Super Stars in Year 2!

    Well done to Tasya, this week's star of the week. She has tried very hard to improve both her English and Maths, completing tasks independently showing amazing concentration! I loved the work on the Polar Region as a habitat, identifying the weather conditions and the animals that live there.

Maths

This week we have started on symmetry and using mirrors to reflect patterns. The children have all been able to identify lines of symmetry in 2D shapes and in items around the class. We noticed that squares, butterflies and sometimes faces all have lines of symmetry. 

English

Carrying on with our book- The Bog Baby, children have completed descriptions of Bog Baby using similes, I was very impressed.

"Bog Baby is blue like the sea." Well done Misha.

"The Bog Baby is little like a mouse." Great Masha

Bog Baby's tail is as sharp as a dragon's tail." Great imagery Artyom.

"Bog Baby is round and blue like a globe."  Two images used by Dasha.

"Bog Baby is round like a ball."  Good simile Vanya.

"Bog Baby has little wings like petals, very little." Added detail too, Melaniya.

"Bog Baby is small like a frog." Well done Tasya.

"Bog Baby is little like a fly." Good simile, Amalia.

"Bog Baby is soft like jelly." Good vocabulary Varya.

"Bog Baby is round like the sun." Wonderful Anastasia.

Phonics

This week's sound has been 'ar' we have explored different 'ar' vocabulary and used dictionaries to check our spelling of 'ar' words- Great work!

Topic

   We have been continuing with Habitats this week. The children have been looking closely at Polar Regions, Deserts, Woodlands and Oceans. They have explored the location of these on a globe and discussed how this affects the weather climate. We noticed that the cold habitats are at the top and bottom of a globe and the hotter areas are near the equator. We then drew and wrote about the different habitats identifying which animals would live there and what they would use for shelter and what they would eat and drink. 

   Next week we are going to look at what makes us happy and what we need in our habitats. I am sure this will be a very interesting discussion! 

Please note that homework will now be sent out on a Friday and be collected back on a Thursday. Please try and return books on time in order for books to be changed and new homework to be put into folders.
