Wow, I can’t quite believe it is October and we are already a month into Year 2! The weather is on the change and there are definite signs of Autumn in the air, I know I have had to start wrapping up warm!
We have continued to look at Here We Are by Oliver Jeffers in our writing. This week we have been considering how we are all different and how this makes the world a more interesting place. We have also looked at diversity within the animal world. We used pictures from the book to identify similarities and differences between animals and write sentences to highlight these. We have focused on using adjectives to add description to make our writing more interesting and informative.
In maths we have continued to look at the place value of digits and also discussed how to use the greater than and less than symbols to order numbers. You might like to play this game at home: https://mathsframe.co.uk/en/resources/resource/574/Comparing-Numbers-using-Dienes
In art we have continued to look at buildings and structures – this week we focused on the Colosseum and and enjoyed spotting the shapes we could use to help us reproduce our own versions. We also looked at Europe to identify where Italy and the Colosseum is located.
We have continued to learn some new songs and find the pulse and beat in them. You might want to share this with your adults at home – penguins.
Thank you to everyone for working so hard this week and for exploring their learning at home through their homework, keep it up! This week’s home learning will introduce the times table challenge!
Have a wonderful weekend, Miss Mansell
