Year 2

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. 

Year 2 went to Egremont Bowling Green to learn how to bowl. They then took part in a tournament and came second! Well done Year 2!

Year 2 visited The Rum Story this morning to enhance their learning about Africa and how their local area links to Africa. Ask them who the Jefferson’s are. 

Year 2 used their running skills to good effect this morning finishing first and third in the team relay races. 

Year 2 have been developing stamina and endurance running skills in the sunshine this afternoon.

Year 2 enjoyed learning all about the history of their local harbour side (Whitehaven) and how it links to other parts of the world. Ask them who John Paul Jones is.
