Last week in Maths we were learning about money, especially the coins we use to buy things.

We looked closely at the different coins and talked about them. We then did lots of activities in class about coins and money. These activities helped us remember the different value of the coins and understand how using different coins can make the same amount.

Our main activity was to play shops. We had to think carefully to decide which coins we would need to buy things in our shop.

Have a look at our photo's

We have a new member of FS2!

A couple of weeks ago new member joined our class. He is Lenny the Lion and he has come all the way from Kenya.

We knew he was coming when we received a letter from him. It explained that he was coming to England and wanted to come and stay with us when he arrived. That week we thought about how we could welcome him, and what he would need to know about our class. We wrote some brilliant letters to him, explaining how we would help him settle in when he arrived.

Now he's been here a couple of weeks, he has got to know a lot of us really well. He goes home with someone different from FS2 each night. We get to know all about what he gets up to because we write all about it in his diary. He has had some brilliant adventures.

Adding Up using Numicon

This week in Maths we have been practising our adding skills. We put 2 different numbers together and then counted to see how many we had altogether. We enjoyed using Numicon to help us. Have a look at our super learning in our photo's.

World Book Day 2013

Thursday the 7th March was World Book Day.

Our theme for FS2 was Fairy Stories/Traditional Tales. We really enjoyed it and many of us came to school dressed as characters from a Fairy Story or a Traditional Tale including the adults. Mrs Cameron was Red Riding Hood, Miss Kitchen was Goldilocks (we made sure we warned the Three Bears in FS1 about her!) Mrs Frisby was the lady who cooked the Gingerbread Man and Miss Clarke was Puss in Boots.

We focused on Little Red Riding Hood in FS2. We listened to the traditional tale and even read a version of the story that was written by the wolf. We decided, we didn't believe him when he said he was friendly and Grandma fell into the wardrobe by accident. In class we made our own books, writing our favourite part of the story. We designed bookmarks, acted out the story, put on puppet shows, wrote book reviews for our favourite fairy tales and built Grandma's cottage in the construction.


Jake's Grandad and Regan's Dad came into class to read to us for our 'lads and dads' session. The boys who joined in listening to their stories, really enjoyed this.

The children dressed up as characters from Fairy Stories or Traditional Tales for the day. They looked fantastic. Thank you to all the parents who got involved by putting the children in brilliant costumes. Have a look at our photo's, can you guess who we are?

World Maths Day

Yesterday was World Maths Day. The day started with Miss Morris explaining all about World Maths Day. We found out children all around the world will be playing Maths games online at the same time.

In class we got busy with lots of Maths activities.
We had...
to make Beebot move around the mat by counting the spaces and counting as we pressed his button. We had to make sure he moved the correct number of spaces to get where we wanted him to go.
to play a shape game. We rolled the dice that had different shapes on each side and then put a counter on our board for the matching shape.
to count how many blocks we used in our construction.
to order numbers in the sand.
to add up the numbers on the bottom of the ducks, in the water.
to catch the correct number of fish on the computer game.
