Saving vs. spending in Year 2
Spending vs. saving and needs vs. wants
Spending vs. saving and needs vs. wants
We have been working on our resilience and kindness so far this week! Yesterday, we talked about how using positive and kind words can help others and ourselves develop our resilience. To put our learning into action, we undertook some tricky tasks and encouraged our partners to keep trying! We know that making mistakes is how we learn! But also... we love speed stacking in Year 2!
What a lovely way to end the term with the Easter Bonnett Parade! From us to you, have a wonderful Easter Break and we will see you back at school on Tuesday 22nd April!
Team Amin-McCurry were joined by year 5 today as they shared some fantastic fables.
Thank you parents and carers for your support!
We had a delightful trip to library on Thursday morning. The children eagerly explored shelves filled with colourful books, laughing and looking at stories, and were also able to borrow and return books. Thank you to all parents and carers who joined us! What a brilliant community library for us all!
Please find attached the last spellings of the term. They will be tested on Thursday 3rd April as we are not here next Friday!
Rocksteady concerts always bring such an energetic and fun vibe. The drumming and bass were brilliant — and with great vocals, keyboards and guitars, it was a blast! What was your favourite part of the show?
Year 2 were back outside for Maths on Friday morning dressed in blue to explore sharing, another foundation for division. It was a bit tricky but lots of fun! Why not ask us to show you how to do it! Remind us to check how many groups to draw! Thank you, parents and carers, for your support with raising money for Great Ormond Street Hospital on behalf of Marina in Year 6!
It's Monday! At RAPS, Monday morning gives us a chance to choose from different activities to channel our energy in a positive way. These mindful activities help us to focus, stay present and express how we are feeling. This morning, we have had everything from making peg board flags to making 'blueberries and pizza', from sorting coloured cubes to building pyramid traps! Ask us all about it!
Today, we learnt about the Wright Brothers, Wilbur and Orville, and started to explore the world of inventions, with a special focus on moments in the history of flight. Team Amin-McCurry have been learning about how the groundbreaking ideas and discoveries in aviation have shaped the world we live in today. From the very first flights to the marvels of modern aircraft, we then had a go at piecing history chronologically ourselves. Ask us all about it!
Today, Year 2 started to explore division! We thought about what the division symbol means and about what division sentences represent – sharing equally! Then, we had a go at working out some division questions with our talk partners using counters and our steps! Grouping is much easier than we thought and we had lots of fun!
