Year 2

This week we went to visit the Life Education Bus as part of our PSHE learning.  We thought about our bodies and the amazing things they can do - we retrieved Science learning from the Autumn term about digestion and circulation - we thought about the broad range of emotions we feel and why we…

A new term and a new unit started in Mathematics - Fractions. We have been remembering the new vocabulary of numerator and denominator and thinking about what these numbers tell us when written in a fraction. In this unit we will be finding fractions of shapes, objects and quantities.

Thank you to all the pupils in year 2 who took part in creating beautiful Easter Bonnets and singing so well in the Easter Coffee Morning - we have all had a really good time. Well done to the winners too!

A busy week getting to the end of our units in History and Science, lots to do and…

A busy week this week and the highlight, of course, was our trip to Rockingham Castle. We had a great time visiting the castle and having a look around the building - those bell towers at the front were REALLY tall! As we walked around the castle we were able to see where Henry VIII would have…

This week we were lucky enough to get inside the Science Dome! What a fantastic opportunity to see into space and consider what might be far away into sky. The children enjoyed the experience and asked lots of really great questions about constellations and planets. This is a great foundation for…

We have begun work on our new class text with a unit about Greek Myths.  We will be reading and writing about the stories 'In the beginning and Pandora's Box'. We have had fun thinking about whether we would have left the box alone . . . or would we have opened it?

This week we have been thinking hard about multiplication and division and the relationship between the two.  We have drawn arrays and explored how the patterns in arrays help us to visualise and represent multiplication.

We have been thinking too about how we create the correct colours for our…

We have had a great week this week getting stuck into the science and Art units. In Science we have been thinking about electricity - and which appliances in our homes use mains electricity or use power from a battery.

In Art we have begun drawing the outline of our self-portraits. Getting the…

This week we have been working on our new Geography unit The British Isles.  I was very impressed to see that we had remembered the names of countries in the UK from the Year 1 Unit.  We used our map skills to locate two small islands, The Isle of Man and the Isle of Wight.  We will be continuing…

We have started our work on fables in English. We have explored what fables are and the wise lessons we can learn from them in each story and we have read our first fable 'Woolly Wolf'. We are learning the rules for changing verbs into past tense verbs - there are so many!

This week we also…

Happy new year and welcome back!

We have some exciting learning planned for this first half of the spring term including, fables in English, geometry in maths, Electricity in Science and the United Kingdom in Geography - and of course much much more! We are also starting our swimming sessions…

We had a great time on DT day cooking.  We made pizza and gingerbread and I think most of the children took some samples of their cooking home to share too!

We learnt about pizza coming from Naples in Italy and discussed our favourite toppings.  We also learnt about ginger being a spice and how…
