13.01.23 Week in review
Posted: Jan 13, 2023 by: Greg Hobson (GHobson) on: Class 2
Good afternoon everyone,
What a lovely week we have had here in class two!
The kick the blog off, we have enjoyed more from the Katie Morag treasury book and loved listening to Katie Morag and Tiresome Ted. The class did a super job writing a diary entry from the point of view of Katie (who was extremely grumpy)!
During maths, year two have been exploring 3D shapes and have been brilliant shape detectives, identifying vertices, edges and faces!
Yesterday, we grabbed lots of computers and loaded up purple mash for a computing music hybrid lesson! We used the 2sequence software to create our very own electronic music. We reviewed some of the music that the class created and I must say that there are some budding music producers in the pipeline. We discussed tempo, volume and beats during a very active and noisy lesson!
Never eat shredded wheat! Never eat salt water! Never eat soggy waffles! Naughty elephants squirt water! These are just a few of the mnemonics that the class had for remembering the four main compass directions during geography. We had world maps out and were looking at different oceans and continents locations in comparison to one another.
In our outdoor learning session, Bluebells did a great job recreating the Isle of Struay where Katie Morag lives. They looked carefully at the map and thought about geographical features such as beaches, harbours, hills and forests then worked in in teams to build their own islands. They also started to add some man made features such as the lighthouse and cottages.
