This week in Maths 2 Red have been learning about position and direction. To get us started with some key vocabulary we followed the Cha Cha Slide. We then added extra vocabulary such as quarter, half and full turns, and clockwise and anticlockwise – connecting this all back to previous learning about time and fractions to help us. We had great fun writing instructions for our stick person, Robin, to them around our map ensuring we talked like true mathematicians!
2 Red have connected their PE and Science this week. In Science, we have been finding out about the human body and what it needs to stay healthy. Part of keeping healthy was all about getting at least 60 minutes of exercise each day and making sure we do enough physical activities to cover this. To raise our heart rates we learned and practiced some new skills in PE. 2 Red showed excellent communication, teamwork and determination all week!
2 Red have shown how mature and sensible they are during PSHE recently. We had great discussions about secrets and also about our trusted adults, knowing who are our closest trusted people and when to seek support from these people.
2 Red are about to start some new learning in maths all about measuring. To start off our learning we became investigators. Many of us connected this back to measures we’ve seen or used while finding out about animals in our current Learning Means the World theme ‘Going Wild!’
We looked at various units of measure, what they mean and what they may be used for. We then put them into practice to play with it and experience it by using equipment to measure items around our classroom.
