Year 2 19th July Looking Back and Forth
Friday 19th July 2019 – Looking Back & Forth in Year 2
Looking back:
It’s hard to believe that we are almost at the end of our time together in Year 2. This week we have celebrated Mandela Day and the 50th anniversary of the moon landing. We also had a very busy time enjoying art and design with year 1 and reception class. Thank you to those parents who gave up their time to help us. We continued our transition theme of aliens into our maths work by explaining maths to an alien visitor. The children we very good at explaining the Earth number system and convincing the alien that he was 90 years old.
