The Year 2 Market

This week Year 2 have been learning about money in a real life context by setting up their own market stalls. In D&T, the children made products out of recycled materials to sell at their stalls. They also made their own purses and currency. In numeracy, the children learnt how to give change, decimal notations, and how to make amounts using different coins. In literacy, the children made persuasive posters to advertise their products and stalls.

Superb Coral Reef homework!

The Amazing Homework klaxon is ringing loud and proud, as these children show off their tremendous homework efforts. From a giant 3D crocodile to amazing underwater posters, Pink class can now be classed as coral reef experts!

Balloon Launch

As part of their topic on 'Journeys', Year Two Pink wrote messages of hope and sent them flying around into the sky on helium balloons. Some balloons are sure to travel far and wide, whilst other balloons have already finished their journeys- ending up in the trees surrounding the playground!

Making 3D shapes with Polydron and Plasticine!

Year 2 Pink put on their shape hats to investigate the number of faces, edges and vertices of 3D shapes. Using polydrons and plasticine, the children made  their own cubes, cuboids and square-based pyramids, and did such an amazing job that they earnt themselves an audio treat to accompany their construction work, in the form of "Mamma Mia" by ABBA. Great work, Perfect Pink!

JUST PRESS PLAY!

 Pink class were lucky enough to trial the 'JUST PRESS PLAY' workshop, where they wore headphones and took part in an immersive theatre experience all about The Great Fire of London! A superb interactive learning experience!

Have you seen Pink and Red crayon?

Pink and Red crayon have escaped! And they have left a shocking note for Ms Bailey explaining that they have escaped to nursery, and are never returning to Pink class again!

Inspired by the award-winning Drew Daywalt book "The Day The Crayons Quit", Pink class wrote their own story, "The Day the Crayons Escaped".

Time to show some super homework...

Some of Year 2 Pink showing off their incredible clocks. Fantastic to see how differently each child approached the task - clearly not a minute of homework time was wasted!
