Our Pirate adventure continues...

We have had another fun filled week in Year 2!

We started off with some PSHE, looking at giving and receiving compliments and being kind and helpful. The children made their own compliment envelopes which have been stuck on their desk so they can put a compliment in there at any time.

In Forest School we have been making some natural pirate snacks which included us cutting our blackberries and apples up ourselves and making fruit winders with the mixture! How creative Year 2!

We have also been very busy getting ready for our pirate party with Year 1. This is on Monday 14th October and your child is more than welcome to bring Pirate clothes to get changed into. There have been some amazing flags and invitations made!

As you are aware, maths homework this term is focusing on number bonds and the 2.5 and 10 times tables. Here are some links that might be of use to you.

Enjoy dancing along with these times tables songs ...!

Have a great weekend!

Rainy days!

In Maths we have been learning about lines of symmetry in 2D shapes, we have also been looking around the classroom at different things we can see lines of symmetry in.

We have been continuing with our pirate theme and have been retelling the story whilst describing how the characters in the book have been feeling using some amazing adjectives! We have also started our new Pirate book 'New home for a Pirate'.

In forest school we landed on treasure island and were put to the challenge of solving riddles and tackling obstacles to find the map to the treasure. We looked like proper pirates with our bandannas on that we had made last week.

We also learnt about citizenship in PSHE, so we then understood why we have things like the national anthem for our country and why we support our country in things such as the Rugby World Cup.

Have a great weekend!
