Year 2

As part of our topic on the Great Fire of London, Year 2 have been learning about what houses were like in 1666. Then they used this knowledge to design and create models of Tudor houses.

What an amazing turnout of costumes for the launch of T T Rockstars. Year 2 had great fun taking part in rock star dances and playing their air guitars. They even had time to log on to the app during a computing session. I wonder who will be the ‘most improved’ and ‘most practised’ each…

Today Year 2 used the iPads to complete an interactive quiz about the facts they’ve learnt about the Great Fire of London. They instantly saw the results on the large interactive screen and were extremely pleased with how many questions they got right. Well done Year 2!

This half term we are learning how to refine some of the gymnastics moves we learned last year in preparation for a competition later in the year. Today we focused on jumping and using this to mount the apparatus correctly.

There was a lot of interest in this year’s school council election. The children interested told the class why they would be a good Year 2 representative on the school council. The vote was very close with Isaac and Pearl being the two winning representatives. Their classmates have full faith in…

Year 2 have been working on representing numbers up to 100. They used a range of equipment to make given numbers using tens and ones.

Year 2 had a fabulous time at Walby Farm Park today.

Year 2 have been learning about the different countries of the Uk and the waters that surround it. They used non-fiction texts (including the internet) to find out about which animals live in the waters around the UK.

Year 2 have been learning about the flags of South Africa and what each colour represents. Do you know why it has so many different colours? The children chose which medium they wanted to use to colour in their flags. 

Year 2 designed their own creatures to appear in their chapter of The Night Zoo series. On Friday they used a Computing programme of their choice to illustrate their creature. 

Year 2 visited Egremont Library this morning. We all agreed that there are so many fabulous books in the library that it can be very difficult to choose which one to take home which means we will just have to return during the holidays to choose another back. 

Year 2 enjoyed looking through their big red writing books to look at their writing journey so far through school. They were all interested, amazed and proud at how much progress they have made.
