Fun Maths Investigation Morning!

Today we had our termly fun maths morning where we swap classes and all have a go at some fun practical and hands on maths investigations. This time year 2 and year 3 mixed together and there were lots of fun activities happening. We had board games to make, dice to make, suduko puzzles, shape puzzles, tangrams as well as a problem to solve on the whiteboard and Ipad!

All the children worked so well together and it was lovely seeing everybody helping each other and working as a team.

Here we are enjoying our maths!

The Clocktower - Arenyth

This week in literacy we are watching this piece of visual literacy and basing our learning around it.

We are thinking about how the girl became a character who has to keep the cogs turning, has she done something wrong? Has she been captured?

We have been describing the village thinking about what the houses are made of, who or what might live in them, what kind of things do they do for fun in a village like this?

We have also been comparing the bright light scene in the story to the grey scene and talking about the differences in how it makes us feel.

 

You can watch the story below! Let us know what you think!

 

 

World Book Day... Roger Hargreaves

This year for World Book Day year 2 had the famous author Roger Hargreaves as their theme... We came to school making so much effort with fantastic costumes! Can you tell which character we all were?

                                     

We enjoyed some quiet reading time, reading of course many of the famous Mr Men and Little Miss books...

                                     

                                      

We then looked closely at the story of 'Mr Nodody'. We talked about why he might have felt like a MR Nobody and times when we may have felt this way. We also talked about how we could make him feel like a somebody again and linked our work into our PHSE. To finish we discussed what colour we would like to become if we were a Mr Nobody and why we would want to be that colour... Here are some ideas we came up within the carpet on our whiteboards....

Measurement

In Year 2 we have been learning about standard measurement and developing our measuring skills. 

We have been measuring the length and height of large objects using a trundle wheel, a metre ruler and a long tape measure. We measured smaller objects using a small ruler. 

Can you remember the unit of measurement we used on our small rulers?

We also measured capacity. We looked at different standard measuring jugs and containers and how much water they could hold. We had to read the measure on the container and say how much water was in it. We then moved onto collecting a certain amount in the jug that we were asked to. 

Can you remember what unit of measurement we used on our jugs?

Have a look at our photo's and have a go at the game we were playing in class.

Don't forget you need to type the full name of the unit of measurement into the game. 
If you use the capacity game you will need to type in millilitres.
If you use the length game you will needs to type in centimetres.
