Year 2 Friday Blog- 28.2.25

English

We have been analysing the poem The Owl and the Pussy-Cat by Edward Lear. We listened to the poem being read aloud and discussed various aspects of the poem. Following this, we made notes and drew pictures to record what we could hear in the poem. We also collected new vocabulary from the poem and found the definitions on Word Hippo.

Maths

In our maths lessons this week we have been focusing on the topic of Measurement. We have been choosing and using the correct equipment to measure length and height in centimetres and metres.  We all enjoyed playing a measuring game where we had to pick up a card numbered from 1-20. We then had to estimate and measure which lines on our games board were the same length as the number shown on the card selected. 

We have also been ordering the values of three or more lengths or heights.

RE

We have started our new topic of Easter.The children became detectives looking for an early signs of spring. These were then recorded in the form of drawings and writing. We thought about the before and after e.g. a tree- bare branches (looks dead), buds (alive with new leaves). We then thought about what happens next.

Art

During our Art sessions, we have been studying Picasso. The children looked at how Picasso's style changed over the years and discussed which paintings they preferred and why.
