Year 2 ‘Rainforest’ School
Year 2 had a delightful afternoon in the ‘Rainforest’ as we imagined that we travelled to India. The children were challenged with creating habitats for tigers who had jumped into my luggage. They took their time and carefully created a space where they thought their tiger would be happy. Some children reviewed their habitat and made changes after evaluating what they had done while others took great care in making sure their tiger was camouflaged from hunters. It was a wonderful afternoon with the children collaboratively working together in small groups until they were happy with the end result. We finished the session by returning to the UK via ‘Moir Airways’ and practising mindful breathing all the way home. Thank you Year 2 for your energy, enthusiasm and perseverance today.
English
Inspired by the language in the book ‘Lord of the Forest’ by Caroline Pitcher, the children wrote their own ‘I Can Hear’ poem based on the sounds in the rain forest.

In Maths we learnt the strategies of reordering and re balancing when adding e.g. 9+7 = 10+6. 11+8=10+9.
