WELCOME TO GREENAWAY CLASS
A warm welcome to Greenaway, which is our class for the children in Year 2. This class is taught by Mrs Cudmore and is supported by Mrs Mably and Miss Turner.
The children will have PE on a Monday and Wednesday afternoon. Please remember to send your child's PE kit into school in a named carrier bag ready for their PE lessons on these days.
Please take a minute to read our 'Welcome Letter' below which contains lots of useful information about life in Greenaway Class.
Weekly Routines
Monday – Homework and spellings are handed out. PE with Mrs Cudmore.
Tuesday - Visit to the library to choose a new book. Please make sure your child's library book is in their bookbag on this day so that they are able to change it for a new book if they wish to.
Wednesday - Music with Mrs Davis and PE with Mr Rickard.
Thursday - New ‘phonic’ book sent home for those children on the Little Wandle Reading Scheme.
Friday - Spelling quiz, homework folders to be returned and active mile.
Don’t forget that the children may come to school on a Friday wearing their trainers and jogging bottoms ready for our active mile in the afternoon. Please make sure that your child has a named water bottle which can be kept on their desk.
If you have any further questions or queries, no matter how big or small, then please don’t hesitate to ask. I feel very lucky to be teaching your children this year!
Meet our wonderful stars in Greenaway Class
We enjoyed receiving special messages from 'Twit Twoo' our class mascot which we sorted onto his Friendship Tree.
We had to decide if the messages we received would make our classroom a happy and safe place to learn.
Unfortunately it was too windy to do this activity outside so we made the most of the large space inside our school hall.
We enjoyed having some well earned 'golden time' after a busy morning and afternoon of learning together.
We enjoyed trying to beat our score on our magnetic dart board and counting up our total.
There were so many lovely things for us to explore.
We enjoyed working together to build models.
We have been learning all about nouns this week.
We enjoyed going on a noun hunt to see how many different nouns we could spot.
We have learnt about common nouns and proper nouns. We know that a proper noun needs to have a capital letter.
We enjoyed our first visit to the library.
There were so many lovely books to choose from.
Thank you very much to Mrs Mably who has given our library a makeover. We love it!
We enjoyed moving around the classroom during our nouns lesson. We had to decide if a word was a common noun or a proper noun.
Mrs Cudmore couldn't catch us out. We were too good at recognising common and proper nouns. Well done Greenaway Class.
We have been learning how to represent numbers using base ten and how to draw this on our whiteboard. Super recording Greenaway!
We enjoyed using the new iPads to create a fact file all about ourselves. We learnt how to take a selfie.
We used the book creator app to add a title for our work.
Next week we will add some interesting facts about ourselves before we print them off ready to go up in the corridor outside our classroom.
We took our maths learning outside this week and had fun playing a game called 'Place Value People'.
We worked in teams to represent different 2 digit numbers. Great teamwork!
We have been playing a game of 'cups and cones' during our PE session to warm up.
We tried to look for space and move as quickly as we could. We tried to keep turning the cups into cones and the cones into cups.
We have been thinking about what it means to 'attack' in sport.
We enjoyed playing a game called 'Galaxy Attackers'. We had to work together as a team to see how pieces of treasure we could collect.
We could only collect one piece of treasure at a time.
We enjoyed counting up all our treasure at the end of the session and then played the game again to see if we could beat our score.
Super teamwork today Greenaway Class. Well done!
This week we have begun our science topic on 'Living things and their habitat'.
We have been learning about the 7 life processes of living things and enjoyed sorting pictures into living things and not living things.
We have been thinking about 'Mrs Gren' to help us remember the 7 different life processes.
We have been learning about irregular action verbs during our English lessons this week.
We enjoyed working together as a team to match the past and present irregular action verbs together.
Super team work!
Great sorting!
We enjoyed sorting words into regular action verbs and irregular action verbs.
We have been thinking about the physical and human features in our local area.
Fantastic work Greenaway Class. You were able to name lots of human and physical features in our local area. Well done!
We enjoyed sharing a book with our friends.
Thank you for sharing your treasures from the beach with us.
We have been learning about the different landmarks in London.
We used the iPads to help us draw pictures of the different landmarks in London for our class display.
During our Jigsaw lesson this week we have been thinking about what it means to be responsible.
We tried to order a set of pictures from the most responsible to the least responsible.
There was lots of good discussion about the different pictures.
Well done Greenaway. We came to the conclusion that all the pictures showed good ways that we can be responsible.
