We celebrated World Book Day in style with lots of amazing costumes! Parents joined us too for Rock up and Read!
Length and height
Our maths topic this week has been length and height. We have completed lots of practical activities and used vocabulary such as longer, taller and shorter to compare measures. Year 2 completed some accurate measuring with a ruler and estimated length in metres.
Life in colour
A busy afternoon exploring and mixing colours! We created colour wheels by mixing primary colours. We gradually added black and white to create shades and tints.
Safari camp
Inspired by Tinga Tales from Africa, we have a safari camp role play area! Everyone loves camping in the tent, using the maps, binoculars and props. Lots of opportunities for imaginative play!
Safer Internet Day
For Safer Internet Day we looked at spotting scams and how to play online games safely. We helped Digi-duck make the right choices! We also explored how to create safe passwords and followed a recipe to make our own!
