This afternoon year 2 have been making fruit and salad kebabs in our design and technology lesson. We designed our kebab last week which included which skills we would need to use to prepare the food. We made sure that our hands and the surfaces were clean before we started. We grated, peeled and cut the food. The best part was eating them at the end. They were delicious!

This morning year 2 have had a fabulous time at forest school.On our walk down we looked for signs of Spring. The blossom is starting to bud on the trees and the daffodils are in full bloom. We were so lucky that the sun was shining for us too. We have climbed a tree, swung in hammocks, played in the mud kitchen and lit the campfire where we toasted marshmallows!

We realise that some parents were unable to attend the reading meetings that we held last week so here is the powerpoint we used to explain how we teach reading at Ryton Infants.
Music
We have been learning our new song, Hands, Feet and Heart and learning to play the Xylophone in time with the music. We have split into two groups, one singing the main part and the other echoing the song. We have worked so hard and had a lot of fun.
Sports Festival
We had an excellent trip to Thorp for our Sports Festival. We developed our skills in throwing, catching and balancing, as well as working as a team. We had a fabulous time and cannot wait for the Summer Festival!
Sorting materials
We have been looking at materials in science this week. We sorted each object into the correct material group and began to discuss the different properties materials have. We remembered a lot about materials from Year 1. Miss Wink was very impressed!
Place Value
We have been looking at place value and counting within 100 by making tens. We grouped each of our objects and used our stem sentence to help us. There are ______ tens and ______ ones. The number is _______.
We have really enjoyed getting practical in maths and representing our numbers using different resources.
