Year 2

   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. 

Week beginning 20.6.2022

English

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.

Art / D.T.

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.
