  • The Marvellous Fluffy Squishy Itty Bitty

    Published 02/03/24, by Andy Mari

    Year 2 have had a fantastic start to the new half term. We are enjoying our new text ' The Marvelous, fluffy, squishy itty bitty'. The book is about a child who wants to buy a gift for their mum. We started the week by discussing the importance of gift giving and shared our own experiences. We then made cards for special people in our lives and decorated biscuits.  We look forward to writing our narrative and next week will be planning our own story based on the text.

    Year 2 have had another excellent two weeks. We have been enjoying our hooked on books sessions and have been exploring both fiction and non-fiction texts.

In Science, we used spinners to match materials and objects, we had to use our reasoning skills to why certain objects needed certain materials to work. In Maths, we have continued to master number. We have been exploring how number bonds can help us add larger numbers! We have also been taking part in lots of reading for pleasure. We love our library sessions and love talking about books!

  • The owl who was afraid of the dark.

    Published 27/09/23, by Andy Mari

    Year 2 have had a fantastic few weeks exploring and writing their own stories, based on 'The owl who was afraid of the dark'. We had a camp fire, where we roasted marshmallows, sang songs and played some games. It was so much fun! This week we have planned and written our own story, based on the book. We have changed the character and what they are scared of. We have been amazed by the children's creative ideas. In Birch class, one child wrote about a shark that was scared of the water and in Pine class, a child wrote about a cat who was scared of mice.

    Published 11/06/23, by Andy Mari

    This week Year 2 began their new Literacy topic of The Marvellous, Fluffy, Squishy, Itty-Bitty. The first lesson they thought about people they care about and how they could show it. Next they decorated a cake and wrote a note for that person. In the third lesson of the week it was time for another experience day where they watched a behind the scenes video of a bakery, discussed what you could buy there and then came the best bit- trying some of the foods. They finished this week with a Monster Phonics Day when they dressed up as, or in the colours of one of the monsters and they attended a workshop with Mrs Herbaut to play lots of phonics games. What a busy, but fun week!
