Exploring geometry, storytelling, and athletic skills as we kick off an action-packed Summer term.
Year 2 have had a great start to the Summer term.
We have had a change around in the classroom with the tables which allows us to do more collaborative group work.
In maths we have started our geometry unit, identifying and sorting polygons. We have also learned to count vertices and sides to help us with identifying them.
In English we have started a new writing unit learning how to write our own fable. We have read several creation stories from the book Tales from the Billabong and have also listened to Rudyard Kipling's Just So stories.
In PE we are starting our athletics and have been practising our running and jumping techniques ready for sports day.
