Our Weekly News
Week beginning 5.9.2023
What an incredible start to the new academic year! We started our new English learning journey based on the book 'The lion Inside'. We have used drama to retell the story and have even used part of the adventure playground to think about how some of the characters might have been feeling. We got even more into one of the main characters (the lion), by making lion masks.
We have had great fun exploring what value digits have within a number by playing bingo and other fun games.
Welcome everyone to what I am sure is going to be a fantastic term and year together in Robin class. Well done children for an amazing week.
Week beginning 11.9.23
Our first full week was fantastic! WE are well and truly enjoying our book for English, 'The Lion Inside'. We are busy planning our own version of the story ready to write our own story.
In maths we are continuing learning all about numbers and place value and in science we are very excited to start conducting some experiments. Out topic in science is all about materials and we will test a range of different materials to find out what they can do.
We have had so much fun in music; we are using a range of percussion instruments to replicate the sound of African animals and African life. This is closely linked to our geography topic which is all based on Kenya. Our enquiry question for geography is 'Would my life be different if I lived in Kenya?'. Some of us were adamant that it would be, others felt our lives would be pretty similar and others were not sure at all because we hadn't learnt anything about Kenya yet.
PE has been great; we have have learnt how to play crazy golf on a golf course specially set up for us on the playground, it was so much fun.
We are having a great time in year 2 and can't wait for each new week to start.
Week beginning 18.9.23
Another fun filled week has come to a close. Oh my goodness how they rush past! Well, this week has seen us come to the end of our first learning journey in English, the final piece of work the children did was to write their own version of 'The Lion Inside'. They could change the characters, the setting, the problem to be solved, whatever they wanted. The end result from everybody was a truly fantastic story.
We have carried out experiments in science to discover some of the properties of certain materials and why certain objects are best suited to being made from that particular material.
In maths we are going to be adding and subtracting as we are now very confident with place value and the value of each digit within a number.
In PE this week, we had great fun. We have been learning how to correctly throw a foam javelin, how to balance and toss a bean bag on a tennis racket and we are learning how to play hockey. We all have a very competitive side.
Voting took place today for each classes school councilor, the results will be revealed in assembly on Monday.
Well done to Robins for another fantastic week and hope you all have a restful and happy weekend.
