Year 2

We’ve had a fantastic week in Year 2, full of exciting learning and new adventures!

Money Matters This week, the children have continued to explore money. We've been learning how to identify different coins and notes, and practicing how to make different amounts using different combinations of coins.

Making New Friends We’ve had some new arrivals to our year 2 classes this week, welcome! This has fitted in nicely with our work on relationships in PSHE. The children have been participating in activities that help them understand the importance of kindness, honesty, and supporting one another effectively. It’s wonderful to see them working together and forming positive relationships with each other, making our classrooms feel like a supportive community.

New Text: Poles Apart This week, we started reading a fantastic new book called Poles Apart. It’s a story about a family of penguins who get lost and we’ll be using it as inspiration for some exciting writing activities. The children will explore how to structure instructions, using clear steps to guide others, and they’ll be crafting their own “how-to” instructions when a penguin gets lost in their garden!

Exploring Hot and Cold Places In our geography lessons, the children have been learning to identify the key features of hot and cold places around the world. We’ve looked at where polar regions and tropical climates are located and noticed how different they are! Year 2 know how to use the equator to decide if a country is hot or cold.

Our Production – A Great Start! The children have also begun working on our class production. Letters have come home today with costume requests and lines to learn. We can't wait to show you in a few weeks time!

 

Year 4

A WEEK OF EXPLORATION AND DISCOVERY!

What an exciting week Year 4 has had! We've been diving into new learning adventures and exploring a variety of fun topics!

In Maths, we’ve been unraveling the mystery behind multiplying and dividing numbers by 10 and 100. It’s not just about adding zeros – we’re understanding how the digits shift on the place value chart, making us true place value experts! In English, we’ve been mastering the art of instructional writing by learning how to care for a baby elf. With many of our students having younger siblings, they were able to connect with the steps involved in taking care of a tiny magical creature. Who knew writing instructions could be so much fun? In Science, we’ve been tuning into the world of sound! Using a range of musical instruments, we explored how vibrations create sound waves. The students had a blast discovering that sound is all around us – it’s the vibrations of objects that make the air around us buzz and create the sounds we hear. It’s been a week full of hands-on learning, exciting discoveries, and lots of creativity. We’re so proud of Year 4’s hard work and enthusiasm – keep up the fantastic effort as we continue to explore and learn together!
