London Landmarks

Happy new year from 2J.

Our first topic is called London Landmarks and over the holiday our homework was to make a model of a famous landmark in London.

We have had some amazing models brought in to school this week with many different buildings represented.We have also enjoyed reading about how they were made and why they are famous.

Well done 2J

Pumpkin Soup

Have a look at our pictures to see the enormous pumpkin we grew on the school allotment.We also grew carrots,parsnips and leeks.We decided to make these into a soup before the holidays.We had to be very strong to cut into the pumpkin as it had a very hard skin.We then used some of it to make our soup.Mrs Raval made some flatbread to go with it.

It was delicious.

We have now finished for the holidays.

Class 2J hopes you all have a lovely rest .

Merry Christmas and a HappyNew Year.

Class 2J

The Foggy Day

On Monday we came to school in the fog.We then decided to go outside to experience this.This then inspired us to collect many adjective and adverbs to help us describe this weather.
We then wrote this class poem which we shared in the sharing assembly.
The Foggy Day
We are foggy,soggy,and wet.
It is freezing cold.
Look the leaves are damply falling down.
Can you see the cloudy soft sky?
Quick inside,it`s too cold and chilly for us.

Our photographs show how foggy it was.

This half term

Welcome back after the half term holiday.This half term is always a busy one.We are looking at the Vikings for our History topic and already the children have produced some excellent posters for their homework.
We will also be visitng the Barbican on the 15th November for a concert with the London Symphony Orchestra.We are looking forward to that.

Olympic games

Year 2 have been learning about the Olympic Games.We made up some of our own games this week.We worked in five groups and used bats,balls hoops and bean bags.

The Year6 children came and helped us.We had fun improving our PE skills and fitness.

Instructions

We have been learning how to write instructions using bossy verbs.These are verbs which tell you what to do.
We made some sandwiches ,either jam or cucumber, and photographed the different things we did.We then wrote the instructions as a draft.We then read our sentences and made them  more interesting  to read with describing words and clear instructions.

See if your child can tell you some bossy verbs.
