Year 2 - Summer 2 - Week 2
Date: 21st Jun 2024 @ 3:41pm
We have had another fantastic week in Year 2, and we couldn’t be prouder of all you have done!
In Maths, we continued with our topic on Statistics, developing our understanding of tables and block graphs by both creating them and reading them to answer a range of questions. Next week, we will learn all about pictograms, creating our own and reading them to answer a range of questions.
In English, we continued with our story ‘Grandad’s Secret Giant’. We learnt how the giant had helped save them during a dreadful storm, imagining that we were Billy, we created a vivid diary entry about the frightening experience! The entries were full of exciting literacy features such as adjectives and conjunctions.
In Reading, we explored the Grimm’s Fairy Tale ‘The Shoe Maker and the Elves’, starting by exploring how the illustrations allow us to identify key events in the story before even reading it! After, we answered a range of literal and inference questions about the text. We cannot wait to find out what fairy tale is next.
As part of our Young Leaders Award, we looked at the word Perseverance and how this is a quality all good leaders, and as individuals, we should have. We learnt how Gracie, the character in our story, set herself her the challenge of tying her laces, and how with lots of practise and perseverance, she succeeded! To help us remember to keep going even when it get tough, we created our own ‘Stick with it sticks’. These beautiful creations will be a constant reminder to us!
All children showed this skill as part of our talent show prep, practising their various routines during the build-up the first round on Thursday. Here, the children took to the stage in front of their class performing a variety of skills from dance to football. Well done to everyone who took part and of course to the act that went through to the grand finale, in front of the whole school! Year 2 certainly do have talent!
All children were also able to show of these skills in during our PE lessons where they took their time to practise their team work skills as part of the three-legged race! We cannot wait for Sports Day next week for all our parents to see!
