We have been learning all about 3D shapes this week in Class 2 - we have learned the names of lots of these 'fat' shapes and stated to think carefully about their properties, such as how many edges or faces each one has, and what shape these are.

We went on a 'shape hunt' around the school - look at all the 3D shapes we found! Can you name them?

We have continued with our Alice in Wonderland story and have been working really hard on comprehension this week - not only READING part of the story and identifying adjectives and different types of punctuation that we know, but also UNDERSTANDING and EXPLAINING what we have read.

Lots more practice on this next week!

In science we have been looking at different types of materials and sorting objects based on what they are made out of or their properties, using words like rough/smooth, hard (rigid)/soft (flexible) etc

Iris was in the Golden Book this week for an absolutely fantastic piece of home learning about her trip to Italy over Easter - you had clearly worked hard on this, well done!

We also had some exciting STAR awards this week - 5 children were awarded their 'pen licence'! Normally these are only awarded in Yr3 or 4 however these children have shown that they can consistently write in neat, joined letters that are correctly formed, so a HUGE well done to 

FRANCESCA, WHITNEY, SASKIA, SOPHIA and ALFIE G  ☺

Home Learning

Due Thursday 4th May.

Home Learning this week is a 3D shape task.

Year 1 - I would like you to go on a 3D shape hunt at home and write down what you can see that is the same shape as the ones we have learned this week. How many can you find?

Year 2 - You have some shape riddles to solve! Read the clues and match them to the 3D shapes we have learned about this week.

Don't forget, Monday is a Bank Holiday so see you all on Tuesday!

Welcome back!

We hope you all had a lovely relaxing break and ready for another busy term.

Our theme for the summer term is "Welcome to Wonderland!" and came in on Wednesday to find our classroom being transformed and have added lots to this over the past few days.

We have made some giant daisies to decorate the classroom and have also created some super 'Spring' art work that will be displayed this weekend (22nd-23rd April) at Halesworth Gallery between 10:30am-4:30pm.

We will begin our topic by looking at the classic story 'Alice in Wonderland' and then move on to other wonderland stories and settings.

This week we had a go at finding out which places are the best for reading and concentrating on our work - and which places are really tricky to work in!
We decided that the best places to read are flat and somewhere where it is easy to sit. It also helps if they are quieter, so there are less distractions - as we realised Alice found out at the start of the book!

We had to unfortunately say 'Good-bye' to both Sophia B and Daniella this week as they are off to new schools - we wish them all the luck in the world in their new classes and will miss them lots!

Home Learning

I would like you all to spend some time practising all of the spelling words given last half term this weekend, as we will be checking to see what you have remembered next week!

Please also read at least a few pages of your reading book to an adult and have them sign your journal over the weekend - we will be giving extra house points to everyone that does and will be arrange a special treat if every single child in the class completes this challenge!
