Hello Class 2 Parents,
It's been a fairly ordinary but good week in Class 2.
Following our walk around the village last week and some work on the differences between villages, towns and cities, the children did some work making a map of the village including the key geographical features. Friday afternoon then started with, 'Let's say we are in Little Houghton, but it is 1000 years ago.' The children learnt a bit about what a medieval village might look like, comparing its features to modern Little houghton. They created a 3D map as a class, locating the features around a village green.
In maths:
The Year 1 children have continued their work on place value to 20, learning how to find 1 more and 1 less than any number to 20. They used the words 'before' and 'after' to describe numbers on a number line, for example '18 comes before 19' and '13 comes after 12'. They also looked at numbers to 100 to understand where 0 to 20 come, and completed some 100-square jigsaw puzzles.
The Year 2 children have finished their unit of work on addition and subtraction by learning how to add and subtract multiples of 10 using a 100- square.
Year 1 homework is here and is also in their folders.
Year 2 homework is here and is also in their folders.
In phonics the Year 1 children have been looking at alternative 'oo' graphemes - ue, ew and u_e. These can be pronounced 'oo' as in June, blue, threw, or 'yoo' as in few, rescue, tune.
In spellings the Year 2 children have looked at words starting wr - I have set the list as an assignment on The Spelling Shed as usual for them to practise in their own time.
At Forest School:
It was lovely to be back at Forest School after quite a few weeks away. The children enjoyed a fire and some of them had a go at whittling sticks to a point (using vegetable peelers) ready to toast marshmallows next week (hopefully, weather depending!). They also had a great time creating a giant obstacle course - lots of core strength development and turn taking went on!
