English
For our second summer half term, we are focusing on the book 'The Pirates Next Door and the Monster's Gold' by Jonny Duddle. This book follows on from our summer 1 book focus and we are so excited to read it. Watch this space for some of our fantastic work.
We have read The Pirates Next Door and have started to produce a letter to Jim-Lad, from Matilda. Here are some pictures of our working wall. This week, we will add our pictures of our letters to this page.
Below, are some pictures of our alternative endings. Then, we used our performance skills to perform them to the rest of our class and peers. We were concentrating on our confidence, voice projection, hand gestures and acting at the same time. We hope you enjoy reading them!
Tamworth Castle
In May, we finally had our first school trip to Tamworth Castle. We went to Tamworth Castle as part of our Curriculum learning. We would have ideally liked to have gone in the autumn term when we did our topic but due to the pandemic we delayed it until the summer term. It was worth the long wait!
Maths
At the moment in Maths, Year 2 are focusing measure. For our first topic, we have been looking at the mass of objects using grams and the temperature using degrees Celsius. Watch this space for pictures of our amazing work.
This week, we have been applying our knowledge of measure to measure objects in our Outdoor Learning environment. See some of our pictures below.
A*Stars - Scooterbility
On Friday 10th June, Year 2 had a fantastic opportunity to complete their first A*Stars initiative. All of the children took part in Scooter training and then a Scootathlon. See some pictures of us completing our work below.
Curriculum
For our final curriculum topic in Year 2, we will be answering the big question 'Are all islands like ours?'
Below, we will add some pictures of our work along the way.
