Curriculum Enrichment

Computing - Pictograms

In our Computing lessons, we are learning about how to present data. We have explored how to collect and record data using tally charts. We recognised that 5 tallies would create a gate. Then we counted our tallies to find the total for each animal. Finally, we explored how this could look in a pictogram.

Grouping in Maths

In Maths, Year 2 have been learning about dividing. We have looked at using a strategy called grouping to help us find the answers to a number of division questions. Grouping is when we divide a number of objects into equal groups. We know the total number of objects and the number of objects in each group, but we do not know how many equal groups there are.

Ferris Wheels

In our DT lessons, we have been learning all about mechanisms. We have explored wheels, axles and axle holders and their importance in a ferris/fairground wheel. We explored different designs of ferris wheels before designing and creating our own from recycled materials.

World Book Day

On Thursday 6th March, we celebrated World Book Day. The children were invited to dress up as their favourite book character and we had such a fantastic array of costumes ranging from Harry Potter, The Worst Witch, Little Red Riding Hood, Alice in Wonderland and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The children have written a review about their favourite books and have created their own bookmarks, which they cannot wait to use in our reading sessions.
