  • Latest news from Year 2

    Published 20/10/20, by Andy Mari

    Year 2 have been very busy this past week.  In computing we have been using Purple Mash to create a piece of art work inspired by Mondrian.  We had to select different tools on the computer and different colours, as well as answering questions about the artist. We also used paper and card in class to make our art work too!

    In maths we are learning to subtract and we have moved onto column subtraction and regrouping.  

    In literacy we have been following instructions to draw a knight, we then labelled the knights armour.  We put post its on our classmates so we would remember where the pieces of armour were worn! We have also been reading information books and looking at the features of these books - we used post its to show where the contents page was, as well as the glossary, pictures, labels and captions.  A very busy week indeed.

  • Castles and Knights!

    Published 12/10/20, by Andy Mari

    Over the last week or so Year 2 have had a very exciting week! As our literacy topic is all about Knights, Royals and Castles, we had a fencing lesson with Mr Moran in PE. We were taught how to defend ourselves, as well some of the terminology used when fencing.

    We have been busy writing about Rapunzel; describing what makes good and bad characters in fairy tales. We have compared two books about Rapunzel and recognised the differences in the text, as well as writing in 1st person.

    In Maths we have been busy regrouping numbers through addition using resources to support our learning. We will soon be looking at regrouping through taking away.

    In Science we have again been experimenting with different materials and their properties, using specific scientific language in our work.

    We have started to look at the importance and role of the Monarch. Discovering the history of the British Empire and just how far they travelled.

  • Journey Year 2

    Published 11/10/20, by Andy Mari

    Over the last week Year 2 have been covering different forms of media around the book we have been covering, called Journey. We have been writing poetry, using drama to act out scenes as well as writing our interpretations of the book.

    In Maths we have been looking at numbers up to 40. We have been learning to write these in both number and word forms, exploring numbers less than (smaller), and more than (greater).

    We have been busy in Art, using oil pastels to draw a feather for a school display, as well as weaving paper to make baskets for hot air balloons and making feather masks. We have also explored making tints from the colour red. All of which link back to our book we are looking at in Literacy.

    In PE we have continued to develop our tennis skills. Improving our throwing and catching, as well racket skills.

    We also had a visitor on Tuesday 15th September. Falconry UK came in to show us some of his amazing birds. Some of these included different species of Owls, a Kookabura, and a Kingfisher. We learnt so much about why these animals have evolved the way they are and saw up close how amazing these birds are!
