Year 2 - Summer 1 - Week 6

Date: 26th May 2023 @ 1:12pm

What a busy, hard working week Year 2 have had!

In Maths, we continued our new topic of ‘Time’ where we explored past the hour and to the hour. We discussed how when the minute hand goes to a new number, this means five minutes have passed. We utilised our 5-time tables extremely well this week for this. We then created our own flower clock to help us remember which side is to the hour and which is past.

Our ‘Under the Sea’ dance is getting better and better each week! We introduced some new creatures into our dance including sharks, crabs, fish and even some jellyfish. We look forward to performing this for everyone.

In Geography, we recapped on all the knowledge we learnt about seas and coasts. We also explored new facts about the five seas. We discovered that the Pacific Ocean is the largest ocean and the Artic is the smallest ocean.

In our guided reading sessions, we finally finished our book ‘The Fantastic Mr Fox’ and what an amazing book it was! We absolutely loved going on this adventure with Mr Fox and his friends, digging through tunnels and escaping from Boggis, Bunce and Bean the evil farmers. We then finished off the week by watching the movie and discussing the similarities and differences from the book.

Have a well deserved and long week off, Year 2! Please see the Virtual Classroom attached for resources to support you further, should you wish. 

 Reminders:

• PE lessons will now take place on a Monday and Wednesday this term.
