Year 2 have been finding complements of 100.
they played the Busy Bus game where depending what number you landed on (40) you had to say what the complement would be to make 100 (60)
The children enjoyed helping each other out.
In Maths this week we have been learning about Place Value. We have been generating 2-digit numbers from 3 single digits. Then we thought about where they would go on an empty number line.
Our topic in Art is ‘Can buildings speak?’. We have been looking at different architects and discussing the buildings they have designed. We have focussed on an artist called L.S Lowry, who created lots of paintings which include buildings. This week, we used junk modelling to create our own buildings. We first covered our boxes in plain paper so we had a blank canvas to paint on. We explored colour mixing with blue, red and yellow to create different shades of brown for our buildings. Next week we will add the final details to our buildings.
On Thursday we had our first bicycle training session. We learnt how to be safe on the bikes, to control the bikes and develop our balance and co-ordination.
In Geography we are learning all about Our Country. We used atlases to find the United Kingdom and identify the four countries of the UK as well as their capital cities and the surrounding seas.
In Year 2 we have been enjoying learning how to play Tag Rugby. We have learnt about the rules of the game and how to be part of a team.
