In our science lessons in the past two weeks we have been identifying, sorting and classifying everyday materials. We also did an experiment to find out which materials would attract a magnet, which were transparent or translucent, which could be twisted or squashed and which would float.
Over the past two weeks in Year 2 we have been designing and making lighthouses in our Design and Technology lessons. We first of all mapped out our designs on paper. We used our measuring skills to accurately create identical stripes to go around our lighthouses. We used paint, newspaper and tissue paper to create the rocks and base of our lighthouses after they were secured with masking tape.
This morning we read poems from our class text, The First Book Of The Sea. We discussed what we liked about the poems we chose and performed them to each other. What do you think?
As part of our whole school focus week on India we have been using maps to answer questions. We found out about which continent India is part of and which countries border India. We also found out about the names of rivers, hills and mountain ranges in India.
Today we have been learning how to add two 2 digit numbers which includes crossing a ten.
In our science lesson today we have been finding out about the different ways in which living things may reproduce. We found out that some living things have babies which are born as live young which look like their parent, some hatch out of eggs and look like their parent and some hatch out of eggs but do not look like their parent. We sorted the living things into groups.
Our challenge activity was to create a glossary of terms we have been using to discuss living things and their babies. We had to correctly match the key words and their meaning.
This week we have been finding out about what bullying might look like and trying to think of ways in which we can help to stop it. We made posters to create a book about bullying and the positive steps we can take to make sure that bullying does not happen to us or our friends.
In PSHE we looked at what bullying is and what we should do if we feel we are being bullied. We made our own pop-up book to display in our classroom to remind us to show kindness to each other.
What a fun start to the morning as we support Children in Need! Thank you for your support.
What fantastic characterization in Year 2! We got into the role of the characters from our story, The Whale Song. It was fantastic to see a gentle Grandmother, a grumpy Uncle Frederick and an adventurous Lilly.
