Leeds United Football Coach

Today we had the first session of our Leeds United football coach training, we all really enjoyed it and were learning all about the skill of dribbling. I was really proud of how quickly you all got on with the tasks and how dedicated and sensible you all were! Here we are in action...

Maths Challenge - Solve The Number Problems

We have a new maths challenge in class this week to solve the number problems, there are addition, subtraction, multiplication and division problems, and we have to solve the problem and join the question to the answer with a rubber band!

                                         

3D Shape Video

Today in Year 2 we were consolidating some of our previous learning on shape and measurement. 

We watched a video about 3D shapes. The video is made by children and they made it to help themselves remember the properties of some 3D shapes. 

We liked it so much in Year 2 that we wanted to put it on the blog so we can watch it whenever we want, at home. Try to sing along to the catchy tune and hopefully it will help you remember the properties of the 3D shapes too.

Last week we were learning about different Easter celebrations and traditions around the world. We focused on 2 main traditions...the Greek Orthodox way of celebrating Easter and the traditional art of Pysanky egg design from Ukraine.

You can watch the video about the Greek celebration by clicking on the red eggs below!!

 

We have also been decorating eggs using the Ukraine traditional art of Pysanky. You can use this game to decorate your egg.... stamp on your design in wax (You wont see it at first) Then choose what colour wax you want in the glass.... and then use the hand to pick up the egg and dip it in the glass of ink! See what lovely colourful and interesting designs you can make.

 

Click on the Pysanky eggs below to take you to the game!

 

 

Have fun and enjoy your Easter holidays!!!! Don't eat too many eggs!!
