Team Brun-Cialis (Yr2)

Team B-C have started to delve into fitness circuits in PE today... which left us very tired! We will be working on building our speed, stamina and agility over the next few weeks! Today, we played Fruit Basket and learnt how to 'Kangaroo Jump', 'Cheetah Sprint' and even hop like a bunny! Ask us all about it! 

In English this week, we will be planning our own original stories so that we can enter the BBC's 500 words competition. This is a nationwide short story competition for 5-11 year olds. There are excellent prizes to be won for the children and for the school, as well as a chance to win a ticket to the star-studded final held at Windsor Castle. This year, we will also hold a school-wide competition with some local stars (Mr Holliday, Ms O and guests!) judging our in house winners!

The children will bring their plans/stories home over half-term to finish and edit. They will then need to submit these online to the BBC as well as bring them in to school on Tuesday 21^st in order to enter our school competition if they would like to. 

This week's spellings...

In maths, we are learning to count in 2s, 5s and 10s. Today we did different activities to practice counting in tens. We counted 10p coins to find a total amount. We took handfuls of counters and added them up to find how much was in each handfu

As part of our topic Homes and Habitats, we investigated food chains. We learnt some new vocabulary to help us identify the producers and consumers in food chains of various environments.

Year 2 have started to read Meerkat Mail this week and are loving learning about meerkats! As we are going to be writing our own non-chronological reports in the form of a fact file this term, we have started to research facts about meerkats to use this week! Why not ask us if we can share our growing knowledge with you? After all, we are now the meerkat experts!
