Thomas Willingale School and Nursery
Summer Term
Week beginning 22nd April
In English this week the children finished their recount writing about the school visit to Lambourne Farm. They worked hard to include the features of recounts in their writing such as adverbs of time, past tense and conjunctions.
In Maths we have continued learning about fractions. The children have been able to find fractions of a number. They can identify the numerator and denominator in a fraction and can recognise unit and non-unit fractions.
In Science we have been learning about the impact of deforestation on the habitats of plants and animals in the rainforest. We then made posters to display our findings.
In our DT lessons we have been learning about different types of mechanisms and have explored how to make catapults. Then we designed a target board game to make good use of our catapults.
Have a lovely weekend!

W/C 15th April 2024
Welcome back Year 2!
We have hit the ground running with a recount of our trip to Lambourne End Farm. We have looked at what a recount is, the features and the structure of a recount. We have planned them and wrote our introduction to our recounts. We have attached some photos from our trip as a reminder of what a great day we all had!
In Maths, we have introduced fractions, we have looked at part and wholes, 1/2 and 1/4. We have been finding fractions of amounts with the children.
We have started our topics about mechanisms and seeing what type of things could be used as one. We have also done some lovely art work inspired by mechanisms.
Have a lovely weekend
