Maths
This week it's been all about the money in maths as we have been mentally adding a range of coins; finding different ways of making a target amount and using written methods to add larger amounts. We can now add together numbers with 2 decimal places.
Literacy
It's been a very creative week during our literacy lessons, as we have been creating our own poems using metaphors. We first looked at the difference between metaphors and similes in a matching game. Then we have looked at photographs, pictures and video footage of peacocks and making metaphors to describe their movement, sound and visual appearance. We then put all of our ideas together and wrote a poem in the style of the seventeenth century poem 'I Saw a Peacock'.
Science
In science we have got up close to nature, as we looked at the role and function of the parts of a flowering plant.
Art
We developed our fine brush work skills and working at speed, as we blended together stains to create images of peacocks. Look at the blog next week to see some of our stunning results.
A big thank-you to everybody that came to the Year 2 SATs meeting. Remember if you have anything you would like to discuss about the upcoming assessments or any of your child's learning in school, please just pop in after school.
