Year 2 - Summer 2 - Week 2

Date: 16th Jun 2023 @ 1:34pm

The sun is hot, hot, hot but that hasn’t stopped Year 2 from their work! We have had such a great week.

In Maths we continued our topic of ‘Statistics’ where we explored various ways of recording data. We recapped ‘Tally Charts’ and ‘Block Diagrams’ whilst introducing ‘Pictograms’ as well. We discussed the importance of including a key and how this key shows us what number each symbol represents. We then started our new topic of ‘Geometry’ starting with looking at ‘Language of Direction’ and exploring all the different ways we can describe direction e.g., above, below, between, right and left.

We continued reading our book in English, ‘Grandad’s Secret Giant’. We discussed and inferred how Billy and the Giant were feeling through certain situations, putting ourselves into their shoes (or rather big boots) to see how they felt. We continued to find loads of similes throughout the story, getting really excited when we discovered them.

We continued our giant exploring in Art where we created our very own dream jars from the BFG. We added lots of colour, sparkles and of course all our dreams! Not only this, but we created paper versions as well, creating gorgeous dream jars through watercolours and then writing our dreams and wishes for the future. We have some very ambitious dreams, which we are sure everyone will achieve no problem.s

In Science, we continued to explore our topic of ‘Little Masterchefs’ We explored the Eatwell Plate discussing what each section/colour represented and what foods went in each. We talked about how important it is to have things in moderation and the bigger a section is, the more of it we should eat. In History, we researched seaside holidays from the past and discussed how they are similar and different to the seaside holidays we have now.

Reminders:
