In our maths lesson today, we were filling different sort of containers and cooking equipment with water, and then pouring it back into a measuring jug to ‘test’ if the containers held the amount of milliliters that was written on them! We had lots of fun....and some of us got a bit wet!

This afternoon in our Art lesson we were looking at the work of the Painter and Artist Anthony Frost. Anthony Frost is known for his abstract work which consists of brightly coloured prints and collages. nspired by his work, we created our own collages using ripped up pieces of brightly coloured paper and sticking them down so that the colours overlapped. We really enjoyed creating our own brightly coloured abstract pieces or art work and the classroom was a sea of colour! These are going to look fantastic up on display! Super work Year 2! In our maths lesson this morning, we have worked together to measure capacity. We poured some water from a jug into a tall container, measuring out a different amount of millilitres each time.  Celebrating 70 years of Queen Elizabeth II on the throne TSM will be holding their own street party and activities on Wednesday 8th June.
Come to school in our 1950s theme, in red, white & blue or as a royal. Join in the fun by bringing in your own royal tea! Individual mini pack up for our street party!! Year 2 SATs week complete! We are all SO SO proud of the children and the hard work they have put in this week! As I said earlier on in the week- they took it all in their stride and any worries they had at the beginning of the week soon disappeared when they realised they had done it all before with the practise papers. On Friday morning when we had finished our last Maths paper...and a yummy piece of chocolate cake- we gave a big cheer that we had done it! FANTASTIC work Year 2! x Today in our Literacy we were recapping Nouns. We learnt that a noun is a person, place or thing. Firstly, we wrote down some examples of each on our whiteboards before going on a 'Noun Hunt' around the school. On the noun hunt, we wrote down people we saw, such as Mrs Goodhand and Mrs Lawrence, we wrote down places we walked past on went into, such as the toilets, the hall, classrooms and the staff room. We also wrote down things we saw such as chairs, books, the piano and the photocopier. I wonder how many nouns the children can spot at home?! Great noun spotting Year 2! This afternoon in our art lesson, we continued looking at the work and styles of the artist Kandinsky. We learnt how he used differnent lines and patterns in his work using different media. So we had our own go at using differnt medias. First of all we used crayon to draw a mix of handwriting patterns and swirly patterns. Then, we very carelfully traced over the lines and patterns we had made with paint. We were encouraged to take our time to concentrate on carefully tracing over and following the patterns with our paintbrush. Many of us found this quite relaxing! One our creations are dry we will put them up on display. This afternoon, we started our new topic in science 'Young Gardeners'. We are going to be looking closely at how plants grow and what they need to grow. So we have started by planting our own Sunflowers. We had a think about the steps involved in planting a seed and came up with some that we could easliy follow; 1. Fill your cup with some soil/compost. 2. Make a small hole in the middle of the soil with your finger. 3. Drop 1-2 sunflower seeds into the hole. 4. Cover the hole with a little soil. 5. Give your sunflower plant a little water. We will be watering, watching and measuring our sunflower plants over the next few weeks to see how well they grow. This afternoon in our PSHE we were talking about relationships we have with other people, particularly our friends. We spoke about the different ways in which we can communicate with others through touch or by using our hands. We came up with handshakes, high-fives, hugs, fist-bumps, an arm round one another, holding hands, sign-language and using braille (this led on to another lovely conversation and we were able to feel the braille on an empty medicine box from the school cabinet). We then played some games - Drawing letters on each others backs and the other had to guess what letter it was. - Then Mrs Tubby asked us all to close our eyes and hold a hand out. Mrs Tubby gently tapped Jack's palm with her fingertip and we had to feel and count in our hands how many times she tapped our palm. Jack then gently tapped his partners palm the same number of times and so on and so on until it had travelled around to everyone to see if the number of palm taps remained the same......and it did! We started with Jack feeling 4 taps and finished with Kailtyn who also felt 4 taps! |
