Year 2 - Summer 1 - Week 2
Date: 28th Apr 2023 @ 8:17am
What another amazing week!
We have continued to develop our knowledge of fractions in Maths, continuing to explore thirds and quarters. We focused on 2/4 and ¾ and discussed how 2/4 is equivalent to a ½.
We continued to read our book in English, ‘The Last Wolf’. We discussed how the book primarily takes place in the forest/woods which got us thinking about other fairy tales that take place in the woods. We listened to the song ‘Prologue’ from the musical and movie ‘Into the Woods’ and discussed who we thought was singing the song and who they were singing about. We also listened to ‘If you go into the woods today’ and connected our learning to show what the common theme was. We then used adjectives to describe the forest, making sure that we used the suffixes ‘est’ and ‘er’. We also talked about how important it was for words that end in ‘y’ such as creepy or gloomy to drop the y, add an i and then the suffix.
In Religion, we continued our new topic ‘Why is the church a special place for Christians?’ We discussed what we consider a special place to be for ourselves and how this is different for everyone. We discussed how these are an amazing and special place to pray. We talked about the prayers we say in school and what they mean. We then had the opportunity to write our own prayer. Additionally, we explored a special placed called the ‘Tabernacle’ and we explored the symbols inside and what they mean.
In PE, we brought out the tennis rackets and had the challenge of controlling the ball and making sure we could hit a target. We found this challenging but super fun and especially loved it when we were challenged to get ten in a row!
