Year 2
Weekly Update Friday 15th March 2024
A Summary of Our learning:
The children have started making their Ferris Wheels and they are so so excited! It has also been science week where the theme was ‘Time’. The children enjoyed looking at the connections our brains make over time. They also carried out an enquiry on how moths have adapted to their habitat over time.
In maths, the children explored 2D shape further by making patterns with shape. They also leant how to transcribe shapes by moving points up, down, left and right or by turning them on an axis. In English, the children loved writing a leaflet on how to be fire safe. The children then learnt a new text map. It was a chronological report on the school day. |
