Autumn 1
English
Year 2JB have been retelling the story of 'How to Catch a Star' by Oliver Jeffers. We began by reading the story and creating a story map of the events of the story. We even made actions to go with our story map and learned them off by heart! After this, we began to write our story. The whole class worked extremely hard and produced some outstanding pieces of work! Miss Burn and Miss Duggan were extremely impressed!
Maths
Our topic in maths this half term has been 'Number and Place Value'. The children have thoroughly enjoyed using base 10 to explore the place value of numbers up to 100. At the end of the topic, we recapped our learning of counting in 2s, 5s and 10s using cubes and even Lego! Who knew Lego could be used in maths? We have started to look at counting in 4s as well, something that is new to Year 2, and we have made an excellent start.
At the end of this half term, we have moved on to our new 'Addition and Subtraction' unit. We have wowed Miss Burn and Mrs Begum with our knowledge of number bonds to 10 and fact families and we have loved being able to use tens frames to support our knowledge.
We can't wait to see what we get up to in maths in Autumn 2!
