We found some non-fiction books in the library and then looked at the different features of these types of text, such as the contents page, glossary and index, then used post-it notes to label some examples of these in our books.
This has started to help us find out lots more about Antarctica and especially penguins, which we will be working on more next week!
We have also been looking at the lifecycle of penguins and talked lots about the roles of the mother and father in caring for penguin chicks after watching a clip from the 'Frozen Planet' series.
In Maths we have been thinking about position and direction and have learned a 'trick' to help you tell which hand is your left one. We have started to try to work out half and quarter turns which has been quite tricky - keep practising over the weekend!
Billy was in the Golden Book this week for settling in really well to our class and trying really hard with everything he has been asked to do.
Well done to Jack for winning a medal and trophy for his Judo - we loved seeing them in class and in Golden Book assembly!
A huge well done to Sophia L for some beautiful handwriting - you have given the rest of Year 2 something to aim for!

Home Learning
Due Thursday 2nd February.
In preparation for next weeks learning I would like you to research some facts about penguins, based on the area you have chosen to research - more details in home learning books.
Please also keep practising right and left and different turns. See if you can become confident doing full, half and quarter turns by next week!
*** Don't forget Tuesday is our trip to Ipswich Ski slope for some tobogganing fun - a letter has been sent home today to remind you all to bring gloves, a spare pair of trousers, sensible footwear and a drink (even if you have asked for a school packed lunch to be provided) ***
