We have had a great few weeks in Saffron Class.
In English we’ve thoroughly enjoyed our book ‘Tadpole’s Promise’ and can recite a simple version of the story – with actions – by heart. We have also been busy writing our narrative, remembering our capital letters, full stops and lots of juicy adjectives.
In maths we have been using base 10 and bead strings to count up to and down from 100 in tens, and comparing numbers using the mathematical vocabulary of greater than, less than and equal to.
In science we have been looking at the classification of different types of animals and the life cycle of the butterfly. We’ve really enjoyed seeing our Year 2 caterpillars change into pupa in their chrysalises, and are excited to see the next stage, the butterfly, when we visit the Butterfly House at the Horniman in week 5.
In computing we have been learning some of the tools in the Seesaw app: drawing, typing, and recording our work on camera.
We’ve also been enjoying our class story about the terrible Twits by Roald Dahl at the end of the day, and have been enthusiastically trying to learn a clapping game. We’ve been receiving lots of tokens for our great learning behaviour, teamwork and kindness which are all going towards earning our class treat later in the term. It’s been an amazing start to Year 2!
