2RS Teacher Blog

This week 2RS have been focussing on place value in maths. The children have been partitioning 2-digit numbers and partitioning them in different ways. In English we are reading a story called The Crow’s Tale and have been using adjectives to describe and extended our punctuation skills with the introduction of commas between repeated words. In D.T. this week we discussed stability and strength, we utilised our knowledge to create one of two structures. One was made using card, the other using pipe cleaners and straws. To make the structures we followed a few step-by-step videos and used our knowledge to create them. We will be finishing and testing them next week. In Geography, the children located the equator and North and South Poles on a map.
2RS also had a great time visiting the new outdoor classroom. We played some games and listened to a story. We look forward to using this area throughout the year.
