Next week we are going to be thinking back to the famous explorers we have learnt about this term. We will remind ourselves of the amazing expeditions Christopher Columbus, Jessica Watson, Edith Farkas and Matthew Henson embarked on and will make posters and word mats displaying key words and events that happened. We will then choose our favourite explorer and write our own recount of their adventure. We will do this independently to proudly display on our writing walls in class! We will use time connectives, adjectives and varying sentence types to make our writing exciting.

We will be completing our unit on shape. We are going to be exploring 2D and 3D shape patterns. We will study a repeating pattern and follow the sequence to find out what the 8th, 10th etc shape will be. We will then explain how we knew what the next shape would be and will use words such as vertices, edges and faces to explain our answer.
In topic lessons next week we are going to have fun completing lots of winter and Christmas activities! We will also putting all of the skills we have learnt in drama with Miss Lizzie into practise as we perform ‘The Big Little Nativity’ to reception, year 1 and our grown ups! We cannot wait to share what we have been up to over the last few weeks. We will also take a trip to the school library to open and share books as part of our ‘Book Advent’. We have already shared some stories around the Christmas Tree.
In our MiniMe Mindfulness sessions with Abbey we have been revisiting all of the super powers we have learnt so far in year 2. We will think about what strategies we can use to calm us when we are feeling big emotions.
