English: This week the Year 2 children have been focusing on the different types of sentences – exclamations, questions and statements. They have been learning how to recognise these and have had a go at writing some of their own, making sure they punctuate them correctly.
The Year 3 children have been learning how to edit and improve their work. They have done some writing based on the film ‘Up’ and have learned how to choose a sentence they have written and make it better. They have also been proof-reading their work checking for punctuation errors.
Maths: This week the children have been learning how to add ‘ones’ to a number. The Year 2 children have been adding ones to a 2 digit number and the Year 3 children have been adding ones to a 3 digit number. The children have been doing this practically using base 10 equipment as well as using number lines to help them.
Science: This week the children did an investigation to see what materials can change shape and what you can do to them to change their shape – e.g. squash them, bend them, twist them etc. They recorded their results in a table and were asked to explain what they had found out.
History: The children did some writing in character as Christopher Columbus. They had to imagine they were Columbus at sea during a storm and they had to write a message home explaining how they were feeling as well as telling people what they had found on their travels.
RE: The children did an activity on the Five Pillars of Islam where they had to explain what they are.
Computing: The children applied all the skills they have learned recently to create a poster.
PE: The children have continued with their dance and games lessons this week.
