Week 4:

 Hello Class 2 Parents,

I hope this blog finds you all well! What a wild week for weather - it's been so good to end it with some sun and some time outside. 

The week in Class 2...

Firstly - harvest words!

The children have some lines to learn for our harvest story. Please help them to learn them this week - they are in their homework folders. 

Drawing club. 
The children watched Pip, a trainee guide dog and did some writing around him and his adventures. It's a lovely animation - you can see it here. 

Maths.
We've been looking at number lines this week - placing numbers in their correct place, and estimating where numbers might be if the number line is blank. The children need a good knowledge of numbers to 20 for this!

Their maths homework is this game -  go to the image of the game, press 'play', then:

*Year 1s, start with a 0-10 number line and try the 0-20 line if you like!
* Year 2s, attempt the 0-20 number line. 
* Move the red flag to the position of the given number
* Press 'check' to see whether you are correct!

Choose whether to collect points or not. 

Our story.
The Lost and Found offices have been busy with animals coming in and out. The children learnt how to identify whether a creature is alive or dead, and then we went further to look at things that have never been alive. The children also learnt what creatures need in order to stay alive (air, water, food and shelter). This helped them in their roles looking after animals in the Lost and Found offices. 

Phonics and spellings. 

In Phonics the children have been revisiting  or, ur and ow. They have been reading and writing words with these sounds in. 

In Spellings the Year 2 children have learnt that  ge  makes the 'j' sound at the end of a word, after anything that is not a short vowel. Their spellings are here and will be tested in their yellow books next Friday!

I think that is everything for now - have a good weekend!
