We have been using the book 'Traction Man' by Mini Grey this week to explore characters and settings and practice writing simple sentences.
We described Traction Man and thought about what he might be saying at different points in the story. On Wednesday we explored the sink from the story and had to imagine what it would be like to swim through the washing up (and a few extra surprises!)
There's spaghetti in here! And a cloth....perhaps it's the Poisonous Dishcloth!

We will continue with this book next week, before moving on to some Space-themed texts. 

The children are enjoying their topic so far and lots have children have brought books into the class to show which is fantastic! 
Nearly everybody enjoyed their taste of 'Astronaut Ice Cream' in our lesson this week, after we watched a video of a real astronaut making lunch on the International Space Station! 



In Maths we have been thinking about number and place value - ordering numbers and counting on and back. We worked with bead-strings to find different numbers and Year 2 practiced counting in jumps of 10 from any single digit number to 100 - and beyond!

We have been thinking about the weather and seasons in Science. This week we talked about the wind and explored lots of different items to see how the wind made them move. We tested whether or not they moved more when we moved more quickly around the field too. 
We had a go at making our own wind catchers - great fun!




We really enjoyed sharing everyone's favourite books on Friday and we have some great mini reviews for our book corner. 



Home Learning - Due Thursday 22nd September

Home Learning this week is to correct the sentences and then have a go at writing a new sentence underneath - don't forget capital letters and full stops!
