Ferris wheels

Last term, Year 2 had the very tricky job of creating Ferris wheels! 

First, we had a letter from the mayor asking us to design our Ferris wheels. We then had to test different wheels and axles to see which mechanisms worked. We spent many sessions creating our final Ferris wheels. We had to show a lot of resilience but we are really proud of our final pieces!

Helping at Home

Ways to help at home

  • Read every day
  • Practise your spellings and common exception words
  • As you read spot the sounds in words, can you find digraphs (two letters that make one sound) and trigraphs (three letters that make one sound)?
  • Count in 2s, 5s and 10s forwards and backwards
  • Learn your number bonds for all numbers to 20 (e.g number bonds to 7 are 1+6, 2+5, 3+4, etc.)
  • Practise telling the time to the hour, quarter past, half past, quarter to and as an extra challenge to 5 minute intervals (five past, ten past etc.)
  • Practise letter formation using the correct pencil grip and develop fine motor skills (peg pressing, picking pasta shells/rice with tweezers)
