Year 2 completed their learning in Science this term by visiting Creature Corner. They were investigating the different habitats. In addition, they explored what micro habitats were present. Children were excited to find nests, rotten apples, bark and dried leaves that were all homes to living creatures. The children were also delighted to see the habitats they made in Year 1 still being used by living things.
Year 2 had a brilliant learning experience at the church yesterday afternoon. They were split into four groups and took part in activities where they learnt more about the characters in the Christmas Story. Year 2 were highly praised for their learning behaviours and their participation. Many thanks to all the adults who took part yesterday.
Year 2 had a wonderful learning experience when Teaching Talons came to visit. We learnt how dinosurs became extinct and saw a wide range of fossils. After, we created fossil rubbings and made our own dionsaurs out of paper plates. We also met a wide range of animals including a large frog and owl. We were delighted with the learning the children showed. Teaching Talons were also impressed by the learning behaviours Year 2 children showed. Well done everyone!
The adults in Year 2 have been very impressed with the positive and mature start the children have made. All the children have tried their best. This week we have been learning about numbers. We have read, write and ordered numbers to 100 and beyond. Today we started to use the greater than and less than signs. Year 2 have also made an exciting start to their Animals on Parade topic 'Roar, Roar Roar!' and have helped to set up our outdoor learning area.
Year 2 have had a wonderful summer term. After working exceptionally hard for their special work, they have done very well in assessments. The adults are all very proud of them. They have also shown they are mature and ready to start Year 3 and KS2. All the children have been positive about learning and eager to start new challenges. We have started the week with lots of fun activities including sports morning and a picnic with Year 1. We have also shared our memories of Year 2. Mrs Elson, Mrs Butcher and Mrs Ainsworth will miss teaching Year 2 but look forward to their watching their progress in Year 3. Thank you for all the wonderful support we have received from parents over the year and it is very much appreciated. Have a lovely safe summer holiday.
Year 2 had the exciting chance to travel back in time to 1666 to find out about the Great Fire of London. We worked in the role of apprentices. Some were Bakers, leather workers, candle makers and Doctors. In the afternoon, we were then archeologists and found items from 1666 by digging in the ground. We had to identify who owned these items, how they lived and what had happened to them. This was a very exciting day where we learnt a lot about the past. Many thanks to all the parents for the wonderful costumes and their help.
Key Stage 1 were excited when the fire service came to visit us at school!
