This half term Eagles are working on Living things and their environment.
We talked about living, dead and inanimate and spent time working in table groups to sort different things into the correct categories.
Eagles spent the afternoon creating and building Roman Roads on the field.
We looked at the process of digging trenches, lining the trench with larger stones and sticks. Then layered small stones and sand. We then covered it with a layer of mud and made our top surface with leaves. We added kerbsides with sticks. Some even tried to build aqueducts!
We had lots of dirty hands and happy faces.
Eagles have been continuing their Literacy learning. We have had a virtual tour of a French antique shop and been exploring descriptive words.
In computing we have been using our new 'search' skills to research The Romans.
Welcome Back Eagles!
It has been a busy penultimate week in Eagles class, we have finished some of our topic work. In DT, we have completed our rocking boat rides. The children learnt many new skills during this, especially tying knots by themselves, which will help them to tie their own shoes as they grow, too!
Early in the week, was our sports day. All of the children practised really hard, and had a fantastic time showing off their sporting skills! Thank you to all of the families who were able to join us.
A very successful week in Eagles class this week. Congratulations to these students who have all passed another stage on their multiplication. Please continue to practice at home.
In Maths this week we have been learning about 3D shape. We have explored vertices and edges in more detail, using sticks to create 3D shapes of our own and practicing explaining our shape.
This week Year Two have completed their end of year tests. We are extremely proud of all the children who have given it their very best efforts.
On Wednesday, it was time for the long awaited Church Farm trip! The children have been counting down the days for over a month and were understandably very excited to go. Here are some pictures from our day together:
Phew a busy week for the Eagles class.
We have continued our Maths learning on 2d shapes and have been exploring patterns.
We have also started to learn about Northern Europe in Geography and Astronomy in Science. Our first lesson was about the Sun and the Solar System.
Tuesday was a brilliant day, taking part in the Lynnsport day. We played lots of different sporting team games and had lots of fun together.
We have been practising our Spelling and Grammar, as well as continuing with our Phonics.
Please practice your times tables and reading at home.
This week in Eagles class we have been learning:
Maths: we have been working on shape. This week we focussed on learning about lines of symmetry and enjoyed finding these in Outdoor Learning.
Literacy: We have been focussing on our spelling, punctuation and grammar skills this week. We will continue this after half term. You can help your child at home: if they write a sentence check it starts with a capital letter and ends with a full stop.
Art: we have finished our mural this week! We are so proud of the children's efforts. Please see below:
Spring has truly sprung this week, and Eagles' class are enjoying the better weather! Please can you send your child in every day with a sun hat and water bottle, especially as these warmer days (hopefully) continue.
This week we have been learning:
Literacy: we are writing our sequel to the 'Magic Finger'. The children have used their imaginations wonderfully, and we have had families turned into birds, deer and even wild rabbits!
Maths: we are learning about 2D and 3D shapes. Please help your child to recognise these shapes in and around your home.
Science: we continued our learning about materials and matter.
Art: we are using wool to add features to our mural. This week has involved weaving, creating twisted cords and making pom-poms. All of these are new skills and have been challenging!
Times tables: all of the children have impressed us this week by improving their scores. Please continue to help your child practise.
It has been a busy week in Eagles class, and we are all thrilled to see some sunshine!
Literacy - we have been planning our own versions of the Magic Finger. The children have been very imaginative with the magic the girl might use - we have families turned into foxes, rats and even chickens!
Maths - we have finished our work on fractions this week. Next week we are learning about shape. Please help your children by discussing the shapes you can see around you.
History - we learnt the story of Malala, a young girl from Pakistan who wanted all people to be entitled to an education.
RE - We investigated what it is like to visit a gurdwara.
Art - We continued making our mural by printing mixed materials to make seaweed.
This week, Eagles class enjoyed some different learning experiences. Finally, the weather was kind enough to us (only just!) and we ventured out to the Walks on a nature hunt. It was wonderful to hear the children using their new vocabulary:
'That's a deciduous tree, Miss Snow!'
'Can you see the buds growing on that tree? Does it stay green all year, is it evergreen?'
We also spotted a jay bird, something many of the children and some of the adults had not seen before.
In Literacy. we have been reading 'The Magic Finger' by Roald Dahl and have been recreating the scene where the Greggs have just turned into ducks.
Then, during art, we had a go at printing our own designs of fish onto paper. We are working as a class team to create a mural, and look forward to showing it off once it is finished.
In History, we have been learning about Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King.
In Science, we have started learning about Materials and Matter.
