The children have worked really hard this week so we thought they deserved a nice treat to end the week. Mrs Murton and I went shopping and we bought hot chocolate, marshmallows, twirls, chocolate biscuits, sprinkles and whippped cream. The children spent some of the afternoon drawing, reading and drinking hot chocolate. They absolutely loved it! Thank you Mrs Murton for making the hot chocolate, we loved it!

This week the children have enjoyed using their investigation skills to explore the properties of different materials. They have investigated which materials are absorbent or waterproof and have been using scientific vocabulary to compare them. The children have learnt new scientific vocabulary and now know that absorbent materials are porous and that waterproof materials repel water. Look at the fun we had!

The children have enjoyed learning important facts about The Great Fire of London. They have been sketching Tudor houses and have been creating Timelines to explain what happened from when the fire started to when it ended. Have a look at their amazing work!
Well done Year 2!

The children were pleased to have Georgia, the City Coach back this week. They enjoyed learning how to pass and control the ball. They had the opportunity to work in pairs and kick the ball to each other. They found it difficult to learn tackling skills and had a go at the Johan Cruijff move to help them keep their balls away from their friends 
. 
They are really excited to try and improve their skills next week.

The children have enjoyed using the new playground equipment. They have really liked playing with the new skipping ropes and parachutes.

The children have enjoyed exploring how to add and subtract using number lines and by drawing pictures for support. It was really nice to see the children confidently add and subtract 2 digit numbers and a 1 digit number. They enjoyed working out the answers using whitebaords. Look at their fantastic work!

The children have been reading the story 'Vlad'. The children were introduced to the character ' Boxton the rat' who was living in the bakery on Pudding Lane when the fire started. The children worked in small groups to act out the different events to help them remember and summarise the different events in the beginning of the story. Some of the children were narrators and retold the story using story book language and some of the children acted the events out. They worked really hard as a team and their performances were amazing.
Some of the children particularly enjoyed being Boxton the rat and hiding in the corner of the room.

Well done to all the children who have completed their homework over the past few weeks. I am starting to see some improvements in the spelling and in the presentation of the work that is completed in class. Keep working hard!
Look at some of the work so far. Do you recognise your work?
Thanks

We have all worked hard during our fluent in 5 and mental math sessions. We have been trying to use our knowledge of doubles, number pairs and multiplication facts to answer addition problems, quickly.
Have a look at our maths superstars this week!
Well done to our spelling champions who got all of their spellings correct this week.
Well done to Ridhwan, Kaya, Harris and William.
Well done to Alexis for achieving level 4 and Aaron for getting level 8 on Lexia!
You have all worked so hard this week and you should all be so proud of your achievements!
Well done

Our Behaviour Star this week is Jenson! Well done Jenson for always making the right choices and following the school rules.
In maths this week we have been learning how to add near doubles. So that we could understand how to double a number we explored how to make doubles using cubes, numicon and diennes. We had so much fun using practical resources to solve problems. Some of the children felt so confident with adding 2 digit numbers they challenged themselves and had a go at adding 3 digit numbers.
We also worked hard on the presentation in the maths book . We practised how to write numerals correctly too! Some of us also used numicon to work out number pairs to 10.
It was lovely to see the children happy and excited to learn . It has been an absolute pleasure teaching all of the children this week. One week to go, keep working hard!
Thanks

Following instructions to bath a baby!
Date: 11th Oct 2020 @ 1:52pm
Some of the children practised how to say and follow instructions this week. They made sure that they used......
Time connectives
Bossy Verbs
Adjectives
Said each instruction in order
They enjoyed going into role as the 'teacher' and instructing each other on how to bath a baby. It was lovely to see the children helping each other and supporting each other to remember what to do . They found making actions helped them to remember the next steps.
Working this way really helped the children to write instructions later on in the week!

The children have been learning about odd and even numbers. They have enjoyed exploring what makes a number odd or even. They have been listening to and dancing along to the odd and even song. Why don't you have a listen for yourself and play it at home!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1EGRUXmNdY
They enjoyed playing the odd and even sit down, pull a funny face game.
They enjoyed counting the sides of 2d shapes and sorting them into shapes with odd and even sides.
They enjoyed exploring if quantities could be shared equally by 2 and finding out which amounts were odd and even.
They even added 2 odd numbers together, 2 even numbers together and an odd and an even number,. They found out that.......
2 even numbers make an even answer
2 odd numbers make an even answer
An odd and even number when added together make an odd answer
They had so much fun!

The children have been working very hard and trying their very best to get used to working as a Year 2 child. The children learn English in a different way to year 1 and now have whole class guided reading sessions, no nonsense spelling lessons ,SPAG and writing lessons which are taught within an English block of teaching. This is to create a blended approach to learning, allowing all the English skills to flow. The children have coped with the change really well and are now seeing the connections between their learning, which they like.
We have enjoyed learning about instructional texts and have enjoyed reading and writing instructions to make a Garden Stew like Whiffy Wilson. The children carefully read the you will need box to collect all the ingredients from the school garden
The children then followed the instructions to make the stew.

The children enjoyed using bossy verbs and adjectives to instruct each other on how to make the stew. They really enjoyed working practically which had an excellent impact on the writing they produced! Some of the children enjoyed it so much they made their own stews at home.

Hello Ravensbury wildlife lovers,
The end of another week and it’s going to be a little cooler today. It was so hot yesterday again! I think the ducks will be happy with the rain later.
Today’s challenge is to use your ears as the sun sets tonight. Listen for the wildlife concert that is played in your back garden every evening. You could record it and email the concert to me.
Have a wonderful, sunny and safe Thursday.

Date: 25th Jun 2020 @ 7:12am
Hello everybody,
It’s Thursday already! It was so hot yesterday and it looks like it’s going to be another scorcher today so make sure you wear a hat and put your sun cream on when you’re out in the wild today.
Today’s challenge is to make an accessory out of flowers. I used to love to make daisy chains when I was a little girl. Can you make something to add to your outfit or to give to someone you love?
Have a wonderful, sunny and safe Thursday.
