Work Shadowing. Week Ending: 17.11.17


Hello,

 Today we came to school wearing spots and stripes to raise money for Children In Need. 

 This week we focused on money in maths. It is really important to handle money and to work out change. Have a go over the weekend counting different amounts of money with your grown ups. 

 During English we have been looking at non- fiction texts and we spoke about the features. Next week we will be writing a non-chronological report on two dinosaurs. Home learning this week is to research two of the following dinosaurs- Triceratops, Brachiosaurus, T-Rex or Stegosaurus.

 We discussed the features of a non-fiction text:
"They tell us information" Harry.G
"They have a glossary" Zac
"They have little titles- subheadings" Jemima
"They have an index" Charlie
"The index is in alphabetical order" Harry.T
Well done to Will who will be spending the weekend with Tweet our Learning Owl. Will always shows a brilliant attitude towards his learning. 

 Congratulations Jemima who is our Star of the Week for being a kind and caring friend. 

 Well done to Beech Class for their brilliant sharing assembly this morning!

We had great fun showing off our learning to the grown-ups that came in for work shadowing.

    It was great to spend some time work shadowing Jemima. I enjoyed learning about money and coins with the children and adding different values together.

Hello,  On Thursday we played basketball and had a go at some dribbling skills. Take a look at the photographs on our Year 2 page.  This week Tweet will be going home with Oliver for his 'have a go' attitude and perseverance with his learning.  Well done to Emily who is Star of the Week for supporting others with their learning.  In English we made our own firework poems and put these all together to make a Chestnut Class poetry book.  In maths we have been learning about empty number lines and we used this strategy to help us take away. When you take away you always start with the biggest number.  This week we have been doing some firework dancing we thought about the shape and patterns that fireworks create.  We cannot wait to watch the Music Assembly this afternoon.
