They looked at intervals on a number line that were multiples of 10, then considered the numbers that lie between multiples of 10. We have been so impressed with the children’s ability to check the start and end points of the number lines and the different number of intervals when estimating values – to avoid making any unnecessary mistakes!
In English, we have completed the much-loved story of “Too Much Talk” and the children were able to retell the ending of the story in their own words. A focus was placed on adding inverted commas to speech as well as finding alternative words for ‘said’. What a lot of wonderful story-tellers we have in our midst. We can’t wait to get started on our new poetry unit next week.
In our humanities work the children’s focus was to be able to explain where hot and cold countries are located in the world. They are now starting to be able to name climate zones around the world using key words (Temperate, Polar, Arid, Tropical, Mediterranean, Mountains). This will support the children when learning about African animals, and how hot and cold countries affects animals in their habitats.
This week, four Year 2 children represented Hampton Pre-Prep at the annual ‘Fun with Numbers’ event, alongside pupils from nine local partner schools. They worked together to solve a range of maths challenges and enjoyed applying their problem-solving skills in a new setting. Well done to all who took part.
Have a super, sunny weekend!
