Our learning this week in Year 2

English

The children are thoroughly enjoying our Paddington topic. This week, we have been using a range of conjunctions in our writing, including when, if, because, although, while, since, until, before, after and so. The children wrote some super letters to Aunt Lucy which we enjoyed sharing with one another. We have also been focusing on the use of capital letters for proper nouns when creating our own true or false quiz about the text.

Maths

In our maths lessons this week we have learning about addition and subtraction with exchange. The children have used base ten equipment to exchange tens for ones. We have also been focusing on subtraction with difference. At the end of the week, the children all worked really hard to solve word problems applying the skills learned in previous lessons.

Science

We have been learning all about living and non-living things in our science lessons this week. We used the MRS GREN poster to help us categorise photographs using the titles LIVING and NON-LIVING THINGS.

RE

Our topic this half term is Jesus Welcomes Everyone. We have been learning about The Ten Lepers Bible story this week (Luke 17:11-19). The children acted out the story in groups and we added some freeze-frame activities to depict different scenes.
