In maths this week, Year 2 have been learning all about measures. They have been finding out about temperature, weight and capacity. The children have been asked to look in cookbooks for temperatures, weigh household items and make potions for the fairy godmother! What a lot of fun measuring can be!
In English and Humanities Year 2 have been learning about the topic ‘Katie Morag – An Island Home’. They have read lots of the Katie Morag books by Mairi Hedderwick, set on the fictional Isle of Struay, which is based on Coll in the Inner Hebrides.
They have made information leaflets about Struay, written a letter to Katie Morag, designed posters to advertise things to do on the island, drawn maps, planned how we would travel to Struay and written postcards from an imaginary holiday on the island. They have also enjoyed watching episodes of the Katie Morag drama programme on CBeebies!
