It has been an excellent start to year 2, and we have had so much fun getting to know each other!

We have had a great start to the year learning about the United Kingdom and some of it’s most interesting landmarks. The children wrote a wonderful, descriptive piece of writing about these landmarks.

In math’s, we have been looking at place value and have used practical resources to support the children’s learning.

Just a gentle reminder, homework is given out on Friday’s and needs to be handed in by the following Tuesday. Every child has a reading record and this must be signed before we can change their books. Reading at home is extremely important, so please encourage your child to read every day if possible.

We look forward to the great year ahead.

The Year 2 Team

 

Today we learnt all the countries in South America and then used coloured card to make the different flags.

This term we will be looking at South America. We looked at Brazilian culture and the students made carnival masks. Take a look!

This term, we will be studying The Great Fire of London. This week, the pupils learnt what Tudor houses were made from and had a go at building some out of cereal boxes. They had lots of fun decorating their houses which are looking great! Take a look.

 

In topic we have been researching the Arctic and Antarctica. The pupils did some amazing research in their homework and made some beautiful posters. In class we have been reading ‘The Emperor’s Egg’ which is about the life cycle of a penguin. The children have really enjoyed the book and will have a chance at writing their own lifecycles this week.

 

Due to Year 6 SATS – Falconry UK will be visiting us on the 18th May 2023!

Year 2 have been learning about Nocturnal Animals. We have a visitor coming soon and wrote down some questions to ask about his birds. We can’t wait to see them. Take a look at the questions!
