We made Woolly Mammoths
As part of our English unit, we read and followed instructions to make our own Woolly Mammoths. Next week we will be writing instructions so that other children can read them and make their own Woolly Mammoths too.

Year 2 Expectations
Hi all, I have attached a document which outlines the end of year objectives that we aim to meet for Year 2 for each subject. Please use this document as a guideline as every child's learning is different and unique. It should help you see the expectation we have for our Year 2s and what we aim to achieve by the end of Year 2. (Taken from the Government national curriculum document)
Start the day off right!
Hi all, if you’re looking for useful apps to help support their learning - give these a try!

Weeks Commencing 23.03.2020 & 30.03.2020
White Rose MATHS ACTIVITIES
In Year 2, we follow the White Rose Maths scheme for our daily lessons. The White Rose website now has a dedicated section for Home Learning where you can access a daily maths lesson, linked to the learning we would be doing in school. Each lesson has a video for input to go through the learning, a worksheet to demonstrate understanding and an answer sheet to check over at the end. The resources are really clear and easy to use, should you wish to follow them.
Week 1 and Week 2 could be used over the Easter break, should you wish to!
Week 3 would link to the week starting Monday 20th April.
Easter holiday - English and Maths Problem Solving
Here are some fun problem-solving tasks that you might wish to attempt over the Easter break. They focus on solving problems and finding clues to discover the culprit who committed a crime! There are some tricky questions so children may need a bit of help: the answers are provided but no cheating!!
The Great Fire of London
Here is a link to a wonderful, interactive website, based on the Great Fire of London. Make sure you have the volume turned on so that you can hear the story and instructions.
http://www.fireoflondon.org.uk/
When you have finished, you might like to try one of these tasks.

Computing 💻
Stunnng Start - Wriggle and Crawl
Stunning Start - Muck, Mess & Mixtures
Apollo class enjoyed a messy start to our new topic ‘Muck, Mess & Mixtures’.
We created splatter pictures, bubble paint pictures, shaving foam puffy paint, firework art & ice cube painting. We even made our own potions. Finally, we completed some mini science experiments - making the felt tip man move and the paper clip float.
Framlingham Castle trip
Children had a fantastic time on our school trip. They enjoyed climbing to the top of castle to walk around it’s walls and spot the different parts they had learnt about. They also got to see the museum and objects that people in the past used in everyday life.
Apollo’s behaviour was exceptional and they all earned 4 class dojo points.
Meet the teacher
For those of you who could not make 'Meet the teacher' I have uploaded the Powerpoint so that you can see all the information that was said.
Trip Letter - Framlingham Castle
Catapults
Dear zoo, we had a lovely time! The kids had an amazing time and so did we.
In Science we are looking at animals. Ask me about different animals parts. We can even tell you that birds and fish are different because birds have wings for flying and lungs for breathing. Whereas fish have fins for swimming and gills for breathing.
We have been learning about tricky turns. We went out outside and practically turned using arrows to help us figure out what a quarter, half, three quarter and full turn was. We then went in and practised this with numicon. Some of us had a try and using our reasoning and problem solving skills on tricky problems!
We have been researching facts about Rio, Brazil and the Amazon Rainforest. We are gathering data to include in our holiday brochures which we will be writing next week...watch this space!
Hi all, as I am sure you are all now aware we are having a Camulos Carnival in year 1! This will be taking place on Thursday 23rd May 2019 at 2pm. A letter with more information will be going out next week. We hope you are all able to make it! Many thanks, Year 1.
Look at our amazing invitations!
Welcome to Rio de Vida! As part of our new topic we have been creating carnival masks and instruments. We had fun dancing and singing to carnival music and we even paraded around the playground to the beat of the music. We are loving our new topic!
We had a lovely visit from the Ambulance service! The children got to go on the ambulance and speak to a nurse. They learnt lots of new things and even got shown how to bandage up certain injuries. Take a look!
From all of us in Apollo - we hope you all have a lovely Easter break and have lots of fun!
The spellings that were sent out last week will be tested first week back after the break. This is why no new spellings were sent out.
Have a lovely break!
The children learnt all about people in our community who support us. Apollo enjoyed the fireman telling them all about their job. We even got to go in the truck! "Best day ever!" - Apollo class
