Welcome to Year 2 - Pine

Mrs Willer

In Year 2, we have been enjoying the text The Dragon Machine in Literacy. The children have written letters of advice to the main character, George. They have also been creating expanded noun phrases to describe the dragon machine and have written a packing list for George. We are yet to find out whether George can solve his problem!

In Maths, we have been looking at statistics. The children have explored data presented in tally charts, block diagrams, and pictograms. They have answered questions about the information shown, as well as having a go at creating their own. Recently, they impressed me by correctly using keys in pictograms that represent more than one.

During our Magnificent Monarchs unit, we have continued to learn about significant monarchs and their power. We have all written letters to King Charles and are hoping to receive a response!

The class recently enjoyed their trip, which was linked to our Science learning about animals. They were an absolute joy to take to the zoo, and it was wonderful to see them being so inquisitive. As a class, we prepared some questions for our “Mini Meets” with the lions and gibbons, and then the children enjoyed an educational session entitled All the Vores!. The zoo keepers were impressed by the knowledge they already had. The class were very excited and delighted to see so many animals!

Over the next couple of weeks, we will be learning:

• Literacy: Using verbs and suffixes
• Maths: Describing turns
• History: Elizabeth II
