Autumn 1

Welcome to Seahorse Class 2024-25

Week 1

Wow! What a fantastic first week we have had. We have been so impressed with how well the children have come back to school and settled into Year 2 school routines already.

PSHE - Our ideal classroom

We started the week by imagining our ideal classroom. The children were encouraged to be as imaginative as possible and shared what they would have in their "ideal" classroom. After the children had shared their thoughts - we realised how happy it made everyone feel, so we then discussed what we could all do to make everyone feel happy in our classroom. The children all wrote and decorated promises on cards, that they would do to make the classroom a "happy" place. These were then made in to a paper chain and hung in our class room.

English - Dougal's Deep Sea Diary

This week we started our first Year 2 writing journey - Dougal's deep sea diary. The children explored different sentence starters for asking questions and created their own questions when faces with a slow reveal of the front cover of our first book. We then focussed on the use of adjectives to describe how Dougal's feelings changed throughout the story and used a zone of relevance to sort the most powerful adjectives.

Maths - Number and place value

In maths this week, we focussed on numbers and place value. To start the week we began by counting by odd and even numbers, in 2's, in 5's and 10's. We then looked at how numbers can be represented in different ways. Finally to help up with teen and tens numbers we compared and ordered numbers and looked at how we can use the greater than and less than symbols (<,>) to show how numbers relate to each other.

PE - High and low body parts and beanbag control

This week we started our PE units. On Wednesday we explored starting and finishing body positions focussing on the shifting of body weight. The children explored the different ways they could move to make different body parts be as high as possible and then switch to explore movement with body parts as low as possible. On Friday, we focussed on how we can move whilst controlling a beanbag using different parts of our bodies before moving on to using hand - eye coordination to throw and catch a beanbag. The children then invented their own games involving using these skills.
