Year 2 - Summer 2 - Week 3
Date: 23rd Jun 2023 @ 10:42am
What another great week Year 2 have had!
In Maths we continued our topic of ‘Geometry’ where we looked at ‘Position and Direction’. We described our movements by looking at language such as ‘anti-clockwise and clockwise’ ‘left and right’ as well as ‘forwards and backwards’. We then tried to direct each other around the room to an end point using this language, realising how important it was to tell them turn the correct way. We even got to use ‘Beebots’ to travel around the classroom, making sure we ended up in the correct place by being super careful when giving our directions.
We finished our book ‘Grandad’s Secret Giant’ in English and had a great class discussion talking about the message of the story and how it’s important to think how our actions make others feel, just like when Billy ran away from the giant. Then we made our own brochures trying to entice people to visit ‘Gableview’. We used our imagination to think what we would want the town to have and included these in our leaflets.
In Science, we continued to explore our topic of ‘Little Masterchefs’ We recapped the Eatwell Plate discussing what each section/colour represented and what foods went in each. We then discussed our favourite pizzas and how they fit into each Eatwell Plate section. We were shocked to discover that a well-topped pizza ticks all the boxes! We designed our own pizza, thinking about what toppings we want on it for our own when we go to Sorrento’s next week. All this pizza talk made us hungry!
Have a lovely weekend, Year 2 !
