Hello Class 2 Parents,
This week in Class 2...
The children have started to publish their information books on Nile crocodiles. They've spent the last couple of weeks planning the text using features of a non-fiction text, and now they are putting words and pictures together to make a book. They are thoroughly enjoying the process.
In maths, our work on fractions continues. The Year 1 children have now been taught how to find a half or a quarter of a shape or quantity, while the Year 2 children have done all of that, plus finding one third of a shape or quantity.
Year 1 homework is here and will be in their folders.
Year 2 homework is here and will be in their folders.
On Tuesday the whole school took part in a morning on our school vision ('flourish like a flower of the field' throough growth, community, spirituality and the environment). Class 2 was given 'growth' to discuss so we did a little bit of work on what that meant, and on the meaning of 'potential'. We had a great discussion about what the children want to be when they are older - everything from a firefighter, to a hairdresser, to an artist, a gardener and a zoologist! We worked on our section of the whole-school display by making colourful flowers and leaves.
For the past few weeks the children have been learning some basic tennis skills in P.E. They are thoroughly enjoying this so if you have a ball and a racquet at home, ask if you can see what your child has learnt!
In our story, the children are in the middle of solving a problem. Somewhere in the Maasai Mara, some children are playing on the edge of a watering hole. What they don't know is that there is a large, hungry crocodile lurking nearby...
I'll keep you posted.
I think that's all for now. Have a good weekend!
Mrs Simpson
