We have been continuing our work on Little Red Reading Hood and went on a woodland walk around the school. We explored different parts of the school to help us come up with adventurous vocabulary using our 5 senses. We then turned those ideas into phrases using alliteration! Some of the alliterative phrases we thought of were; ‘Ripe, red raspberries’,
We walked around school on Monday finding the best places to sit down and read a book. These were our favourites! Our work in English for the next few weeks is based upon a picture book called Little Red Reading Hood who adores reading books and does so wherever she can.
Year 2 were learning about the Gruffalo over the first couple of weeks of term, so we decided to make some Gruffalo toadstool pizzas in Design and Technology. They went down a treat!
Year 2 are creating graphic scores to compose simple pieces of music using untuned percussion instruments. They had to consider which instruments should be playing at a time and how to organise these on the score template. They are looking forward to performing them!
Forest school last Friday was so hot so we made our own vanilla ice cream! We mixed ice and salt in one side of the ball, and cream, sugar and vanilla essence in the other. After half an hour of playing games rolling the ball we ended up with delicious ice cream!
This half term year 2 are working on their personal framework. They are working on improving their footwork skills and applying that into their lesson.
