Year 2 - Autumn 1 - Week 3
Date: 22nd Sep 2023 @ 4:26pm
The weather has certainly not dampened our spirts this week but we do think many of us will sleep well this weekend!
We started the week off with a bang, with a visit from the incredible ‘Bring the Fire’ team who taught us how to part of the circus! We loved getting involved, spinning plates, juggling balls and completing some very tricky stick work. We absolutely loved our workshop and cannot wait for the circus to arrive next Tuesday!
We continued with our Place Value topic in Maths, and using a range of practical resources we connected our learning back to Year 1 to partition numbers to 100 in many different ways. We identified that numbers beyond 10 did not always have to partitioned by their tens and ones and could be divided in many different ways. Next week, we will finish this topic by exploring numbers, beyond 20, on a number line.
In RE we reflected on our learning from last week and reminded ourselves why the Bible is as important story for Christians. After we explored different stories from the Bible, first the story ‘The Good Samaritan’ and later, the Creation story, which linked nicely to our Collective Value topic, Creation. We retold both these stories in different ways.
In Science, we recapped our learning from Year 1, and recalled the meaning of ‘carnivore’, ‘herbivore’ and ‘omnivore’. After, we built on this knowledge and identified the three main things all living things need to survive.
We also built on our prior learning in Geography, where we reminded ourselves of the 7 continents, before identifying and learning about the surrounding 5 oceans.
