Scented Gardens
This half term the children will be learning about gardens. The children will have the opportunity to explore our school garden; draw flowers; design a dream garden and study the famous oil painting 'Water Lilies' by Monet. They will also interview a gardener and make cheese and chive scones. Yum, Yum!
Autumn Fun!
Thank you to all the parents that joined us for our annual Autumn workshop. We had lots of fun cutting, sticking, drawing and colouring.
The children have also been busy this half term writing their own poems based around Autumn. They impressed us with their use of WOW words. We certainly have some budding poets in Year 2.
Christmas time in Year 2
On Wednesday 28th November, Year 2 got into the Christmas spirit early during our annual Christmas workshop.
Thank you to all the parents that helped; it wouldn't have been a success without you.
We hope you had as much fun as the children.
Currently, Year 2 are extremely busy rehearsing for the Key Stage 1 Christmas concert 'Hey Ewe.' Please support your child by helping them to learn their lines.
Dinosaur Planet
In our topic, this half term, the children will learn about reptiles, dinosaurs and fossils. They will discover all about Mary Anning and her famous discovery; the Ichthyosaur.
They will also look at images of different dinosaur teeth and sort them into groups of meat eaters and plant eaters. Furthermore, they will compare life during the age of dinosaurs with modern life.
For the 'innovate' task; the children will make sculptures of dinosaurs using different shaping techniques.
Year 2 have been making dinosaur skeletons and using the Ipad to take photographs of their work.
We took advantage of the beautiful frosty morning.
Look at the children's fabulous frosty spiders webs. Inspired by our weather today.
On Monday, two nests of eggs appeared overnight in Year 2! We had lots of fun guessing what was inside the eggs. The next day they hatched into baby dragons. What a surprise!!!!
look at our dinosaur sculptures make to end our dinosaur planet topic.
Here is year 2's chilli pepper homework menu for spring term 2.
The children have been learning about the fire service and how they help to keep us all safe. Everyone enjoyed looking inside a real fire engine and learning about the firefighters job.
