In maths this week, Year 2 have been reviewing their understanding of time.  We recapped on telling the time to the hour and half past the hour. We then looked at quarter to and quarter past times, before moving on to solving time problems. In E

Year 2 have been absolute superstars this week whilst all their class teachers have been unwell! They have worked hard at school, and at home, and have continued with their brilliant learning. This week Year 2 have linked Science and English to resea

The children have had a super start to the Spring Term. They were eager to tell us all about their Christmas Holidays and wrote superb recounts. In English, the children have explored some interesting poems and thoroughly enjoyed performing them.  They then wrote their own shape poems and enjoyed reading Benjamin Zephaniah's poem 'People need People'. They wrote some brilliant poems about how people need people in their lives, using  Benjamin Zephaniah's poem as their inspiration.

In maths, the children have been partitioning numbers into different combination of tens and ones. This term's science topic is 'Animals' and the children enjoyed finding out about the different animal groups and sorting animals into the correct categories.

In geography, the children used atlases and maps to locate continents  and to explore the UK in greater detail. Well done to all the children for making such a positive start back to school. We look forward to all the fun and exciting things ahead!

This week in Year 2 we have been finishing our own version of the story of Lost and Found. We are so proud of the wonderful stories that Year 2 have created this half term, they have been working so hard! In maths we have been looking at measurement and learning about millimetres, centimetres and mitres. We have had lots of fun measuring different things around the classroom. Finally, in science we finished off our topics of Everyday Materials by creating a collage made from recycled materials. Year 2 are very passionate about protecting the environment and fighting climate change.

What materials would we use to make a waterproof bag?

This week in English, we looked at the story of 'Up and Down' by Oliver Jeffers in which the penguin character goes to join a circus! We then thought about what acts we would have at our circus and came up with ideas like a human cannonball and a dancing unicorn! We then described our circus persuasively using description and show not tell like 'eyes pop' and 'heart sing'. In history, we decorated boxes to create houses from the Great Fire of London and in PE we started learning small steps to complete some traditional Welsh dancing. In maths, we practised using our number facts and this will help us next week with missing number problems. We also learnt about the significance of poppies on Remembrance Day.
