Week beginning - Monday 23rd May

On Tuesday we had a wonderful day  at Africa Alive, Kessingland. We arrived by bus at 10.30am and began exploring the park, looking at all the different animals that  were there. I asked the children to pay particular attention to where they animals originate from as this links closely to our geography learning. At about 1pm we had out picnic and it poured with rain! After lunch we continued to look around the zoo at the animals that we had not yet seen. Shortly after this we went into the Discovery Centre where we saw the reptiles! After that we played on the play area with Year 1 and the Catfield children before jumping abroad the train for a tour of the park! Before we went home we went and saw the lions. We arrived back to school at 5.30pm!






































































 

Year 2 worked with Mrs Pell to undertake some Jubilee crafts!

























This week we have been consolidating our geography learning. We recapped our recent geography learning and presented it using large paper, questions and spider diagrams! They were able to recall lots of wonderful learning. 







We have been exploring the size and shapes and a variety of leaves this week in art. The children collected 4 leaves each, they replicated their leaves onto a variety of paper and presented them in their books.











This week we have also enjoyed sketching and painting the Queen!

In partners the children learnt a dinosaur Kenning poem and performed it to the rest of the class. After half term we will be learning about the features of a Kenning poem and planning and writing our own.

 Last week in science we were identifying the parts of a plant. The child have been able to recall the names of the parts of a plant well. The children used different materials to represent the different parts of a plant. On completion of their model, the children labelled their creations! This week the children have been learning about the functions of the parts of a plant, they recorded these in a table.  We have begun our athletics learning and preparation for sports day. This week the children recalled and added to their knowledge of long jump. We discussed the technique in detail and it was modelled to the children before having a go themselves. The children measured their own jumps using the metre sticks. The children are showing a greater understanding and confidence of measuring length this year.  Pancake making - Group 2 Our maths learning has been focused around measuring this week (frustratingly Miss Blake forgot to take any pictures earlier this week!). We began by recappin

This week we enjoyed being Geographers! Using a map of the school the children negotiated their way round and decided whether different features within the school grounds were human or physical. We shared a Powerpoint presentation to remind ourselves of what human and physical features were, along with the examples on the Powerpoint, the children were able to give their own examples too. The children used the map that I had made for them but were very resourceful in adding additional diagrams and labels to their maps.
