Wuao! Another fantastic week in Year 2!
This week has been full of exciting learning experiences and the children have truly embraced every moment. One of the highlights was during our Forest School session, where the rain added a magical touch to the day. As the children ventured into the quietness of the forest, they took a moment to simply listen—many of them remarked how the sound of the raindrops felt like music, a soothing symphony created by nature itself. Their ability to connect so deeply with their surroundings was a beautiful reminder of the power of outdoor learning.
History: Our timeline of trailblazers is growing, as children added more remarkable figures who have shaped the world with their courage and determination. These discussions have sparked meaningful conversations about overcoming challenges and leaving a positive mark on history, inspiring the children to reflect on their own potential to be trailblazers in the future.
English:
In English, the children have been working on their traditional stories with a twist. They’ve now completed the second and third pages of their stories and it’s been wonderful to see their creativity flourish! With a strong focus on using descriptive adjectives and adverbs.
Math:
Math lessons this week have centered on place value and reinforcing the concept through various hands-on activities. Using part-part-whole models, number lines and comparison exercises, the children have been practicing how to break down and compare numbers with increasing confidence.
Phonics:
In Phonics, we’ve continued to focus on the /ae/ sound. Through a variety of fun activities, children are becoming more skilled at identifying and using this sound in their reading and writing. It’s wonderful to see their progress already!
