Week 4
This week year 2 have been working hard! In Maths they have started looking at fractions. They have explored halves in shapes as well as number. In English they have been writing descriptions for different mythical beasts using adjectives, verbs and adverbs.Finally, In Computing they used their programming skills o Scratch JR to make some hilarious jokes!
Week 3
What an interesting week it has been...In DT we have been finding out how to design and make the right chair for baby bear. We tested the strength of different shapes by piling books on them until they crumpled! Cylinders were the strongest as they have no corners. We found that shorter, wider cylinders with lots of layers of paper made the best structures for a chair as they are strong and stable and the material is stiff. Next lesson we will be building a chair for a bear using what we have learnt about the best structures.
On Tuesday morning we visited the cathedral for a Tudor morning, led by Betsy and Mabel, two Tudor women! Despite the rain we had a great time, even if we were a bit soggy! We learnt more about rich and poor Tudors and the kinds of food they ate. We found out that the Tudors had some very different rules or laws to us and the punishments were very different too! Having rotten vegetables thrown at you in the 'pillary' for wearing purple or having a beard did not sound good! No one would like to go back and live in Tudor times! We also had to order the wives of Henry VIII using the rhyme we had learnt. Can you teach it to your grown-ups at home?
Week 2
In Maths we measured centimetres and metres! We went to the hall to find things that were a metre or more like the doors and the benches using metre sticks. Then we used a trundle wheel to measure the length and width of the whole hall!
In English we have been describing features of a dragon focusing on capital letters, adjectives, synonyms, and adverbs!
On world book day we have, discussed how important our friends and family are to us, made cookies, spent time enjoying reading, made posters of our favourite book characters and did some art and craft! To finish off the day we had an extra playtime and played games together!
Week 1
Welcome to Spring 2 at Spring Meadow! This week we have finished our diary writing by planning and writing a diary for Rose from The Tunnel story. We had to write as if we were Rose telling a friend what happened. The children did a brilliant job!
In Maths we finished off our Multiplication and Division work with the 5 and 10 times tables and dividing by 2, 5 and 10. This was really challenging by we worked hard and showed great resilience as we worked through a variety of problems.
Please have a look at the Knowledge Organisers above to find out what we will be learning about in the coming weeks.
On Tuesday 12th March we visit Ely Cathedral for a Tudor morning. Please let us know if you can help out, we really appreciate your support.
