Year 2

Year 2 enjoyed themselves this morning at the multi-skills tournament at St Benedict’s School. They performed really well and even won some certificates for demonstrating excellent team spirit. Well done! 

Year 2 have been learning how to balance and jump in gymnastics this morning in preparation for their competition. 

Year 2 listened to the word of God and, after reflection, to one another’s thoughts about giving praise to God.

During Prayer & Liturgy today, Year 2 listened to the story of creation from the Bible and reflected on the wonder of creation then thought about new beginnings in their own lives. They then said a prayer to give thanks for the amazing and precious world we live in.

Year 2 became ‘Material Detectives’ this afternoon during science. They enjoyed finding different objects made of different materials. They used lots of scientific vocabulary to describe the properties of the materials. 

Year 2 rose to the 100 Miles Challenge this morning by running their first mile. Mr Blanks joined us to help with setting a sensible pace without stopping and to give us advice on running techniques. Now to see who can run 100 miles over the coming year!

Year 2 have settled in really well into their new class. They have been working hard during their first week. Well done and keep it up!

Year 2 have been secretly practising their handwriting with a pen in the hope they earn a pen licence soon after they join Year 3. I think they are already ready for a pen licence. Well done Year 2 for working so hard to write neatly all year. 

This morning, Year 2 enjoyed playing board games with Year 6 who had designed and made the games themselves. 

Year 2 were refining some key skills in P.E. with Dan this afternoon.  They were all keen to improve their skills ready for use in Year 3 and to be on the winning team. 

Year 2 had great fun learning traditional African dances today. 

Can you recognise anyone in Year 2? Year 2 were transformed this morning with face paints.
