Year 2
Spring Term - Gymnastics Competition
On Wednesday, we went to Allenburys in Ware for a gymnastics competition. We started with a warm up session, then we began our floor routines in front of the judges. It felt exciting, scary and a bit embarrassing because everyone was watching us. Then we did our body management routines. We had to hold each position for five seconds. After this we split our group in half. Daisy did the beam, and the rest of the group did the vault. At the end of the competition, the judges announced that we had won the team competition. We also had some individual awards. Florence came first on floor and second in body management. Bobby came 6th on floor and Grace came 6th on body management. We were shocked that we had won it.
Autumn Week 3
Year 2 have settled in well to our new school year. Over the week we have been trying to remember all our learning from Year 1. This week we have written many interesting sentences, some of which made Miss Wales laugh. We have been focused on one more, one less, counting in ten’s and comparing numbers up to 100 in maths.
Ours science this half term is all about materials and their properties. We identified different materials in our class and school grounds. Then discussed why those materials were used for that job. The children then sorted and identifies a selection of materials, writing on whiteboards about the properties of those materials and grouping objects with the same properties.
The children had fun in computing learning how to take photographs with an Ipad. They were then tasked with taking different types of photographs. The children found action shots were the most challenging.
