2D Ocean Posters

2D Began creating ocean information posters this week. The children had done their own research on ocean animals, plant life and the various ocean zones.

They worked in groups of three to create a poster to show what they had found out. The posters included animal and plant life and oceanic zones with many children being particularly fascinated by what can be found in the midnight zone and deeper.

 Next week each group of three will present their poster to the rest of the class and explain what they found out.

2C Guided Reading, Fractions, Phonics, Show and Tell, Natural History ECA, Describing Fruit and Vegetables, Direction and Turns!

 Trying to make some sentences using magnetic Phonics letters!

Playing a game of Fractions Bingo! Children chose five of the selected numbers before trying to work out fractions of numbers. The first to match five answers to their five numbers wins! A fun game to try at home!       http://www.topmarks.co.uk/Flash.aspx?f=bingofractionsofamountsv3

 Children then tried to solve questions involving fractions of numbers in their exercise books.

 Mr Chave's phonics group  learning alternative pronunications of the letter U. For example, how the letter sounds in words such as 1) but, 2) unit and 3) put. Children tried to give their own examples before giving a sentence including some of the words.

 A clue for the word 'bull'!

 Good answers win house points!

 Now having a go at sorting the words (bananas) to the correct letter sounds (monkeys) on the board.

 2C love Show and Tell talking about things which are special to them! A great way to build confidence along with Speaking and Listening skills.

 Natural History ECA learning about Totem Poles and having a go at making them!

In English, children have been developing their use of descriptive language by looking at some fruits and vegetables (pumpkin, cabbage, avocado, dragon fruit, pear, banana and apple). Children came up with adjectives to describe them thinking about using their senses to think how the objects look, feel, smell, taste and sound.

 Rajveer, William and Antje on their mission for Class Dojo point domination!

Revisiting quarter and half turns with clockwise and anti-clockwise movement. Using an analogue clock face on the carpet,  children practised turning the correct direction and amount as instructed. Thank you Sasha for the use of your pink watch! Children then learnt about the points on a compass before trying to solve word problems involving turn and direction. The children used a cut out figure to help them orientate to the correct compass point.

 Looking at NAIS HK on a map and thinking about North, East, South and West directions!

 Practising some turns to see if we all end up in the correct direction!

Some more Show and Tell! Great for developing confidence in addition to speaking and listening skills in a fun and informal way!
