Year 2LF: Blog items
Date: 11th Oct 2020 @ 12:57pm
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.

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.

Hello Wildlife Wardens of Ravensbury!
We’ve reached the end of another week getting out in the wild. We have such a lot of beauty in our world. Remember that when you see something in the wild.
Today’s challenge is to draw a wildflower. My sister-in-law and brother-in-law have lived in lots of amazing places around the world. Some of the photos at the bottom are from places as far away as Saudi Arabia and some are from my local woods. Can you find a wildflower and draw it?
Have a fun filled day

Hope today will be a Wild Wednesday Ravensbury! I bet the ducks enjoyed yesterday’s weather. It was tremendous to watch!
Today’s challenge is to see if you can race to find the colours of the rainbow before you get wet in the rain! Maybe you’ll find an orange flower and green grass? These are the colours you are looking for and remember to send in your photos:

Yesterday I discovered that a squirrel’s front teeth never stop growing. Squirrels must gnaw to keep their teeth at the right length. What did you find out?
I also hear this beautiful birdsong every night at tea time. Does anyone know what bird is singing?

Good Morning Year 2!
Hope you are all well and ready to face some new challenges! Today we are looking at practicing our x5 tables and thinking about commas in sentences.
Has anyone completed a #30DaysWild challenge yet? I've recieved some lovely emails from children who are getting outside in our local area for some fresh air and exercise. Why not have a go at a challenge?
Here is your Padlet for today - https://padlet.com/j_wendt/s63725akmfjzrsd2

Happy Tuesday Ravensbury!
I hope you are well and you managed to get out yesterday before the thunderstorms. It’s a bit cooler today but hopefully we’ll have some sunshine later.
You can see my butterfly buffet challenge at the bottom. The butterflies didn’t come but there were a couple of visitors and this morning half of the peach I put out had gone! I wonder who enjoyed it. What do you think?
Today your challenge is to go outside, find some wildlife and then google facts about them. What’s the most interesting fact you can find? Write down your answers and send a photo or send a short video in telling us what you’ve discovered about our wild friends outside.
Have a terrific Tuesday

Good morning Ravensbury!
Welcome to week 3 of our Summer Term and the beginning of our third week going wild. Did you manage to find something wild over the weekend?
I went to our local woods with my family and I hugged a tree. It made me smile, as you can see in the photo at the bottom. Send in your photos if anything you got up to over the weekend.
Today we are going to help our fluttery friends by giving them a treat. See what visits your garden when you put out a sugary buffet for the wildlife. I'm hoping I get some butterflies.

Thank you to the lovely children in these photos for completing the hug-a-tree challenge. I think there was some hug-my-family too! Plus take a look at some of our children in school, enjoying going wild at break time. Great big smiles from everyone.
