Hello Class 2 Parents,
This week has been all about respect. The Class 4 Anti-Bullying Ambassadors
have led the school in a week focussed on respecting differences and treating everyone with kindness.
The children have:
* made a handprint rainbow
* dressed up in different colours
* decorated cupcakes in rainbow colours
* made a class poster about being unique and treating each other with kindness
* taking part in a kindness challenge
It's been a very busy but very good week.
We have defined respect as treating everyone as you would like to be treated and treating everybody as equally important.
Aside from that...
In writing the children finished writing their set of instructions for 'How to Relocate a Penguin'. At some point, we will be carrying out these instructions in our story to see if they work.
In maths the children have looked at near doubles (such as 4 + 5) and also at adding three numbers. The Year 2 children focussed on adding the three numbers in a logical order, for example, the numbers 4 3 and 6 are best added as 4+6 (10) then add 3.
Year 1 maths homework is here and will be in their folders.
You will need three dice for this homework. If you don't have any, you can use the interactive ones here. Click on the settings cog to increase the number of dice.
Year 2 maths homework is here and will be in their folders.
In phonics the children have been reading longer words with consonant blends - such as trunk, twist, drink.
In spellings the Year 2 children have been learning that while some words end in -le, other words end in -el.
The Year 2 spellings are here.
We also started a two-week history topic on Ernest Shackleton. So far, the children have heard the story of the failed expedition aboard the Endurance and have also compared modern-day expedition equipment with equipment from the early 1900s.
Here are the children listening to some of the Anti-Bullying Ambassadors lead a discussion about the meaning of 'respect'.
Have a good weekend!
Mrs Simpson
