We have squeezed a lot into this week, finishing off our work on Ernest Shackleton with a Big Write about being part of his expedition. I am very pleased with the lovely writing produced, well done!

We have had a go at some problem solving in Maths this week, really focusing on what the question is asking us to do and what facts we already know that we can use to help us work out the answer. 

Our new science topic is 'Materials' and we began by exploring different materials and thinking about how we could describe them, using words like 'smooth/rough' or 'hard/soft'. 

In pairs we played a game where we each picked an object and had to describe it to our partner without showing them - some items were much easier to guess than others!

Home Learning:

Due Thursday  30th March

Your homework this week is to practice ‘Stick ‘em up’ with someone at home.
We have learned our 2x table and 10x table and now need to practice these so we know them really well!

Make sure you can count confidently in 2s (to at least 20) and 10s (to at least 100) 

Year 2 please also practice your counting in 5s (to at least 50).

I would also like you to practice the spellings you have been given this term as we will be checking what you have learned next week!
