English: In English, Yellow group and Green group have been doing Read Write Inc. Red and Blue group have been working independently on Little Red Riding Hood. They have been describing characters and settings and using a story mountain to plan their own version of the story. Thursday and Fridays lessons have been looking in more depth at ‘The Tiger Who Came to Tea’. We noticed that the story has lots of apostrophes and looked at the difference between apostrophes for contraction and possessive apostrophes. This is very challenging work and the children have shown a very good understanding – Well done Class 2!

Maths: We have finished Place Value this week, ordering 3 numbers from smallest to largest and using the more than and less than symbols to compare them. We move onto measurement next week.

Science: In Science, the children were given different criteria to arrange materials e.g. rough, smooth, waterproof, not waterproof, transparent, opaque, soft and hard. They became detectives and walked around the school looking for materials that they could draw and label under each heading.

Geography: The children enjoyed looking at the artist Henri Rousseau in Geography this week. He paints jungle scenes which the children found very interesting. They had a go at creating their own versions of his jungle paintings, using watercolour paints. We have lots of little artists in Class 2!

D&T: We have started D&T by gathering data. On Tuesday the children had to make a tally chart of which fruit and vegetable was the most popular in Class 2. Once they had completed their tally charts, they made a pictograph to show their results.

Spellings: To be tested Friday 16th March 2018.
