News from year 2

As you’ve surely seen on our display board, we’ve been very active in the Blue and Yellow classes!

In literacy, while learning all about writing instructions, we’ve also been engaged in our weekly spelling practice games. Focussing on one sound a week, these different activities  are designed  to help us  consolidate our knowledge of sound-spelling correspondences.

We’ve  also been  learning  all about the different types  of nouns,  and the difference between common and proper nouns.

For our first topic we’ve been learning about the 7  continents. Looking at a  power  point presentation we learned fun facts  about  each  of  the continents and recorded our  favorite facts in our detective  booklets!

Finally, we’ve also started working on our year ling project  dedicated to plastic pollution awareness.

First we  wanted to understand for ourselves that plastic never really goes away. So we  buried different  objects to see how they biodegrade… or not!

 

Then to get a better understanding of how serious the problem is, we organized  a  beach clean up during our  school trip. Look  at how much plastic, and other trash,  we  collected  in just 10  minutes!

 

We decided to make  a display  for every  one to understand how bad the situation is!

 

After all  this hard work  fun and learning  we  deserved  a  nice relaxing moment!
