The Christmasaurus

Mrs Turner has been reading The Christmasaurus at home and is so in love with this magical book that she wanted to share it with Year 2!  It is too long for us to read the whole thing in class but today we looked at a small extract.  We read it together and then by ourselves then talked about what we could find out from the text and the inferences we could make.

We will be looking again at magical Christmas beans that sprout Christmas presents next week...!

Calm and peaceful Arctic writing

We spent this morning completing another lengthy piece of writing.  We wrote a description of Rocky and Sidney's Arctic home, making sure that we used lots of descriptive vocabulary.  Our stamina for writing has improved so much!

So much INSPIRE stuff being demonstrated - some children wanted extra time so that they could write EVEN MORE and everybody was really trying to be the best that they can be!

Errrrr...

Word Wizards

In Word Wizards today we enjoyed making actions for our focus words: 'excellent,' 'except,' 'certain' and 'police.' Choose one of the words and put it into a sentence. Tell someone at school or home the sentence which you have made.

We learnt about life where our visitors from the Arctic are from.

Life in the Arctic

What would life be like for our special visitors, Rocky, Sidney, Rudy and Sooty?  What would they see, hear, taste, smell and touch every day?

Multiplication Morning... with some division thrown in!

In Walnut class today, we explored more multiplication.

       

We then looked at how division is the inverse.

         

Some great Maths, well done!

Poem Detectives

We looked at a range of Wintery poems this afternoon, exploring lots of different features.
