Eagles have been very busy this week!

In Art, we continued with our self-portraits and added facial features and hair.  We used our colour mixing skills to apply different shades and tones.

In Literacy, we have continued to work on Ossiri and the Bala Mengro, learning about musical instruments that are played in the Traveller Community.  We have also been learning about imperative verbs and sentence structure.

In Maths, we have been developing our subtraction skills using the column method.

In computing, we designed our own algorithms to make the frog turn into a prince.  

In History, we learnt about the English Reformation and the Dissolution of the Monasteries under the rule of King Henry VIII

In Science, we learnt about electrical circuits and had lots of fun building our own and working out how to get the light bulb to turn on.

Happy new year!

We had a fantastic time at our school trip this week, visiting Lynn Museum to learn all about The Tiger Who Came To Tea.

Eagles class have started our new topics. We are learning:

Maths - adding and subtracting, using column method. The children are using equipment such as base ten and counters to support this.

Literacy - we are learning about the story of Ossiri, a young girl from a travelling family. We are thrilled to have been lent lots of lovely books to support us with this.

History - we are learning about the Tudors.

Science - we are learning about electricity. This week we looked at which items use a battery and which use mains power.

RE - we are learning about beginnings and endings. This week we thought about any new beginnings we have experienced, such as moving house.

Outdoor Learning is linked to our history this half term.

Eagles class enjoyed their Christmas Dinner today.  We had roast Turkey and all the trimmings, crackers and Christmas songs.  Eagles staff joined their class to celebrate together.

We then had a Christmas Party and shared lots of traditional Christmas party games, including a game of Santa Whispers, Pin the Nose on Rudolph, Santa Says, Snowball Racing with cotton wool balls, chopsticks and a bowl on our heads, and some games of 'Don't drop the Penny'.

Everybody had lots of fun.

We have continued to work really hard on our learning this week in Eagles class. We are also practising hard for our Nativity, concentrating on learning our lines and our songs. Busy, busy!

Maths: we have been working on adding a two digit and one digit number together, but this time crossing tens. We have learnt to exchange ten ones for a ten.

Literacy: we have learnt alliteration, rhyme and noun phrases this week, ready to start writing our own poems next week.

Geography: we have planned our own route.

DT: we created a face shape stencil and used this to cut out a fabric face.

Things to remember: read your reading book every day, practice your Nativity lines.

Eagles class team.

Eagles class have enjoyed lots of different learning this week. We cannot believe it has already been one half term together. All of the children have settled into year 2 beautifully and we are so proud of their hard work.

In Art this week we have looked at texture. We enjoyed drawing some different items of clothing and fabrics, seeing if we could show the texture of the item.

In Maths, we have learnt how to add numbers together. Some of us looked at adding two and one-digit numbers together, and some of us revised how to add two one-digit numbers together. We used bead strings to help us.

We also looked at how the numbers are ordered up to 100. We played 'first to 100', and were very competitive!
