This week in English, we have been creating our own versions of the Oliver Jeffers story “The heart and the Bottle.” The children thought of their own location where the girl could have put her heart, ideas included “The heart in the freezer”, “The heart on the shelf” and “The heart in the volcano”.
In maths, we started looking at place value and how numbers 20-100 are composed. We have been breaking numbers down into 10s and 1s, using dienes to support our learning.
This week we have also been learning more about who The Beatles were and why their music made such an impact in the sixties. We also had a go at creating our own songs to the tune of yellow submarine.
Next week
English: We are practising and developing our performance skills, ready to share our terms learning with year 3 and 4
Maths: continuing composing numbers 20-100
Phonics: wh and ph

· Be big, bold and colourful!
· WOW badges are only 3cm, so simple designs without people or small details in them work best!
· Trademarks, logos, images of Strider will not qualify for the competition.
· Winning designs will be digitally recreated, so pupils can use pencil, crayons or pens.
