In maths this week, the Penguins and Turtles have been recognising and ordering numbers. We built Numberblock towers, creating a staircase pattern, noticing that each step was one more than the last. We took turns to hide a tower and work out which was missing, using the sentence stem e.g. “4 is missing because 4 is one more than 3.”

In Art, Max has created a beautiful spiral final piece. He used pastels and lots of concentration.  

This week in Year 2, we have been working hard on our writing. The children have been trying to include lots of different elements to make their work stand out, such as interesting vocabulary and varied sentence types. All of this has been linked to our focus book, Man on the Moon: A Day in the Life of Bob.

The children have really enjoyed exploring the story and using it to inspire their own wonderful ideas.

This is work completed by Hattie in the Koalas, Year 2.

The Koalas have been writing questions about a character in our new book.  We used question words such as 'how' and 'what' and finished our sentences with question marks.

This week, we created some artwork using the leaves we collected last week. We carefully decided how best to arrange them on the page. Inspired by Andy Goldsworthy, the children have produced some lovely and thoughtful pieces of work.

In English, the Foxes have been reading Lost in the Toy Museum. Saule has written some sentences about the pictures in the story, remembering her capital letters, finger spaces and full stops.
