Moths
Year 2 are currently learning all about moths for their Power of Reading text. The children were very excited to research moths and choose one to create. They made their very own mechanisms too so that the wings of their moth can move!

30 days wild
During the month of June, The Wildlife Trust sets a challenge called ’30 days wild’. As a school, we always like to take part in this as it supports our science learning as well as being great for wellbeing. Each day throughout June, the children take part in one of the ’30 days wild’ challenges. We also held a wild dress up day to celebrate. Look at our amazing costumes!
Bus
The children had an amazing time going for a bus ride around Dereham and listening to a story on the bus!
Hawk and Owl trust
Year 2 had an amazing time at The Hawk and Owl Trust. It supported their science learning around habitats and animals. During the day, the children had the opportunity for pond dipping, building minibeast habitats, sketching wildlife and going on a wildlife walk. The year 2 children all had the best day although a little hot
Time and Tide museum
Year 2 had so much fun during their WW2 day spent at Time and Tide museum. They used pretend bayonets to hit Hitler and learnt how to march and be a Homeguard. Then, they got to spend time in a WW2 shop learning how to ration as a shop keeper by weighing out the products. Finally, they spent time with Mrs Day visiting her house and learning how she makes do and mends!
WW2 stop motion films
The children in year 2 have been really inquisitive when learning about World War 2. They completed a project where they created a background and then props that would move to replicate a WW2 scene. Then, using I-Pads, the children created their own short film using stop motion. Look at some of the amazing examples!
Spaghetti! Spaghetti!
The children are really enjoying exploring poetry this half term. At the moment, they are reading poems about food and creating their own ideas ready to write their own food poems. Look how much fun they had exploring and describing the feel of spaghetti!
Walk to the Pillbox
The year 2 children are really enjoying learning all about WW2. They were excited to take a walk through town to see a real Pillbox near Dereham train station. When they returned to school, they made their very own 3D Pillbox.
Writing cafe
Year 2 children really enjoyed their writing café where they had the chance to take part in spelling, handwriting and sentence building activities. The children played Boggle and Jenga with year 2 common exception words. They explored using different tools to write into sand and used chalk to practice their handwriting on the playground. The children also challenged themselves to add suffixes to root words! They were all super stars at practicing their writing skills, well done year 2!
