Week 2
Subtraction: Find the difference
This week, we have continued our Maths learning on Addition and Subtraction. We focused one of our sessions on finding the difference in order to subtract.
Class 2 found this concept tricky so we completed some practical learning.
Our table groups took it in turns to come to the carpet, we compared the amount of boys and girls.
The children created lines, facing each other and we noticed that there were more children in a certain group. We found the difference between the two groups and then used sentences like;
7 is 2 more than 5
The difference between 7 and 5 is 2
Well done Class 2 Mathematicians on your hard work this week!

Science Observation of Seasonal Changes: Autumn Walk
This Wednesday, Class 2 took part in an Autumn Walk in order to develop our ability to work scientifically and further our understanding of our Seasonal Changes science topic.
We looked for signs of Autumn and in pairs, completed a checklist on different signs as well as photographing and drawing further signs of Autumn we noticed.
When back in the classroom, we fed back our observations and shared the different signs of autumn they found.
Well done Class 2 Scientists on your excellent observational work this week!
