Samson’s Titanic journey!

The children have had a great week beginning to look at the story Samson’s Titanic journey! They have enjoyed finding out who left the cracker crumbs in our classroom and who nibbled the carrot.

They have been practicing their place value skills in maths by partitioning numbers in different ways and comparing them using the greater than and less than symbols ( < and  >)

Please encourage the children to practice their 3, 2, 5 and 10 ten times tables at home.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend.

Thank you so much to all the parents that helped; we really appreciate it.

Advent

The children have had a lovely week with it being the first week of Advent. They enjoyed walking to the Church and joining in with our Advent service. They also made their own Advent wreaths to understand the meaning of each candle.

The children have also been working really hard with practising for their Nativity performance next week.

In maths the children are beginning to look at place value of two digit numbers which will then move onto them adding numbers together using a number line.

Have a lovely weekend.

The children have a wonderful day designing and making their parachutes. They explored different materials before deciding on which ones would be best for their parachute.

Year 2 have a dress rehearsal on Friday 8th December. Please could all costumes be in school for then.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Story Writing!

This week the children have been writing some wonderful stories in the style of The Smartest Giant in Town.

We have also begun looking at money where the children have been making different amounts using the coins.

If the children could practise this at home with real money then that would be a great benefit to their learning.

Another fun week!

This week in year 2 we have been learning about multiplication. The children have been learning to draw arrays from repeated addition and linking it to multiplication sentences.

The children in English have been writing their plan to enable them to write their own version of The Smartest Giant in Town.

Please could the children continue practicing their 2’s, 3’s, 5’s and 10’s times tables.

Have a lovely weekend.

History Day!

The children have had a great first week back at school after half term! We have carried on with learning about fractions in maths as well as introducing our new book in English: ‘The Smartest Giant in Town’.
