They wrote a recount of the day, a thank you letter to adults that accompanied them and
created a fact-file about their favourite animals.
The Year 2 children were very well behaved on the trip and were a credit to our school.
We were very proud of them and know how much they enjoyed the trip.

This week in Year 2 we have been continuing with our Superhero/Supertato work.
At the start of the week the children created a WANTED poster for Evil Pea in which they described him
using noun phrases in the hope he will be caught soon!
The children also designed their own superhero and had to come up with their
name, costume, sidekick, arch nemesis and superpowers.
Maths
In Maths this week the children have been continuing with their work on telling the time.
They have started to look at 5 minute intervals and the difference between minutes to and minutes past.

This week the children had a chance to make their very own Supertato using a real potato!
They absolutely loved this activity and were very careful to ensure he looked just right.
Week beginning 13.6.2022
English
This week in Year 2 we have been planning and writing up our own versions of the story Supertato.
To plan their story the children completed a storyboard and thought carefully about their new characters and
setting to make it different from the original Sueprtato story.
Maths
In Maths this week the children have been recapping telling the time on a clock face including:
o'clock, half past, quarter past and quarter to.
Science
The children conducted an experiment in which they observed jelly turning from its solid state to liquid.
We used a different number of cubes in each cup (1 jelly cube, 2 jelly cubes and 3 jelly cubes) to predict and observe if
more jelly cubes means a firmer jelly when it is set.
We then added vegetables to represent the characters from Superato!
The jelly is now in the fridge and we will look at what has happened next week to see our results.
