A shorter week but we still managed to pack in lots of learning. We started our new theme of 'Space' with a visit from the space dome and writing stories about a boy who built a rocket and went to the moon. While he was there he made friends with an alien who had crashed landed his spaceship. I was very impressed with the children's efforts, some using capital letters, full stops, finger spaces and checking their writing made sense. In maths we have been working on Subtraction and this will continue through next week. In RE we were thinking about a 'big' question 'What is heaven like?' The children enjoyed thinking about this as it was a question they couldn't get wrong and their teachers didn't know the answer! They had some very interesting ideas, expressed through drawings and discussion. In Science year 1 started their topic on materials and year 2 were investigating which materials were good at conducting electricity.

ReplyDeleteWow! What an action packed and fun filled week of learning you've all had class 2 and teachers! Everyday is a school day for all ages.
You were so lucky to travel into space in the dome. Amazing.
I've got a question for you class 2 about materials. See if you can guess what material I'm describing to you, here goes:
It keeps you warm and keeps you cool. It comes in different tones and can feel different. It repairs itself. It protects and we all have it?
What do you reckon?
