We have learned lots more about Ernest Shackleton this week and his expedition to Antarctica. 

We found out that his ship got stuck in the ice and they were trapped for some time before finally the ship was crushed by the ice and sank. Luckily all of the crew escaped unhurt but we talked about how they might feel to suddenly be stuck on the ice with no shelter and no way to get home. We then created freeze-frames to show how they might be feeling....

In Maths we have been working on understanding place value in 2 digit numbers - understanding which is the 10s and which is the 1s number. 

To help with this, we have also been counting in 10s and have begun to do 'Stick 'em up' for our 10 times table too! Keep practising over the weekend as 2 house points will be given to anyone that can show Mrs Flynn or Mrs Curtis their 10x table with no mistakes by next Thursday!

Home Learning:

Due Thursday 23rd March

Home Learning for Year 2 this week is to practise working out the value of 10s and 1s (remember to use your 'Chips' and 'Peas'!) in 2 digit numbers.

Year 1 - I would like you to practise your number bonds to 20 - which 2 numbers make 20?

Please continue to practice your spellings as normal.

Don't forget - Comic Relief next Friday!
