We have had a lovely week in year 2/3 and the children have continued to work hard in the challenge areas.
In maths we played magnetic darts and added up our scores. In creative we collaborated and painted our own chocolate factories.
In maths we continued to measure in cm, m and mm. we realised that 10 mm is the same as 1 cm.
We read the Welsh legend ‘Gwion and the witch’ and the children later received a letter from Ceridwen the great witch. She wrote to them asking if they would to help her make and design a new potion using natural objects found around the school grounds.

This week year 2 and 3 have had a busy week doing class work, group work and in the challenge areas. In numeracy we have been learning about fractions of shapes and amounts. We have completed lots of practical tasks and games on fractions.
In literacy the children followed instructions to make a balancing bird. They talked about how easy the instructions were to follow and if they could be improved in any way. They wrote a list of bossy verbs in their books ready to write their instructions next week.
In science the children have identified and compare the suitability of a variety of everyday materials, including wood, metal, plastic, glass, brick, rock, paper. They talked about why certain materials are used instead of other materials.
