In 2 red this week we’ve had a huge focus on explaining, verbalising and reasoning our methods and processes. To help us practice this, we have been teaching our aliens to add! We’ve had to make sure we have explained every detail of the methods to help our alien learn all about addition in Year 2.
In LMTW ‘Light up the World’ we have been focusing on different sounds we can hear in our natural environment. The children had to listen to the different sounds then act them out using different body parts for their friends to guess them. The children in turn guessed what each sound was then together made class actions for each sound.
In Jigsaw year one have thinking about friendships and being kind. We took turns to say what a good friend looked like. Each child picked a friend and said a positive thing about why they were a good friend in order to boost their confidence and make them feel worthwhile and appreciated. Every child willingly took part and it had a positive impact on all. We then sorted statements into kind and unkind ones and said why we didn’t like the unkind statements.
What a busy time we have had in Reception. Some amazing creations, writing and maths using our first, then, now language. Great collaborations, exploring and fun in the sun ❤️
Today we have been learning all about the different parts of a plant and their jobs. We looked at a Lilly and cut it up to be able to see inside and this helped us to understand how it worked.
We had a lovely morning with Reception parents earlier in the week. We showed them some of our Maths and English skills and how we use these skills through our groups sessions and through our play. I think everyone was so impressed at our growing independence!
Reverend Ian came to visit us this morning. We talked about a story from the bible about Jesus and some of his friends. They were in the boat and there was a storm. His friends were very frightened. We talked about things that make us feel frightened. The children suggested some ideas such as exams, starting a new school etc. We then talked about what we could do if we feel frightened. The children had some great ideas such as tell a teacher, grandparents, family or a trusted adult. We then sang a song with him and our friends.
WOW!!! We have had some truly amazing entries for our decorated egg competition. The effort and creativity the children have applied to their designs are fantastic. Well done to all that have taken part!
In RE year one have focusing on the Easter story and the true meaning behind Easter. We looked at Palm Sunday and sequenced the story, made posters about Maundy Thursday and the Last Supper, then we made Easter cards using a stained glass window effect with a cross to symbolise Jesus being crucified on the cross on Good Friday. The children were truly fascinated about the story and learning about new life and the resurrection, and how it linked to getting chocolate eggs from the Easter Bunny.
Year 2 took part in a decorated egg competition. Here are our entries. Can you spot a winner?
