Class 2

Can you spot Class 2 walking back after their outdoor french lesson? They collected leaves to make leaf people. Next week they’re going to use french vocabulary for colours and body parts to write about their leaf people.

We had a fantastic day at Packington Farm yesterday. We learnt all about the animals they keep there, made dens for animals, walked through the forest, learnt about where our food comes from and made forest school art pictures. Thank you Class 1 for inviting us along. 

We’re really enjoying White Rose Maths in Class 2. Year 1 have been starting to problem solve in maths this week by looking for the missing numbers and working out whether statements are true or false. 

So far this half term we’ve been learning the skills needed to play football. We spent a week learning to dribble the ball, then we learnt to pass it, aim it and this week we’ve been trying to take it off of each other as we’re moving. 
 

This week in PE we were learning to aim the ball to score a goal. We played battleships by trying to shoot the ball at different coloured cones to sink them. Can you practise aiming a football at home?

We finished our Dear Zoo unit in English by reading our Dear Zoo stories to each other. It was lovely to share our stories with each other and find out what each other’s perfect pet was at the end. 

Class 2 flew like eagles this afternoon in their cookery lesson with our school chef. We took responsibility for cooking lunch for the school by picking and washing beetroot, chopping it and then whisking eggs to make a quiche. 
 

I hope the other classes enjoy tasting the quiche we’ve made…

This morning we had our maths lesson in the sunshine. We used part whole models to count how many tens and ones were in numbers to 100. 

I'll post an overview of topics on the website regularly so you can talk about the topics at home and bring in any artefacts/books/work you might like to share with us. I'll share a few ideas of projects you can do at home to support and inspire learning.
