There has been an intruder in Year 2! We have had very suspicious activity within our classrooms and learning areas this week. We used our inference skills to work out what had happened and who it could have possibly been breaking into our school over the holidays. CCTV has shown us that a cheeky mouse and his robot friend have left tools, design sheets and foot prints all over over classrooms.
We then created our own design just like the inventor who raided our classrooms!

The past 2 weeks in Year 2 we have been learning about money. We started last week by looking at different amounts and how we can make them. This week we have focused on adding amounts and giving change.
Over the weekend, maybe you could play shops at home and ask your children to be a shop keeper.

This week we ended our topic 'The Countryside' with a fantastic virtual farm trip where we met Farmer Dotty and learnt lots about the jobs she has to do on her farm.
We started by meeting the goats and listening to Lola the goat sing. Farmer Dotty then took us to met her sheepdog who had a very important job on the farm. She showed us how the sheepdog herds the sheep across the field each day so that they can eat different patches of grass.
We then went to the coop where we met Elizabeth the hen and all her friends. We were able to look inside the coop at 3 different types of eggs- maybe you could ask your child what colours they were?
Finally, Farmer Dotty showed us her solar panels and explained how she is using them to keep her farms electric and hot water running.
What a fantastic finish we had!
