Welcome to Year 2 2018

Welcome to my Learning Journey for 2018.

I am in Year 2, Room 8 and my teacher is Miss Clegg.

2017 Art Exhibition

Our Art Exhibition theme for 2017 is 'We are Elm Park.' We decided to look at the flowers we could see around our school.

Room 4 practiced sketching the flowers before we decided to make them using paper. We looked at our sketches to see how many petals our flowers had. We all made two flowers that were the same that we had seen around the school; a daisy and a daffodil. The other flowers were chosen by us.

We made vases out of paper and cut out little designs.

Lauren: 'I like the flowers and hearts on my vase the most.'

Using onomatopoeia in Reading

We have been Reading with Miss Lee this term. 

Our learning has been based around fireworks because it was Guy Fawkes day. 

We made a sentence about our fireworks too.

Look at the awesome art we made with our Reading groups!

All About Shapes

This term Room 4 has been learning about Shapes. We have been looking around our school for different shapes that we can find (we found lots on the playground!) 

After we found the shapes, we looked at the qualities of each shape, like how many sides they had.

Miss Donnell took us outside and we drew some of the shapes we had seen around our school. In the middle we wrote how many sides they had.

These are my shapes.

Getting Ready for Writing

I am an awesome writer!

*I can get the tools I need for writing e.g. book, word cards, pencil.

*I can write the date by myself.

*I can start writing in the correct direction.

*I can use some words from my blue and yellow words cards. 

Re-reading my story

We are learning to re-read to check what I read makes sense.
'I like reading stories about gymnastics!'

Groups within 5

We are learning to know groupings within 5.
'This is one of my groups.'
