Celebrating Our Success

This week's stars are Rubie and Ivy.
Rubie is for putting 100% effort into everything that she does.
Ivy is for being a fantastic role model in and out of class.

Maths - This half term the Year 2 children have been focusing on place value. We have been using concrete resources to help us partition numbers into ten and ones.

English - The children are currently looking at 'Rapunzel' linking to our Cornerstones topic. The children have enjoyed thinking about different, inventive ways she can escape from the tower and writing back to her to give her advice.

Cornerstones - This Half Term our topic is 'Towers, Tunnels and Turrets'. The children have been learning about castles and why they were built. They have created some fantastic pieces of home learning and some amazing pencil sketches of a knights helmet in Art.

Pirate stories in Year 2

Before half term, the Year 2 children wrote their own pirate stories and created their own books.

The Year 2 children wanted to share their stories so we went to Year 1 and Reception so they could read them to other children.

Year 2 Pirate stories

Year 2's topic this term is 'Wriggle and Crawl'. We have been learning all about different types of mini-beasts. All of the children really enjoyed going on a mini-beast hunt and found lots of different insects. We then used the data we collected to make a block graph.

As part of our Art lessons we have created a butterfly collage out of natural materials. We went outside and collected fallen leaves, grass, petals and daisies. We carefully sketched the outline of a butterfly using our existing knowledge of an insect's body parts and made sure the pattern we created was symmetrical.

We would like to say a huge thank you to all of the children for all of their hard work during SATs. You are all super stars!!!

Year 2 have been having lots of fun making props for our end of year production 'Jonah a Fishy Tail'

Year 2 have had a fantastic day out at 'Hoo Farm'. What a brilliant way to end the year!
The children have seen and fed a variety of animals and learnt all about them. They asked lots of excellent questions and even learnt how to sign animal's names using makaton.
