Singing Poetry and Maths

What a busy week. We have been writing poetry about the natural world using descriptive language and patterns of repeated words.

Our work in maths has included solving problems using the four rules of number. Children were encouraged to use various methods to solve these problems including using blocks, drawing dots and counting with a 100 square, and all this whilst rehearsing for our production.

Our class have worked hard this week rehearsing songs, movements and words. I have been particularly proud of their willingness to take changes in routine in their stride and by their hardworking, mature attitude. We have some very good singers indeed and I expect a career in Hollywood beckons for some of our performers.

2E Poetry

Class 2E have been writing poetry this week, thinking about the five senses. They wrote a poem with the pattern 'I like the ..... of ....' (Sound, Taste, Look, Feel, Smell) The children really got into this and tried really hard to think of some good vocabulary to describe the different things they liked. They were also challenged to try to introduce some alliteration into the poem. Most of them achieved this very well.

In addition to this and our maths work on multiplication and division, the children have been practising their lines and songs for the Christmas Show. It has been a busy and tiring week.

Apologies for the absence of photos this week - my ipad has disappeared. We are working on either finding or replacing it.

Have a great weekend!

Castles, Guided Reading, Poetry, Division and Coastal features in 2C!

2C have had a busy week learning to use their designs to write instructions to build castles. Following their designs, they then built and painted their castles.

Children are getting used to rotating for Guided  Reading and carrying out handwriting, iPad activities, reading with Mr Chave or Mrs Daswani, diary writing or Phonics activities.

Poetry has been introduced this week to the class and they had a go at writing a poem about their five senses using word mats to help them.

In Maths, the class have moved on to learning about division. Learning about the symbols, language and concepts using blocks to help represent it.

In Geography the class has been learning about coastal features and which are human or physical in nature.

We hope you enjoy seeing them in action!
