We are researchers

This week the children have started their research to help them to create their own information texts about animals and habitats. They will need to use many different features as they can to make their information texts interesting and easy to use.

Edmodo
The children need to login to Edmodo to find useful texts and websites to help them research. This provides them with a safe platform in which to research online. Edmodo is also a place where children can create and reply to posts, share pictures and information. It is a safe first social network as only the teachers and children in Year 2 can view them. We have asked the children to add a comment to a post from Ms Sherlock so please allow the children to access Edmodo at home if possible.

In Maths we have been busy comparing, estimating and measuring. 2JS have been measuring weight, 2KG have been measuring length whilst 2CC have been measuring capacity.

D.E.A.R

On Thursday we celebrated World Book Day by 'Dropping Everything And Reading'. In Year 2 we are now reading chapter books with the whole class. This means that the children have to focus on listening rather than rely on pictures.

A Big WELL DONE to this weeks Stars of the Week

Also CONGRATULATIONS to our Year 2 Swimmers who represented our school at the Swim meet in Singapore before the holidays. Here they are after receiving their medals in assembly.
