This week, as well as looking at non-chronological reports, we have also done some spelling grammar work on alphabetical order and comparative and superlative adjectives.
We arranged ourselves into alpahbetical order as a whole class based on our first names, it took us a while to work out the order for all the names beginning with 'M' as there are so many in 2S. We then did some vocabulary work using a dictionary to look up the meanings of some of the words in the non-chronological report on Toucans that we are studying.
Using comparative and superlative adjectives, we arranged ourselves in groups according to the adjectives (eg. tall, taller, tallest), then we wrote sentences about animals using some of these adjectives.

This week in PSHE we talked our relationships with others, particularly our classmates. We discussed the qualities that make a good classmate and a good friend.
We then created our own 2S relationship web. Mrs Simmons gave the ball of wool to our Golden Tie winner Daisy and asked her to think about who she wanted to pass the wool on to and why. We loved creating our special web and it was lovely hearing about the qualities we have too.
Have a look at our photos from the lesson.

5A learnt why a warm-up routine is important and learnt about the importance of the heart in physical excercise. We learnt how to use different skills and ideas to move away from a defender. We talked in detail about the skills and tactical ideas that others are using and we even evaluated each others performance during practise. A fun lesson!

Here are some photographs of our learning.

In PSHE this week, we discussed how we show our emotions. The children decided that we usually show our emotions through facial expressions, body language and the way we act and also by what we say.
We brainstormed lots of emotions that we can show with facial expressions and discussed how some of our facial features (mouth, eyes, eyebrows) can change shape and position.
Mrs Simmons drew a large face on the whiteboard and kept drawing a new facial expression on the face. We then had to discuss which emotion we thought the face was showing and see if we could think of any other words for that emotion.
We chose an emotion and showed it with our own facial expression.

What is deconstructed role play? It is basically role play that allows children to be totally in control of their own learning, for them to take ownership of their ideas through the use of open-ended resources.
Our children listen to stories daily and can select their own books to read in our quiet area. We use puppets, props and natural materials to act out stories. Here the children are playing different roles in the story of ‘The Three Billy Goats Gruff.
