• Happy Friday Year 2!
  This week in Year 2 we have become gardeners and started our new unit in science on Plants. The children looked at seeds and then discussed whether a seed is living and non-living and then we planted our own sunflower seeds. We will be planting a lot more so watch this space for some wonderful photographs. We also became compass readers and went on a scavenger hunt using our own compass rose. We then made our own treasure map and guided our partners through the maze to the treasure using directional language such as North, South, East, West, forward, up ...
• Design and Technology week!
  This week Year 2 have been working super hard with investigating, designing and making their own fire engines based on our topic, the Great Fire of London. I must say the children have worked so hard this week with enthusiasm and determination to design and make the best fire engines ever. We looked at wheels and axles and made our own chassis (which was challenging but we all persevered). One of our objectives in our design criteria was to make sure that our fire engine moved and with our wonderful chassis, we all made moveable fire engines. Firefighters to the ...
• Super learners Year 2!
  Year 2 have been working brilliantly in the last two weeks. I have been so impressed with how well they have all settled back into school life and embraced all aspects of learning with determination and resilience. It has been so lovely to see everyone back at school having fun as they learn and play with their friends. The past few weeks we have been looking at the Great Fire of London which the children have absolutely loved learning. We even got to put out our own fire using squirt guns and mini buckets just like people in the 17th ...
• A week full of diary writing, Kandinsky and reading in unusual places.
  As usual, all children this week have worked super hard and I am very impressed with their continuous positive attitude towards learning. Here are just a few snippets of what we have been doing this week. This week in Year 2’s classroom at home, we have been building up to a piece of diary writing based on the video “The lighthouse”. We learned to write our pieces in the past tense with lots of expanded noun phrases and conjunctions to make our writing even better. We worked super hard planning, proof reading against the success criteria and editing. Here are some ...
• Fantastic first full week at home!
  The-North-Sea.-By-Thomas-Download Max drumming to We Will Rock You! Year 2 have all been fantastic this week. Everyone has worked super hard and they should all be proud of how hard they have been working at home. This week in science we did our own experiment and as a class we came up with our own investigation to see what material would be best for Winnie the Pooh’s umbrella. In Geography we researched the seas which surround the UK and then we devised a fact file about one of the seas with some interesting information. In Literacy we are building up to writing ...
• Week one of home learning in Year 2!
  Fantastic start to home learning Year 2. I am super impressed with all of you. You have all engaged really well and its great that we can still have contact with each other and learn together through the wonderful world of technology. Here are some wonderful photographs of Year 2 working on a science experiment. I (Miss Hurrell) needed some help, my dog keeps knocking over my water and I needed to find the best material to help absorb all the water up quickly. So year 2 went off and experimented. Firstly we looked at making predictions of what materials ...
