Date: 20th Nov 2020 @ 4:20pm

This week in class 3 we have been reading the Percy the Park keeper story One snowy night.

The children got the chance to act out different scenes from within the book, pretending to be the different animals in the story. Take a look at some of our super freeze frames below.

We wrote some fantastic big writes, re-telling the story using super time connectives. 

In maths we have been practicing telling time to the hour. The children made their very own split pin clocks and took turns testing their friends.

What we have been learning about in class 2! (WB 16.11.20)

Date: 20th Nov 2020 @ 3:46pm

This week in class two we have been learning about the story 'Owl Babies'. As part of this learning the children all retold the story with their group using masks. They were amazing at remembering what happened in each part. For our table jobs the children sequenced the story, matched the pictures and the words and made their own versions of the books. 

In maths we have been learning about the numbers 4 and 5, the children have enjoyed using a five frame to make different amounts. We have also been experimenting with different ways to show the numbers 4 and 5 with shells, numicon, dominoes and the nuumerals. 

For our topic learning we have been learning about owls and that they are nocturnal animals, here are some pictures of the owls that we have made in the creative area!

In maths we have been looking at the numbers 4 and 5 and looking at different ways of making them. We are learning to recognise what the numbers look like without having to count them and having been spotting them in lots of different ways.

We have also been talking about e-safety and how to stay safe when using the internet.

E-Safety in Year 2

Date: 16th Nov 2020 @ 11:53pm

We have been learning about keeping safe when using the internet as part of our E-safety day. We looked at a story about Smartie the Penguin and his new tablet. We thought about the problems that Smartie had whilst playing online including pop up adverts, websites for older children and cyber bullying and what he should do in these situations. 

The children made sock puppets of Smartie, film reels of the events in the story and information posters to help other children make the right choices when using the internet.

Below are some examples of the fantastic work they have done which will be added to our new E-Safety display in the computer room.

E-safety

 

Children are getting online more than ever before which is incredibly positive for their learning and development. However, they are also exposed to certain dangers if the internet is used inappropriately.

To reduce the number of risks, it’s essential that children know how to keep themselves safe online and what to do when something isn’t quite right.
