We celebrated Earth day (22nd April) by learning all about human impact on the planet and how we can help to protect our world. We created our own leaflets to explain some ways we can take care of the world. We also made our own Earth handprints.
In our science lessons, we have been learning all about life cycles and how different animals develop. We looked closer at the life cycle of a frog and created our own representation of the frog’s life cycle.
The year 2 children all looked brilliant for their WW2 day. They enjoyed completing a range of activities including making jam sandwiches for a street party, designing a world war 2 medal and making a spitfire! The children were also very lucky to have the opportunity to observe some real items from WW2.
Year 2 had an excellent science day investigating plants! They explored using plants to create prints for artwork and then planted flowers in the school outdoor area.
During this RE week, year 2 have been learning all about the Jewish festival, Passover (Pesach). The children heard the story of Moses and discussed the significance of the events within the story. They responded to the story through art. The children then re-enacted a Passover meal and learnt all about the foods that would be on the Seder plate and what these items represent.
Our Year 2 children stepped back in time this week and experienced what it would have been like to be evacuated during WW2. We walked to our local train station where we boarded a train. We sang war songs and completed activities.
Thank you to all the adults who were able to attend our spelling workshop. The children all had great fun practicing their spellings in a variety of ways.
We had such a fun day dressing up as some of our favourite story characters. Look at our fantastic costumes!
Thank you to all that were able to attend the year 2 reading comprehension workshop. The children had a great time completing activities to develop their reading skills.
