Year 2 Update Wk 12

 
 
 
Please send in the reply slips for our trip to the Eco Park if you have not already done so.

This week in Year 2 we have continued our weekly visits to the Pitch. We have been having fun trying new exercises and playing with our friends outdoors.

We have been looking at different ways we can impact the environment and discussing the choices we can make to help protect it. We have worked individually, in pairs and in groups. We have completed some super leaf paintings and our Hong Kong Skyline. Children have been using leaves and sticks from outdoors to create some wonderful pictures. We are very proud of our achievements.

We began to write our pledges and have been working in groups to think about our thinking around air, land and water pollution. 2M have created some super posters to show their ideas.

2K have been regularly checking their science experiments for decomposing and they are noting the physical changes. The children have been working in different ways to create a ‘Green Pledge’ to identify one change they can make in their daily lives to help protect the environment. Each child had the choice to choose their own type of pollution and they identified some excellent choices.

We have begun to create posters to show our thinking and have been using different media to research our key areas. We have been working on identifying information that’s important and irrelevant. We then used a ‘Before and After’ organiser to help us arrange our thoughts. Across the year, the children have been working on their listening and speaking skills as they have been sharing their learning with their peers and class teacher. We shall continue with this next week and try to identify key facts and reflect upon our pledges. As we think this is an important cause, we shall be writing persuasive letters to share our pledges with a chosen individual.
