Magical Maths
Year 2 have enjoyed using lots of different objects to make arrays for multiplying and dividing. We've used multiplication facts to help us divide.
arts week
We have had a fantastic time during Arts Week. We have worked together to create a canvas artwork using a famous piece of art to inspire our own creation. We've also enjoyed learning a dance for our Friday House competition.
Man on the Moon!
We are enjoying studying 'Man on the Moon (A Day in the life of Bob)'! As well as reading this silly story and using adjectives to describe the aliens and the moon, we are also looking at the moon scientifically. Turtle Class learnt about Neil Armstrong and the first moon landing this week and Lion Class began to look at craters and the phases of the moon.
A message from Ms Lockwood:
I could not be happier that I have returned to teach Lion Class! The children have been incredibly kind and considerate in helping me get around the classroom; organise resources and carry things!
Thank you very much for your patience and well-wishes whilst I recovered from surgery.
I have not been in the playground as much as usual as tackling the stairs is tiring but if you have any questions, concerns or would just like to say hello then please come up to my classroom!
