Thank you to everyone that came to ‘Stay and Multiply’. The children really enjoyed sharing the multiplication games with you. There are lots of ways to make times table learning fun and ‘sticky’. We played a range of games including: multiplication bingo, a multiplication muddle board game, times table wheels and also looked and commutativity using peg boards and cubes.
There are also some fun online games which children might like to play at home in addition to TT Rockstars and Numbots, these include:
Multiplication Arrays (commutativity)
Visitor:
Earlier this week Year 2 spoke to a virtual visitor, Professor Scourse. The children enjoyed finding out about the work of researchers in Antarctica but also what it was like to travel to and visit Antarctica too. Linked with this, the children have also designed posters encouraging people to think about how they can save the polar regions.
In Literacy, the children have enjoyed writing their own version of the story ‘The Journey Home’. The story has a powerful message about endangered animals and the impact that human activity has on the environment. You might want to share the story with your child at home.
