The children made and bought different foods from around the UK to finish our Geography unit of Where does our food come from?
Thank you to parents for supporting us with this, we really appreciate it!
This week we started our new learning of measurement in Maths. Today we went around the classroom finding things that were longer or shorter than a metre using metre tapes!
In English we wrote an acrostic poem on the subject of Spring. Then we performed our poem to a tree outside! They were all great.
We look forward to our Great British Picnic on Monday where we will be trying foods from around the UK.
Have a lovely weekend,
Miss Clarke
As part of our learning of Safer Internet day, we talked about things we like to do online, from reading to gaming, facetiming family and watching Netflix. We ordered them and compared our preferences with our friends.
We also talked about what we should do if we see something online that we don’t like and read the story ‘Hanni and the Magic Window’.
In Maths this week we have been learning to divide numbers and recognising odd and even numbers. Some of us even knew numbers that were odd and even in the thousands because we knew we just needed to look at the ones number.
In English we finished writing our instructions for how to make soup after the D&T project and started our new learning of acrostic poems! Here we are today identifying features of acrostic poems.
In Geography we learnt where different foods were from around the UK and found the places on a map.
Have a lovely weekend,

This week we raised attention for the Ukraine conflict by wearing yellow and blue as part of our Catholic Life curriculum. Thank you for donations, too!
We also had three excited children who have bought a book with their poems in! There were other child who had their work in the book too, from our class and many others!
In Maths, we have been using counters to help our number bonds to 9 knowledge, as well as making arrays to solve multiplication problems.

Hope you have a great weekend!

We have had a great couple of afternoons trying and tasting soup!
First we tried different flavours of soup to decide which flavour soup we were going to make. Then we planned our soup and wrote down our ingredients.
Today we chopped our vegetables and added more ingredients like sugar, salt and stock and put it in the soup maker. Lots of us loved it!
Thank you to all the adults who came in to help and for bringing in their soup makers to borrow.
Last Friday Year 2 went to Earlsdon Hight street to find out the food we can buy which started our new Geography unit. We learned that food can be fresh, fast or frozen and we made a note of the shops which sold each. Thank you to Martha’s mum for coming with us!
We had a great time on Tuesday singing with 6000 other children as part of the Young Voices choir in Birmingham. It was great to sing the songs we have been learning since September with everyone. Thank you to parents for coming and supporting us too!
We’ve had a busy few weeks in Year 2. We have been using dienes to begin to add and subtract 2 numbers.
On Tuesday we had a lovely prayer service thinking about how we can be followers of Jesus at home, at school and on the playground. We wrote these on post it notes and added them to the Catholic Life Book.
Finally, we visited the library! The children were very excited about looking and taking out books. Hopefully next time we will all be able to take books home!
We have added the children’s Times Tables Rockstars log ins to their reading diaries so the children can start practicing their times tables at home.
We have had a great half term and are looking forward to a rest!
We started off the week by sorting different sentence types into statements, commands, exclamations and questions so we could use 3 different types in our character description about Mr Fox.
On Tuesday we celebrated St Francis of Assisi’s Feast Day by learning about how he helped others. We wrote a handprint stating 5 things we could do to be like St Francis.
On Thursday we finished our writing unit- here are some examples of our descriptions!
