Shake, rattle and roll

We had a lot of fun making our shakers! Today we had even more fun using the shakers in Music with Mrs Kelly. 

Design and technology!

Today's lesson was very, very hard!

We had to gold the Techno-card into shape to make the frame of our vehicle.  Then, we placed the dowel rod through the card as this would act as the axle. Lastly, we had to put the wheels in place but we needed to use sellotape to make sure that the wheels would not fall off.   

Eventually, with team work and lots of noise, we managed to complete them.  Next week, we will complete the rest of the vehicle.....phew!

Place value

Year 2 have been looking at place value in Maths. We have been using the Dienes, Numicon and cubes to make different numbers.  Can you work out what numbers the children  have made from the supporting equipment?

Dictionary!

Year 2 have been learning how to use a dictionary. The first game we played was to find words beginning with chosen letters.  Then, the children had to find a word beginning with that letter and ask their partner to find that word.

As they developed their skills, they progressed to asking their partner to find a word in the dictionary. Well done Year 2!

 

Bingo!

Welcome back!  We have already been working hard in Maths but thought we would have some fun today by playing Bingo!  The children found this a lot of fun and developed their understanding of numbers from 1 to 100.

Some children also made some number puzzles to solve by giving 5 clues to guess the number.  They even asked me to solve the puzzles! Luckily, I got them all correct. Jake even gave me a house point.  The clues they gave were excellent!
