Fun with measure!

This week in maths we have been learning all about measure. We have already looked at time and we have started looking at capacity.

Capacity is what we use to measure how much liquid we have in a container.

Do you know what unit we measure capacity in?

What can we measure capacity with, a ruler, a measuring jug or weighing scales?

Here are some pictures of use experimenting with measuring capacity.

Maths outdoors and the Great Fire of London fact hunt

Welcome Back Year 2! We have had a busy few days this week, we've been making the most of the winter sunshine and getting outside!

In maths this week we have been learning to divide. First we practised by drawing circles then sharing the amount equally between the circles. The we went to the playground and used hoops and divided ourselves between the hoops.

Doing maths practically is a great way to help learn new skills.

In English we have started learning about the Great Fire of London. On Tuesday we went on a fact hunt to see what we could find out about the fire. We looked around school for different facts and pieces of information.

What can you remember about the Great Fire?

British Sign Language

Our Language of the Month is British Sign Language (BSL). We were really lucky to have visitor Elisa Murtagh, a BSL student from the University of Central Lancashire, come to teach us some signs. She told us the story of The Three Little Pigs. We learnt the signs for ‘pig’, ‘blow’ ‘hair’ and ‘chin’. See if you can guess which sign is which!

 We also learnt a bit about the deaf community, many of which use BSL in order to communicate. At John Bramston we understand that there are lots of different languages used within our school, our local community and across the country.

Article 23 Children who have any kind of disability should have special care and support, so that they can lead full and independent lives.

Article 30 Children have a right to learn and use the language and customs of their families, whether these are shared by the majority of people in the country or not.
