Year2

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.

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.

It’s been a busy term in Year 2. The children have enjoyed learning about the beauty all around them and loved exploring the outdoors with our groegraphy fieldwork. As part of our science learning about materials, the children explored how materials can be changed. We used folding, bending and twisting to create our own clay owl artwork.

In art, we learnt about the artist, Jo Grundy, where we created our own artwork inspired by her paintings, ‘Harvest Song’ and ‘Still Waters’.

The children also enjoyed learning to sew this term. As part of our design technology, the children designed their own puppet based on a character from a traditional story. They learnt to sew a running stitch and had great fun embellishing their designs. Can you spot any familiar characters?

It has been a fun-packed term, filled with lots of great learning.

Thanks for all your support this term.

Wow – what a great start to the new term! We have been so impressed with how the children have settled back into school-life and their positive attitude towards all their learning. As part of our new project, ‘Beauty on my Doorstep’, the children have been learning about our local area and finding out about physical and human features in and around our school. They have also been enjoying being scientists through investigating different materials and how they can be changed.

As part of our English learning, the children have loved writing about ‘The Three Little Wolves and the Big Bad Pig’ and we are looking forward to writing our own versions in the coming week.

We look forward to seeing many of you at our Key Information Session on Thursday 21st September to hear more about what your child will be learning in Year 2.
