Hello Class 2 Parents,
We have had a brilliant week in Class 2.
Firstly, tomorrow (Friday) the children will be baking some penguin shortbread biscuits as a treat for filling up their marble jar. The children earn a few marbles each time they work well as a team - for example, if everyone is ready to listen when an adult asks them, or if they line up quickly and quietly. They filled up their marble jar for the first time this academic year, and wanted to do some baking!
In our story, the children designed a suitable penguin enclosure. Initially, they decided to put our penguin visitor into the 'bird' room of the Wildlife Lost and Found offices. However, it didn't thrive and the children discovered that Adelie penguins are adapted to living in Antarctica, not the UK. With that in mind, the children designed some enclosure with ice, rocks, very cold water, wind machines and wave machines so that the penguin would feel at home.
They learnt about food chains and filled the water with fish and krill for the penguins to eat, then added algae for the fish and krill to feed off. They put windows into the enclosure so that the algae would have sunlight.
In maths we have continued work on number bonds to 10 and 20.
Year 1 homework is here and will be in their folders.
Year 2 homework is here and will be in their folders.
In phonics the children have been looking at trigraphs - air, ear and ure.
In spellings the Year 2 children have been learning that 'c' can make a soft sound before e, i and y. Their spellings are here.
Next week I will be checking the children's common exception word spellings (the cards they have in their purple homework folders). I will highlight any words they have learnt to spell over the past few weeks.
I hope you have a good weekend - I look forward to catching up with you on Tuesday or Thurdsay evening next week!
