Sumdog Challenge Spellings –  common exception words

This week in Year 2

English

We continued our novel called 'Dear Earth' by Isabel Clara Anganuzzi. The children have written brilliant speech bubbles for how the Earth is feeling and the steps we can all do to help, created a poster to pursuade people to clean up the Earth and wrote an acrostic poem for Earth. 

Maths

This week we have learnt how to solve multiplication and division worded problems.

RE

We learnt all about the Scripture from Saul. We re-told the story of Saul using pictures and captions. 

Forest School

We made shelters and pretended a storm was coming! Superb team-work and problem solving. We are also becoming more proficient when tying knots.

Art

We explored acrylic paintings from famous artists including Van Gogh. The children re-created one of his paintings using two different mediums. 

PSHE

In PSHE this week the children have looked at the roles of people who help us in our community. We have also had a big focus on taking time to write in our feelings book each day after dinner. Here the children can write down any feelings they have (good and bad). 

Have a lovely weekend.
