Class 2

In maths today we used the construction resources in our outdoor area to make a 3D shape pattern. We discovered  that every day objects are 3D shapes. We used bricks and crates for cuboids and pipes for cylinders. We also worked well as a team. 

In Class 2 the children made traditional ‘Chinese Red Envelopes’ in celebration of Chinese New Year! 

In maths today we were looking at the properties of 3D shapes. We made our own shape so that we could explore the number many faces, edges and vertices. 

Year 2 got creative in phonics today and used different consonant suffixes to describe the snake. Well done Year 2, some super ideas!

Today in phonics Year 2 we’re working in pairs to add the correct suffix to the root word.

As part of our Chinese New Year week Class 2 had a go at writing numbers to 10 in Chinese. 

This afternoon Class 2 took part in a live interactive STEM workshop called ‘Spaceship Earth’. We joined mission control on an exciting observation of Earth where our mission was to view our planet from space and visit the orbiting satellites. We also got lots of answers to our Space related…

Today in maths we explored and made 2D shapes out of sticks. We worked in pairs to work out how many sides and how many vertices each shape had. 

In music today we have been learning about rhythm and beats. We clapped out the beat to the famous song ‘We Will Rock You’ by Queen. We had a little help from some of our wannabe rockstars!!!

In history we have been learning about the moon landings so in English we have based our writing on the book ‘Man on the Moon’ by Simon Bartram. Today we flew to space and imagined what it would be like to step on the Moon. We used drama to express our ideas. 

In RE today we have been learning about ‘What Muslim’s Believe’. Today we got creative and painted one of Allah’s 99 Beautiful Names in Arabic and recreated an Islamic pattern. 

In History we have been learning all about the space exploration and the 1969 moon landings. Today we created our own rockets.
