Flotsam and Fractions Appear This Week for Year 2

Sun, sand and it feels like we are on Swanage beach again! What a delight it has been to have a sunny week at school.

The sunny weather has made us all hot and happy. The children have become wonderful storytellers, using the David Weisner Flotsam story as their inspiration. They took the special underwater camera from the story on exciting adventures. We also put our maths skills to the test using our problem-solving strategies to see how many triangles can fit in a large triangle and how many squares can fit in a large square. This took a lot of figuring out and experimentation, which was fun. We also found out how many times we could divide a large square into different fractions. The children have all been rehearsing their lines for the Review of the Year which they cannot wait to deliver at the Pre-Prep Parents’ Tea and Prizegiving.
