A busy week 2 ...

Year 2 have had a very busy week indeed. We have been so impressed with their hard work and attitude to learning. 

In Maths, we have been exploring place value for numbers up to 100, using concrete resources and pictorial representations. In English this week, we created our own expanded noun phrases and used a variety of tricky conjunctions to extend our ideas when writing about the different settings from our story The River, written by Max Martin. 

In Science, we began investigating different materials. We had great discussions with our partners and practised using some new vocabulary such as 'rigid' and 'transparent'. 

We also had our first trip to the library where we go to kick back and relax with a new book. We found books written by Daisy Meadows, Enid Blyton and stories about sports too. Some of us chose a Roald Dahl book to enjoy... the same author who wrote our class story, George's Marvellous Medicine. We are really enjoying George's Marvellous Medicine and we really don't want to end! 

Take a look at some of the highlights from this week, in the pictures below.
