Gymnasts in training

Fantastic flexible partitioning
In maths we used the base ten to help us flexibly partition numbers to 100. We created two groups and wrote the number sentences. This helped us see that numbers can be made up in different ways.

Piet Mondrian in ICT
In our ICT lessons, year 2 have been looking at the artwork of Piet Mondrian and trying to recreate his artwork using the laptops and tablets. You can see from some of the children’s work that this is an artist who used lots of lines and bold colours in his paintings.
Fun at the monkey forest
The Puffins had a fantastic time at the Monkey Forest today. We even saw a baby monkey that had been born overnight. The children were a real credit to the school and our tour guide told us lots of interesting facts about the monkeys.

Deforestation Debate
We enjoyed using the opinion starters to argue why deforestation is a bad idea. We were very impressed with how many facts we remembered from last week!
Eid Food Tasting

Sharing stories
Several of the Puffins are really into reading at the moment. It is lovely to see virus children bringing in reading materials from home and sharing them with the rest of the class. Roald Dahl is proving to be a big hit with the class!
