Year 2 - Materials and George and The Dragon
This week in Year Two has been busy, exciting, and full of learning!
🐉 George and the Dragon
In English, we have been reading the fantastic story George and the Dragon. We practised using adjectives and expanded noun phrases to describe the characters.
We looked closely at the brave, fearless knight and the huge, terrifying dragon with its scaly, green body and fiery breath. We even drew the dragon listening carefully to the description given to us.
Everyone worked hard to choose exciting words and build amazing expanded noun phrases and then used these in sentences.
🔍 Science: Materials Around Us
In Science, we have been learning about materials. We talked about what objects are made from and why those materials are useful. Some materials we explored were:
- wood
- plastic
- glass
- metal
- fabric
Then we went on a material hunt around the school! We became real scientists as we searched for different items and talked about the materials they were made from. We compared the materials using adjectives like hard, soft, bendy, strong, transparent, and rough.
The children have all made an excellent start to the new term and new year. Well done Year Two!
