Trip to Tesco. Week Ending: 25.11.16

This week in maths we have been learning about multiplication. We have been using different strategies to solve multiplication number sentences. “You could use an array” Theo. “You could draw pictures of groups” Tori – Mae, “You could use repeated addition” Edrich.

 In Creative Writing we imagined we were in a glass elevator. As we opened the doors we came up with our own imaginative ideas about where we were. We thought about our senses- what we could see, hear, smell, touch and taste.

During our Gym session we focused on how to hold different balances whilst on the equipment. Have a look at our Year 2 photos to see our balances.

On Wednesday afternoon we visited Tesco to find out a little bit more about where food comes from. We challenged ourselves to try different foods. 

With Mrs McLellan we made butter during our Science investigation session. We have been finding out about explanations and we read an explanation on how to create butter and then we had a go at doing it ourselves.

This morning we read the story ‘The Selfish Crocodile’ and we thought about how our behaviour can affect others. We came up with some strategies for the crocodile to use to mend his friendships.

 Congratulations to Ollie who will be taking Snowy home this weekend. Ollie answered some great questions and shared his knowledge brilliantly this week.

Well done to George who is our Star of the Week for being a supportive friend.

Don’t forget tomorrow it is the Christmas Bazaar. We look forward to seeing you. The Christmas Bazaar starts at 11am.
