In maths, the children have completed the “Statistics” unit of learning. This week, focus has been on drawing and interpreting pictograms, where the symbols represent 1, 2, 5 or 10 items. Throughout the week, the children enthusiastically handled increasingly complex data, making good use of a range of number fact knowledge to support their workings out. Next week we will be moving on to geometry.
In science, we have planted broad beans in a jar to appreciate the germination process. The children had a good think about what might happen to seeds when they grow and were able to turn their ideas into questions. They are observing the seeds each morning, checking the conditions are correct, and reinforcing the scientific skill of ‘observing over time’.
Work has started on our rainforest diorama project. What a bunch of talented, creative children we have in Year 2! We will be continuing work on these next week.
Have a great weekend!
