YEAR 2 BLOG

The year 2 team are all really impressed with how hard everyone has worked this half term. You have settled in really well and showed us how amazing you all are. We are looking forward to another fantastic half term after the holidays.

A very wet but exciting walk around Moor Park this week! We saw squirrels, collected conkers,walked under a bridge, saw a pond and waterfall and found the observatory.

What an exciting week in Year 2. We have had a visit from a nurse to talk to us about how to keep our hearts healthy. We learnt how to find our pulse and some of us got to use her stethoscope. We have also followed our designs to make our smoothies. We cut the fruit, carefully placed all the…

We are learning about the continents and oceans in year 2. We have learnt a song to help us remember the names of the continents and today we used a giant map outside! We ran to the correct continent when Mrs Southward shouted the name. We also played games in pairs and teams to find the different…

Year 2 had a lovely visit over to church this afternoon as part of our R.E. Work.

What a fantastic afternoon we had in Year 2. We welcomed some special visitors from BAE into class where we took part in a Roving Robot activity.  Our focus was on teamwork. We had to work together, listen to each other and make decisions to control the speed of the robot.  

The theme of our RE work last half term was 'How can we share what we have?' We were thinking about how we can spread Jesus' message of loving one another and how we might support our neighbours across the world. We found out about the work of Mission Together; the Pope's charity which supports…

Year 2 have enjoyed making clay tiles and pots in class. They have developed several skills including rolling to an even thickness, mark-making onto clay and joining clay pieces together.  Pupils made a pinch/thumb pot and a coil pot using the skills they had practised.

Year 2 have combined their computing and maths skills to create pictograms using the iPads.

We have started our new art unit and in a few weeks we will make a clay pot. To help us practise the skills needed to manipulate clay we experimented rolling, coiling and twisting salt dough.
