Hello Class 2 Parents,
This week in Class 2....
The children have been rehearsing for the Harvest Festival. They did some fantastic artwork for it as well and I hope many of you will have been along to watch!
The bog babies were in danger. The B.B.P. (Bog Baby Protectors) learnt that bog baby numbers in the pond were dwindling. They took a trip down to the woods and watched as a large heron carried a bog baby away! Luckily, the team was able to rescue that particular bog baby and next week we will decide how we can further protect the bog babies from the predators in the woods, whilst also not allowing those predators to go hungry.
The children compared numbers: Year 1 were comparing and ordering numbers to 10. (eg putting the numbers 6, 3, and 9. in order 3,6,9) and started to learn how to use a number line. Year 2 children were comparing numbers to 100, learning that they should look at how many 10s a number has before looking at how many 1s it has.
Both year groups can practice ordering numbers using this game. Just alter the start and end numbers accordingly (Y1s start with up to 10 or 20, Year 2s start with numbers up to 100, and if confident go from there!)\
In phonics the children revisited the digraphs ow and oi, and the trigraph ear.
In spellings the children looked at 'oa' rhyming patterns - oat/ one/ low. The words they have been learning to spell can be found here.
In R.E. this half term the children have been learning about special places. So far they have talked about places that are special to them, and have learnt about churches, mosques and synagogues. If you see any of these buildings while you are out and about with your children, or even better, have the chance to go in to them, please do so!
At Forest School today:
The children built dens using some new, large den pegs and tarpaulins. They picked more apples, made some autumn wizard wands and learnt a new game. We were so busy, I forgot to take any photographs!
I hope you all have a good weekend - I'm looking forward to catching up with you on Monday or Thursday evening!
From
Mrs Simpson
