This week, we have continued to celebrate Black History Month with some classes swapping and sharing their learning with others. Year 2 were very proud to share their posters about Marcus Rashford. We have also used the theme of 'proud to be' to think about what we are proud ourselves and this promoted lots of lovely discussion. We have been thinking about how amazing it is that everyone is different and thought about how boring it would be if everyone was the same. We created some AMAZING ME posters. In English, we planned our own version of the story of STUCK by Oliver Jeffers and wrote the beginning. In phonics, we have been continuing with our sounds using the Little Wandle way! We also finished our pieces of art about the Great Fire of London after building up our painting skills this term. 

Year 2 have really enjoyed retelling the story of STUCK by Oliver Jeffers. We learnt some actions and created a story map to show our understanding. In RE, we celebrated the Jewish festival of Rosh Hashanah. We explored different, important objects like challah bread, shofar horn and apple and honey. We even dipped some apple in honey and wished each other a sweet new year. In maths,we continued our number work by going over addition strategies. In music, we continued to listen to ‘Bolero’ by Ravel and created some great dance routines.

We have had a wonderful busy week in Year 2! In English, we continued to write our own traditional tale, swapping the roles of the good and evil characters. The children produced amazing pieces of writing full of imagination. In maths, we have been consolidating our understanding of the 4 operations: addition, subtraction, division and multiplication, using whichever methods work best for us. Whether that is using arrays, sharing circles, partitioning or working out answers in our heads. In science, we have continued our topic of animals including humans, this time exploring food chains further. We discussed the difference between a producer and a consumer, as well as predators and prey. The children had to make up different food chains that they may find in different habitats, such as the ocean, a woodland or a desert. Today, we were very lucky to have a Sports day! Mr Lancaster arranged loads of wonderful activities for us that included sprint relay, long distance running and throwing bean bags. It was so much fun!
