I think the highlight of the week was hearing every single member of Year 2 recite a poem of choice, off by heart, in the House Poetry Competition. We were treated to a superb range of poems and performances, and we look forward to cheering on the four finalists when they compete in the Grand Final on Tuesday 18th March!
In mathematics this week the children worked on measurement. They worked on measuring the length and height of a variety of objects in centimetres and metres, using rulers and meter sticks. They were able to compare and order objects using the language ‘longer than’, ‘shorter than’ and ‘taller than’.
The new topic in science this term is ‘Growth and Health’ which ties in nicely with our Life Skills topic of ‘Healthy Me’. There was plenty of enthusiasm amongst the children, discussing what makes us the healthiest and happiest beings. We look forward to developing our understanding of this vital area of study, learning what we need to keep our body healthy and how to motivate ourselves to make healthy lifestyle choices.
In RE we have launched our half term study of Sikhism, looking at the Sikh core beliefs.
Have a wonderful, relaxing weekend, and fingers crossed for some dry weather.
