Times Table Fun in Year 2

Learning times tables off by heart is one of the most important aspects of Maths.

 In Willow Class we have begun by learning our 2, 5 and 10 times tables.

Here we are using the trim trail to learn our 2s.

What is 10 lots of 2?
10 x 2 = Δ

Elm class trip to the Chevin

On Tuesday 11th October Elm class walked up to the Chevin to take part in some different Autumnal activities. Check out the pictures to see what we got up too....

We were able to identify which trees certain leaves had fallen from using this guide to help us.

We collected leaves and seeds from lots of different trees that had fallen off and were scattered al over the ground.

We came across some different insects, and some snail eggs.

We learnt what plants need to grow and played some games to show how seeds are spread:

We had a lovely morning getting wet and mucky!

Harvest festival
