Just a reminder to everyone that tomorrow we are having a taster session in Year 2 at 3pm. You will be able to sample the tasty food that everyone has been making this week with Mrs Webb. The children will also be making some stalls which they will display their home learning on. Whilst in Year 2 it would give you a chance to have a look at your childs work in their writing book.
This week the children have been using the information that they found out at the S
ealife centre to help them to plan a story. Everyone in Year 2 will write their own stories but they all have some key features the same; the main character will be a Sea Turtle, it will meet 4 different animals in 4 different countries. The children are really enjoying planning their own story thinking about what makes an interesting story and why!
In Maths we are looking at division this week. Today we were dividing (or 'sharing') using money. If the children have piggy banks it would be great for them to have the experience of sorting out real money and then sharing it between two people (coins must be equal amounts).
Also I thought I better introduce Hatch!(picture not an exact match with our Hatch) Hatch is a young Sea turtle that really wants some adventures of his own. Each day he will go home with a child in Year 2 and spend the evening with them. Hatch comes with his very own adventure book which the children can write in. They can write on the computer or straight in the book. The space at the top of the page can be for a drawing or a photograph. Already it is great to see the excitement the children are getting from taking Hatch home. Please do encourage your child to write in the book/on the computer themselves as I would like to see what they can do.
I hope to see you tomorrow at 3pm. I will put the parents evening sheets on the whiteboard in the morning. If you can not make those days or times please let me know.
Mrs Thorpe
