Year 2 Reading for Pleasure Workshop!
We had a brilliant afternoon on Wednesday where lots of parents and carers were able to come into school and learn about our Reading for Pleasure approach. They had lots of fun taking part in reading activities involving comprehension, accuracy, fluency and expanding knowledge of texts!
We would like to say thank you to everyone who was able to come to support their children with reading!
Parliament Day
Year 2 had a fantastic day today celebrating Parliament day. We learnt about what Parliament was and who was in the Houses of Parliament. We learnt all about the House of Commons and we event spend some time debating in our very own transformed Houses of Commons debating which school trip would be the most beneficial to us and our learning. We discussed laws in the classroom and we decided on laws we think we should have for one of favourite activities of riding a bike! We were also able to hear from Year 6’s manifestos for what they think would make the perfect dream school and we were able to cast our very own vote! We really enjoyed this!
We’ve had a great day learning about our government!
English
We are learning the story of The Dragon Machine! We have learnt the story using a story map and we have been exploring the different vocabulary within the text for us to use within our very own reinvented story.
Science
We have been learning about microhabitats and what creatures live in them. We went on a hunt to find mini beasts in microhabitats around school.
Maths
In Maths we have been focusing on multiplication. We have been learning about grouping objects, counting the groups as well as the values inside. We have been building multiplication sentences and understanding that two factors make a product.
