Sharing Learning with Red Class

Today we paired up with Red Class to share our learning. We told them our Goldilocks story and they read their Billy Goats Gruff stories to us and showed us all of the amazing work in their topic books. Thank you Red Class.

Beanstalk Homework

Lots of children brought in beanstalks that they had made for their home learning today. Great timing as next week we start our Jack and the Beanstalk learning at school. What did you use to make your beanstalk? 

Another week of 100%

Well done on another week of 100% attendance Lilac Class! We need to work on our assembly cheer though... 

The Pied Piper

Next week we are going to start to learn about the Pied Piper. Can you find out who he is and what he has done?

Home Learning that made us go WOW!

This week in Turquoise Class, we have worked in groups to share our home learning and the end we voted for the home learning that we enjoyed seeing the most. Thank you to all the adults that have helped us this week!

The Butterfly Lion

We are reading The Butterfly Lion by Michael Morpugo. So far in the story a little boy has ran away from school and met an old woman. He keeps seeing a butterfly lion on the hillside. In reading time, we predicted the next part of the story.

George- I think they will go to Africa and the butterfly lion will follow them.

Cayden- I think the lion will get in trouble.

Evie- I think the lion will leave them.

Ted- I think the lion will need help.

When we read the next chapter next week we will tell you what happens next in the story. We are enjoying reading this book and would like to meet a real butterfly lion.

Teamwork Trolls

We were Teamwork Trolls and worked together to make a house using construction materials.

PE

We had lots of fun during our first PE lesson yesterday. We found lots of different ways to move around the hall including running, hopping and crawling. Can you think of any other ways to move?

Don't forget to keep practising getting yourself changed.

Shoe Boxes

Next week the Year 2 children will be making puppet theatres.

They will be using empty shoe boxes as their starting point so if you have any that you can spare, they will be gratefully recieved.

Thank you for your support,

The Year 2 Team

Our learning in Nursery

We have had such a lot of fun in Nursery. This half term we are learning about Traditional Tales and we are currently learning about 'The Gingerbread Man'. We have been joining in with repeated refrains, making a gingerbread man using playdough, painting pictures of characters from the story, decorating the gingerbread man using different materials, counting buttons on the gingerbread man and discussing what happens in the story. Here are a few photographs of what we have been doing so far...

We have used the tweezers to place beads around the sound and then challenged our self to say the sound.

Can you tell your adults at home the sounds we have learnt in phonics?

In Maths this week, we have been ordering by size. 

Can you have a go at ordering objects by size at home?

You could bring a photo in to share with the class.

We had such a lovely time at our Teddy Bear's Picnic. We ate the biscuits we had made and listened to some Traditional Tales. We then went on a hunt around the playground looking for the characters from our story.
