Week ending 5.2.16

This week in English, Year 2 have been working on stories set in space, thinking about the solar system, building their own space ship and creating a planet to visit. This subject has really captured the imagination of the students and we're hoping for some amazing stories tomorrow in Big Write. In Maths we have been looking at the fractions including halves, quarters and thirds. We've also been trying to identify equivalent fractions such as two quarters equal 1 half. It's a tricky subject but the children have worked hard to understand it. In Topic we tested materials to see which would be the best for waterproofing boats, then made our boats and tested them.
