Dear families,
Since our last blog Year 2 have settled down to new learning. In numeracy we have been learning to use ordinal numbers, understanding place value using 10p and 1p coins, adding and subtracting 10, 20 and 30 from 2 digits, telling the time to the hour and half past, giving directions and learning to measure using Metres, Centimetres and Decimetres. Measurement is tricky so we have focused on objects in the classroom and around the school to find out the best method of measuring. We also made a height chart, which we will look at again next June to see how much the children have grown.
In literacy we have been focusing on punctuation, sentence structure, proper nouns and adjectives. The children have started to write longer and more descriptive recounts, which are quite entertaining.
Our project has brought us to three different continents, where we visited Japan, Brazil and Spain. Lucia showed us different items from Japan, Hugo gave a presentation on Brazil as he lived there for a couple of years, and Jaime, Ulma, Lucia and Zahra each spoke about Spain and brought different Spanish items to class to share. Zahra also performed a Flamenco dance, what a little gem she is. We have also been writing about these countries and the different cultural elements, so do not be surprised if your child is eager to visit any of these countries!!!
As autumn is a wonder season with so many beautiful colours we took the opportunity to go for walks and gather leaves and chestnuts which we used for different art projects. We talked about why birds start to migrate in autumn and why some animals hibernate. Year 2 are fascinated with all that goes on around us.
Miss. Naomi is very happy with the childrens swimming progess and they clearly love their weekly swim session.
We celebrated Lucia, Zoey and Zo's birthdays, such delicious treats. Thank you!
Lilie has received 'The Headmaster Award' as she is an enthusiastic learner who thrives for new learning. Also, only one year ago Lilie arrived to ISG with no English and she can now speak, read and write with ease. Well done!
