Summer 1
Week 3
English
We have been learning about Malala and the Magic Pencil. We read the book and then found out that Malala wishes she could draw things that would come to live, to make the world a better place. We also found out that Malala is famous for standing up for human rights and often did speeches speaking about these issues. After we read the story, we decided to write a speech about what we would like to draw to help the world too. Everyone tried really hard and did a great job.
Geography
This week, we revised the continents of the world. We all remembered what all the continents were called. This term, we will be learning all about the oceans of the world.
Maths
This week, we have been learning about time. We all got the clocks on the carpet and learnt about o’clock, half past, quarter past and quarter to. We practiced making lots of times and we all did a fantastic job.
Have a fabulous long weekend see you next week!
Week 2
Forest School
This week, we have had a fabulous time at Forest School. We have done some lovely activities and really enjoyed ourselves. On Tuesday, we used our measuring skills to find sticks which were between 15 – 30cm long. Once we found the prefect stick, we then turned them into a magic wand. We painted them and then casted spells in the forest. We also, completed a traffic survey. We stood on the basketball courts of the old school and looked through the fence, out onto the road. We made a tally every time we saw a vehicle on our list. Then, we made block graphs with the information we had collected.
Music
This term we are learning all about being in a rock band. We listened to the Queen song, We Will Rock You, and discussed if we liked it or not. Then, we sung the song we have been learning, called I Want to be in a Band. We played the glockenspiels to it to. We focused on the notes D and C.
Computing
This week, we used the beet bots and we had to programme them to move in certain directions. We then, made them move around a certain course. After, we used the iPads and logged onto a beet bot app. Then, we had to get the beet bot to certain destinations.
History
This week, was our last lesson in history in Year 2. We learnt all about David Attenborough. We found out that he loves animals and also wants to protect the climate. He is an inspiration as we found out that he is 97 years old and still working.
Have a fabulous weekend see you next week!
