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.

Emily has improved so much during her time in year 2. She is including lots of interesting description and connectives in her writing and she has been making extra effort to get all her letters the right way round. Well done Emily keep it up!

Gymnastics in Year 2

During the last half term (Spring 1) we have been developing our Gymnastic skills in PE. We have moved from previously doing Gymnastics just using the mats on the floor, to developing our Gymnastics by transferring those skills onto apparatus.

Have a look at a slide show of photographs showing some of our work.

Games From Around The World... French Skipping!

 Today we were really lucky to have a visitor in school who taught each class a short lesson about games around the world. We learnt different tactics and games involved in French Skipping and it was so much fun!! Even the teachers had a good go! Can you remember the rhyme? Grandma put your sweatshirt on inside outside! 

Here we are enjoying ourselves... 

                                    

                                    

                                   

The Black Hat - Maia Walczak

This week in literacy we are watching the story of 'The Black Hat' by Maia Walczak. We are then having a debate as to whether animals should be kept in cages, and if there is an appropriate time etc. We have made our own cage in class so we can sit inside and see what it might feel like! Look our for the pics later in the week! We are also doing some drama to act out the story and imagining we have found our own black hat. We are having lots of fun! Photos later in the week!

Internet Safety Week

Last week in year 2 we were thinking about how we can keep ourselves safe when using the internet and what we need to remember. There were lots of ideas and lots of thought provoking situations to think about... I hope you will use the things you learnt to help you make important sensible choices when using the internet.
