Hello everyone,
It seem incredible that this is the last Friday blog post of this term! Mrs Murch and I would like to start be says a huge thank you to all of the year 2 families for all the support we have received this term; you have all made us feel very welcome here at North Tawton. In class this week, the children have all continued to work hard and do their best, despite it being the last full week of the term. They have been able to show just how much they have been learning in many different aspects of the curriculum. In English, the children have been publishing their non chronological information leaflets on Wolves. They have been learning about how to use subheadings, how to start a sentence in a variety of ways and they have thoroughly enjoyed learning lots of facts and information about wolves. In mathematics, the children have been able to put their recent learning on capacity to the test, with a practical session measuring and investigating different volumes. Again, they all worked very well and showed cooperation and teamwork skills to be able to measure in different ways, as a table team, to solve problems. Finally, the children have really enjoyed art this week. They had to collect various items from around the school with different textures. Then, using their colour mixing skills, they had to use different painting techniques to replicate the various textures. All the children work well with this and showed great focus and enthusiasm with their painting. Well done year 2. Please take the time to look at Class Dojo where you will see some photos of the above take during the week. Wishing you all a very restful and enjoyable weekend. Mrs Murch and Mr Legg

Hello everyone,
Year 2 have been working hard this week and there have been several highlights. In English, we have been enjoying our text 'Wolves' by Emily Gravett. The children have been learning all about the features of non-chronological reports and information texts. They have been looking at sub-headings and gathering facts about wolves. The children have also been learning how to gather and organise their information using a spider diagram. In mathematics, the children have been learning about mass and capacity. They have been learning how to read scales and apply this to different questions. This is a perfect area of mathematics to practise and apply at home. If at any point you are cooking and measuring ingredients over the weekend, please encourage your young person to join in and use and apply their learning in this real life context - it'll really help them back in school. Finally, the children have been continuing to develop their gymnastic sequence work, building up their sequence and each week learning new gymnastic elements and looking to improve their body tension and extension. This week, we have filmed the sequences, so that we are able to watch them back before the next session, so that the children can peer assess their work and look to make improvements. We therefore though you might like the chance to see some sequences so far, please remember these are not the finished article! Wishing you all a very restful weekend. The year 2 team. Hello everyone
What a very busy week! The children in year 2 have continued to work very hard and are all doing their best which is great to see. We have started our new English Sequence - Wolves. The children will be learning all about non fiction texts and how to write non chronological reports. In mathematics, everyone has been getting to grips with measure, focusing on units of length; comparing and problem solving. In art we have been exploring primary and secondary colour mixing and carefully looking at how to adjust these for variations of shade, in preparation for a range of painting tasks in the weeks ahead. Moreover, it was super to see so many of you attending the Parent Carer Meetings held this week. The meetings were extremely positive and reflected the children's hard work this term. It was lovely to meet so many of you and we are both very grateful for your support and appreciation. If there is anything further we can do to support your child and you at home with their learning, please do not hesitate to contact us in school. We will be happy to help in anyway we can. We hope you all have a very restful weekend, after such a full week for everyone. Best wishes The year 2 team. |
