Year 2 Busy, busy, busy

Well Year 2, that was a busy and learning packed week!
In Phonics we looked at the long I sound and found rules for using the different letter patterns, I look forward to seeing you using those skills in your writing now.
In English we have been looking at 'The Owl and The Pussycat' by Edward Lear, we have been trying to learn it off by heart by adding actions to the poem and we have recorded ourselves using the actions to say the poem. We then looked at the nouns and adjectives within the poem and wrote noun phrases describing other things in the poem. We decided that Edward Lear couldn't fit these into his poem and that they would go better in a story and so we finished the week by writing the story of 'The Owl and The Pussycat' with some interesting additions.
In Maths this week we have continued looking at Place Value and have discovered that when you add or subtract a 10s number, the units number stays the same. We have practised adding and subtracting 10s numbers using number squares and coins.
In Computing we began to learn how to use Powerpoint and in Geography we looked at the United Kingdom and found out more about England.
You have all worked so hard, make sure you have a big rest this weekend ready for another action packed week next week!
