Stars of the week: Micah & Christine

We have had another successful week in Class 2. We made perseverance posters in PSHE, which we will put on display and use to help motivate us across the year when we need a boost or a push of self-belief. The class came up with their own inspirational quote and they showed great creative flare when using the water colour paints to create their backgrounds. Each poster is so unique and special – well done Class 2!

Your spellings this week are based on the rule ‘The sound /s/ spelt ‘c’ before e, i and y’.

Our science topic this half-term is Animals (including humans) and this week we started observations of our new class animal…caterpillars! Class 2 were very careful to draw and label their first observation and write about what they could see. They wondered what might happen next…

We have had an exciting time in Class 2 this week, with the Stomp dance workshop and the Summer Fair happening, as well as lots of wonderful learning opportunities. It was great to see all the children getting involved with the dance and demonstrating their teamwork skills when asked to choreograph some of their own dance moves. Everyone enjoyed the summer fair and cheered each other on in the games. The children have also enjoyed demonstrating their knowledge of plants and computing, when completing a Science quiz about plants on the ipads this week. Well done Class 2

Please enjoy these photos of us during our dance workshop and the summer fair.

What a wonderful time we have had celebrating Sports Week! As well as competing in Kick Ball and Sports Day events, we have also been thinking about sport in Maths and English. In Maths we created a tally chart and pictogram to represent Class 2’s favourite sports, and in English we read about how other schools celebrate sports day and came up with some ideas of how we could make our own sports day successful. The children came up with great ideas such as- listening to instructions, following the rules, trying their best, cheering their team on and demonstrating good sportsmanship. Enjoy the photos of us celebrating this special week below.

This week in PE we recapped the rules for Kick Ball and got very competitive in our class game! The children were supporting each other to explain the rules, and cheering each other on in such a lovely way. We are all excited for the real game next week. In Maths we have been working on graphs, tables and charts, and learning how to record the data of information such as Class 2’s favourite animals. We had to remember how to draw and interpret a tally chart and count up the totals accurately, remembering to count up in fives and ones.
