Found!

Today we have been writing a description for a Bear we found. We hope we can find his owner!

Story writing

As part of our LIteracy lessons we have been reading The bear and the Scary Night by Sarah Hayes. We had fun acting out the story and then writing our "iPhone" books.

Where do you live?

Today we used Google Maps to find out where we lived. We typed in our address and postcode and located on the map where our house was. It was great fun! 

On Wednesday we are going to be looking at a map of the British Isles. We are going to be locating where Blackpool is on the map. 

Can you find where Blackpool is?

A windy Monday afternoon!

We braved the windy weather today to explore our local area. We began by finding our school on Google maps and talked about the roads and buildings nearby. Conor took lots of photographs with the I pad and then we came back to school to discuss all the signs and road markings we had spotted. Tomorrow we will try and make some maps of our immediate locality. Watch this space....

All wrapped up and ready to go!

Our first week in 2GS

This week we have been thinking about the sea. We watched some video clips of stormy seas as a stimulus to create our sea collages. We thought carefully about what colours to use. 

Mrs.Wade has been busy putting up our birthdays display. February is a busy month for birthdays,but nobody has a birthday in April! We talked about which season our birthdays were in. 

Numicon

2SR have been exploring the Numicon. It was lots of fun! 

New beginnings and challenges!

Both the teachers and children in Year 2 have settled back into school life. We have been very busy organising the classrooms and finding out where everything is. We have been sharing our holiday news and hearing about what all our friends have been up to. It sounds like everyone has had a lovely summer holidays.

Mrs Harrison has set the whole school a challenge this year and this is "To get even better with our maths". Year 2 started straight away by looking at the new resource, Numicon, we have to help us.
