🌟 Year 2 Weekly Blog 🌟
We have had another busy week of learning across the curriculum!
📚 English
In English, we thought about how Katie might have felt when she was on the London Eye with the lion. We also discussed how Katie and Jack felt when the lion jumped off Tower Bridge. To help us with our writing, we gathered nouns and adjectives and used them to create noun phrases ready for our setting description.
👑 History
In History, we have been learning about the celebrations that take place when a Queen reaches an important milestone. We explored the different jubilees celebrated by Queen Elizabeth II, with a particular focus on her Platinum Jubilee. We have also been learning about Queen Victoria, finding out when she became queen and how she was related to Queen Elizabeth II.
🔬 Science
In Science, we have been investigating what humans need to survive and discussing the importance of essentials such as food, water, air and shelter.
👜 Design and Technology
In Design and Technology (DT), the children have been planning their bag designs. They have been deciding what type of bag they would like to make and choosing the fastening they would like to use.
🔢 Maths
In Maths, we have started our new unit on Addition and Subtraction. The children have been revisiting number bonds to 10, exploring fact families within 20 and identifying related facts to develop their understanding of number relationships. We have practised our times tables on Hit the Button, and the children may like to play this at home.
