This week in class we have been learning about: In geography we compared hot and cold deserts. In PE we continued to create and perform a sequence with control. In Science, we continued to conduct an investigation centred around ‘suitable’ materials. In maths we introduced ‘division’ and begin to look at the 2 times table. We also attended a portraits workshop at Ferens Art Gallery and had an amazing time looking at lots of different pieces of art.

Our Flashback 4 questions have been:

1. How do we know if a piece of art is a portrait?
2. Can we share 30 into 2 equal groups?
3. What are the similarities of hot and cold deserts?
4. What do plants need in order to grow?

Next week we will be learning about: In geography we will be finalising our knowledge on hot and cold deserts going over everything we’ve learnt so far. In PE we will continue to create and perform a sequence with control. In Science, we will create our key piece which is a write up on our investigation centred around ‘suitable’ materials. In maths we will begin to look at the 5 times table. In Art we will be creating our final portrait introducing paint and using different shades and tones of one colour.

In Phonics: most of the children are now learning the Set 3 sounds (see sound mats in bookbags to support your child with their learning). Please continue to read and change their books regularly.

Our Graduate Award that we are working towards is DT- Structures and Materials Year 2 Graduate Awards - Keyingham Primary
