Moon Base

This week Year 2 have been astronauts on the moon. They explored how they would make food without gravity, they examined moon rocks and roamed the moon on their own lunar module.

Maths
This term we will be working on the four operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division). We will also be looking at measurement. We will be reading scales, comparing measurement and ordering them. We are working hard to fill our times table tree so please keep practicing your times tables at home! 

English
We often link our writing and reading to our topics. The class text for Summer 2 is 'Man on the Moon' and 'A Place for Pluto' as part of our space topic. 

In writing we are learning about writing for a range of different purposes:

- Fact files about Neil Armstrong 
- A diary from space

Launch to the moon!

Today Year 2 have travelled to the moon! When we heard our names we had to board the rocket. We laid down and we all felt nervous about the journey ahead of us. We realised that it is very uncomfortable on a rocket! When we got to the moon we had a challenge - to try and write! It wasn't easy to write upside down and some of us were worried we would get our pen licences taken off us in space!

Measuring in Maths! - June 2019

We have been learning how to use a ruler and measure in centimetres and metres. We made paper aeroplanes and measured how far they travelled in metres and centimetres. We also measured regular and irregular shapes. We realised that we needed to count the pattern to order some irregular shapes. We also used a ruler to measure each side and added it up. We then found the perimeter of the shape! We also looked at shapes and estimated which was the biggest and which was the smallest. We also had fun measuring capacity . Unfortunately, quite alot of water ended up on our desks not in our containers!

Magna Trip - June 2019

Year 2 really enjoyed their trip to Magna! We learnt all about air, water, Earth and fire.

Crime Scene - 5th June 2019

This morning Year 2 arrived in class to find a spaceship had landed in our classroom. There were footprints and the roof tile was broken! We still don't know how it got there?!

Healthy Eating - June 2019

This week is health and safety week. In Year 2 we made healthy cheesecakes. We thought they were delicious!
