The boys in 2W have enjoyed another busy and productive week! In Science, the boys carried out an investigation to see how exercise impacts our heart rate. Prior to conducting this investigation, the boys made predictions and then tested these by carrying out various physical activities for a minute each. They were able to conclude that when they are active their heart rate increases and understood the importance of exercise for a healthy heart.

During English lessons, the boys used effective adjectives to write a detailed description of a character from the story ‘Wild Thing’. This understanding of adjectives was further embedded during Welly Time, when the boys used adjectives to describe natural materials that they had found in the environment. Later on, in the week, the boys wrote a persuasive piece of writing entitled ‘A day at the seaside is great’. They certainly convinced the reader of the many virtues of a day at the seaside!

Our Maths focus was on securing their understanding of place value, number bonds and exploring patterns and sequences with numbers. The boys used their Maths journals to answer word problems and explain their reasoning.

Well done boys!

The boys have had an extremely busy week. They designed their own sea creatures and then wrote a descriptive piece based on their designs. The boys focused on using adjectives and conjunctions to add detail and to extend their writing. During Maths lessons, the focus was on fluency with numbers up to one hundred and revisiting partitioning.

A real highlight of the week was our Science lesson, the boys discussed the importance of a balanced diet and analysed a food pyramid. They were able to sort foods into the different food groups and designed their own healthy plate using various materials. The plates looked fantastic, please enjoy the photograph below.

To round off the week, the boys identified human and physical features of the seaside during their Geography lesson. They also used natural materials to create seaside images during Welly Time!

 

 

 

 

 

The boys have worked incredibly hard this week. They have written in great detail about the seaside and designed their own postcards based on a place that they have visited. To extend their learning further, they used an atlas to locate seaside towns and then created their own map and key.  

 During Maths, the boys have deepened their understanding of place value. They have thoroughly enjoyed challenging themselves through answering mastery questions. This was further embedded during Welly Time, when the boys went on a ‘Treasure Hunt’ to find a certain number of items. They then set out an addition or subtraction calculation using natural objects.
