Another half term finished in 2L! The whole class produced some excellent work during our topic and have made great progress in their Literacy and Maths. We recently did some assessments with the children and they have all shown how far they have come in a short space of time with many children applying newly learned techniques in comprehension and arithmetic to great success. 

As mentioned in the homework letter our topic next half term will be the warmer parts of the globe, particularly deserts and rainforests. 

I hope the children enjoy their well earned break next week and look forward to seeing them refreshed and ready for Spring term 2!

The spellings for the first week back are : grass, pass, plant, path, temperature, hour, move, prove, improve, sure. 

Thanks

The class are making great progress as a whole in their gymnastics sessions and are developing some great skills. 

The spellings for next week are 

after, again, any, bath, only, parents, eye, fast, father, find. 
Thanks.

This week in 2L we have been carrying on with lots of work based around our topic. We researched Polar animals using ipads and books to help us create fact-files and posters. We learned more about Polar explorers and discussed what we would take if we went on an expedition. In literacy we wrote the story of the Snow Queen in our own words. Most of the writing so far is fantastic! In Science we looked in the playground at which animals live there. In Maths we looked in more detail at placing numbers on a number line and place value.

This week the spellings are:

patting patted humming hummed dropping dropped sadder saddest runner runny

It has been a good week in 2L this week. We have been finding out about Antarctic explorers in our topic work including Ernest Shackleton and Robert Scott. On Thursday morning we made the most of the Antarctic conditions and went for a walk in the park to help us imagine what trekking through even colder conditions must have been like! In Maths we worked hard to understand fractions of shapes and amounts. 

In Art this week we looked at the work of an the artist Ted Harrison and used oil pastels to begin to create our own wintery, colourful, mountain scenes. 

Spellings given out this week are:

hiking, hiked, hiker, nicer, nicest, shiny, being, shining, scary, scaring.
