London Fields Primary School

This week Year 2 learnt that 2D shapes can be joined together to make 3D shapes! We identified that a cuboid is made up of rectangular and square faces. We particularly enjoyed folding our own 3D shapes out of paper. We predicted beforehand what shape we were going to construct based on the faces our net had. 

Year 2 had a fantastic World Book Day! We loved working out who each other had come to school dressed as, and one of us dressed up as a huge book they had written themselves! 

This week in our topic, 'The Beauty of Flowers' Year 2 have been discovering artists who are inspired by flowers. They have explored the work of Jutine Blakeney and used real flowers to create their own floral portraits. It was a creative and enjoyable afternoon, with the children observing closely and experimenting with colour and position. We hope you loved seeing what they created! 

Year 2 have been learning their 5 times tables this week! We have been practicing skip counting in fives, looking at groups of 5 and have found lots of patterns in the 5 times table too. We've also been doing lots of times table chanting, which we can't wait to practice at home with you too!

We have loved learning about the Great Fire of London in Year 2. Today we became architects and redesigned London after it was destroyed by the fire in 1666. We decided we would use materials such as brick and stone to build the buildings with as these materials are not flammable. 

The children are learning all about the United Kingdom in their first Geography topic for Year 2.
