From the Darkest Peru…

…came a bear who liked marmalade sandwiches!

We have been learning about Paddington Bear in our topic this term and have been using the Chromebooks to find out all about the country of Peru, where Paddington is from. The children in Year 2 showed great collaboration skills to create posters informing everyone all about where Paddington is from, what he likes and where he lives now. In art they have learned how to draw Paddington and also made a little cardboard figure of him!

In English, we have been practising our comprehension skills. Each lesson we are reading a new chapter of the book ‘Harry the poisonous centipede’ and using our comprehension and inference skills to find the right information to answer questions on the text. We are reading it as a class guided reading book, taking it in turns to read a paragraph and follow the text whilst we listen. Miss Gardner and Mrs Underwood are both really impressed with how much progress each child has made with their reading over the course of the year! Well done!
