Year 2 have had a great start back to the summer term with our new project, ‘Terrific Tanzania’. The children have been enjoying learning about Tanzania and how the country is similar or different to our country. In our art learning, we have been exploring the use of paint and have started creating some African-inspired artwork. The children loved creating their own sunsets and silouette paintings and enjoyed learning about ‘Tinga Tinga’ artwork, creating their own animal artwork.

Year 2 have started the new year and term brilliantly. This week, we have started our new project, ‘Healthy Me, Happy Me!’ where we have begun learning about healthy food and the importance of having a balance of different food groups in our diet. They are enjoying learning about ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’ and writing about his different chocolates and sweets. In our History, we have started to learn about Florence Nightingale and Mary Seacole, thinking about why we remember them. As part of our hook into our new project, the children created some artwork looking at portraits of Florence Nightingale and Mary Seacole.

Thank you for your continued support with your child’s learning.

Year 2 have enjoyed the last few weeks of term. The children loved performing ‘Prickly Hay’ to all their friends and family, they were brilliant; thank you to eveyone who came along to watch them! We have also completed our own models representing characters from the Nativity story.

Over the last week, the children have been learning about the festival of Hanukkah and the importance of light in the celebration. We learnt about the Menorah and we were creative in making our own versions.

It’s been a great term in Year 2 and we look forward to our new projects next term. We wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year with your families.

Year 2: Exploring the Great Fire

It’s been a great start back to the second half of the term. The children are loving our new project ‘Fire Fire!’, where we are learning about ‘The Great Fire of London’. The children have already learnt about how and why the fire started and are now exploring why the fire spread so rapidly. They have enjoyed exploring paint to create their own ‘Fire of London’ pictures.

In maths, we have been learning about addition and subtraction strategies, exploring ways of adding and subtracting two 2-digit numbers. The children have used base 10 or dienes to help them solve their maths problems. In English, they have enjoyed learning about ‘The Crow’s Tale and this coming week, will be writing their own versions of the story.

Thank you for all your continued support.
