Oh we do like to be beside the river...

Luckily for 2D the sun was shining during our Outdoor Learning session so we went to have a bit of time by the river. We could see the 'flow' of the river and spotted bird footprints in the river bank.

We then did a blindfold trail reading braille letters and finished off with a bit of fire-lighting. 

Dark dens were made by 2F and they looked at constellations. They will hope to be star-gazing this weekend!

We have had fun with fractions! We have found parts of fractions and shaded them. Some of us even looked at equivalent fractions! 

Our famous person this week was Captain James Cook. We looked at his voyages and thought about what we would need to take with us if we were to be on Endeavour for almost 3 years!

Have a great weekend - get the fire lit and wrap up! Let's hope that there may be some snow!

Time flies when you’re having fun!

What a super fast week we have had in Year 2.

We have been fire-lighting, running a tea room (I highly recommend the Latte) and following a Braille Trail in the Woods. We also all had the opportunity to experience Shabbat as we have been learning about Judaism.We were lucky enough to share and taste the Shabbat bread which was truly delicious. We also looked at all the other artefacts that are used during Shabbat.

In maths we have been doing some very funny counting which then led to us leaning about column subtraction - they were a bit tricky! We also know about the features of bar graphs and how great they are for recording data.

Year 2 have learnt about the artist Arcimboldo made some wonderfully fruity collages. They look truly delicious! 

Our famous person this week was Florence Nightingale. We have put her life events on a timeline and seen all the wonderful things that she did for our hospitals and nurses.

Have a lovely weekend.
