A busy week in Year 2

What a busy week we have had. We have been reading and writing information sheets in Literacy, and thinking up ideas for the fountain launch. We are all keen to do a dance!

In ICT we made bar charts of the work we did in Science rolling toy cars on different surfaces. We were all computer wizzes!

Some of us were a bit tired on Wednesday as we had been up late watching City win at Ashton Gate. Jude says he wants to go with them to Wembley!

On Thursday we had a great art lesson in which we painted our own postcards of Fairyland. We all had very different ideas. 'The painting was fun!' says Katherine. We all enjoyed experimenting with mixing the colours.

Have a fun weekend. We hope the sun comes out again.

Y2 Go Bowling

Well we've been so busy looking forward to our trip this week that time has whizzed by!
We've done lots of work on multiplication and division using grouping in maths and continued our postcard theme in English - there is some fantastic 'quality language' being used in Y2! We were able to start our focus on tennis skills outside in this wonderful sunshine - let's hope it stays this way!

Talking of sunshine we were fortunate enough to be able to walk to the Bowling Centre today in beautiful weather. We got there in record time (and Mrs Shore would like to apologise again to the wonderful parent volunteers for the rapid pace maintained....!) which meant we were able to have extra bowling time. The class loved it and listened very carefully to the instructions given by the organisers. Everyone behaved excellently and walked very sensibly.
Well done Y2 - Luckwell is very proud of you!

Next week we hope to start using our fountain - watch this space for photographs.
Have a lovely weekend, everyone!

1st May 2008

This week we have been writing postcards in Literacy and reading Little Red Riding Hood. We set the story to music with Mrs Thwaites. It was fantastic!

We have also been learning how to make series circuits in Science.

"I liked building the bigger circuits with more bulbs" said Kitty. "They got dimmer!"

Max discovered how to make a special kind of circuit called a series circuit.

We enjoyed singing the "Jump down, turnaround" song in singing assembly.

In Numeracy we used our skills in addition and subtraction to solve word problems.

In PE we have been bouncing large balls and have made up our own games.

Happy Bank Holiday everyone!
