Yr 2 and their Talk Partners

03.02.17

Working with a "talk partner" allows children to spend more time talking in class(!), developing their thinking and extending their learning.  This has proved very effective with their ability to carry out division calculations and is growing throughout the curriculum.  Some of our photos show the children working with their talk partners to learn more about the parables that Jesus told.  They especially had to think about the message that was given in the parable of the Prodigal Son.

The week has, unfortunately, been rather wet but wet play can be good fun too, just like playing in the big playground.  You will see many of the children building and working together to create their designs as well as Mia and Mae enjoying learning about multiplication using Mia's new times table book!  Both girls were so pleased!

Our outside games lesson this week had to take place on the playground rather than on the field.  Some of the photos show what the child were doing.  Ask them about the "Noddy Relay"! 

It has been lovely to read some of the children's stories for the "500 Words" competition.  Well done in completing this, I know it was a challenging task.

Have a happy weekend!
