Year 2

RE: This week, we have been reading the account of Peter’s arrest and miraculous escape from prison after the death of Jesus. We used our lessons to role play the story to recall the key points. We then imagined that we were in the house when Peter arrived home, the children prepared questions to ask […]

Maths: This week, we concluded our topic of Position and Direction. The children used their knowledge of movement and turns to describe and record directions. The children needed to be aware of the directions the objects were facing at various times in order to complete turns correctly and turn in the right direction. We built […]

Maths: We concluded our topic on Measurement this week. The children were able to measure the temperature using thermometers and answered problem solving questions involving a variety of different temperature readings. For the remainder of the week, we moved onto describing movement. The children practically followed and gave directions with their learning partner before writing […]

Maths: This week the children built on their understanding from Year 1 to explore the difference between capacity and volume. They used containers to compare capacity and volume and recognised the capacity is the amount of liquid a container can hold and the volume is how much liquid is in the container. The children used […]

Maths: The children recapped on their Year 1 learning by comparing the mass of different objects. They initially used balance scales to compare two objects and then moved onto comparing mass using < and > and ordered objects based on their mass. In Year 1, the children experienced measuring mass using nonstandard units. In Year […]

Maths: the children compared lengths of different objects using comparison language and symbols. They used language such as longer than, shorter than, taller than, longest, shortest and tallest. The children were then able to use this knowledge and understanding to order more than two lengths from shortest to longest and vice versa. This helped the […]

Maths: This week, the children measured to the nearest centimetre using a ruler. They measured both length and height and focused on the importance of measuring from 0 rather than the end of the ruler. We then moved onto measuring larger objects using metres. The children had to think about when it is better to […]
