We have had a very exciting week in Year 2. In Science, we went on a senses walk in our school garden. We were able to hear birds, traffic and aeroplanes. We smelt some flowers and we saw fish in the school pond. There were lots of leaves to touch as well.

In PE, we has the opportunity of doing some yoga activities, it was hard work, but fun!

The Great Fire of London Project

We have been remembering the 100th anniversary of the First World War. We watched a short video clip about why we wear poppies. We then made some memorial crosses and poppies and took part in a Remembrance assembly. During our PSHE lesson we discussed about war and even enjoyed debating during a P4C lesson. Both classes worked really hard respecting each others viewpoints, well done.

Please continue to read your books on bug club. Don't forget that Bug Club is on a Tuesday lunch time for Class 2O and a Wednesday lunch time for Class 2B.

We are authors.

We have enjoyed writing poetry, using really interesting adjectives. We have also been writing stories, inspired by the Gorilla book by Anthony Browne. We were able to use conjunctions and time conjunctions.

NSPCC Number Day

We have had a fantastic Number Day in Year 2. We played games and then we made our own games. We even got special challenges of Mr Subtraction Man!!! Well done for a great day and thank you for all of your donations for NSPCC.

Internet Safety Day

This week, we have discussed 'online safety'. The children discussed the importance of passwords and how we should not give them out to anybody else. The children listened to the steps we need to take if we receive any unkind words or messages online. Fantastic answers and suggestions on what we could do were given by the class. Well done Year Two.

Instruction Writing - Games

Today, we have been writing some instructions on how to play games. We worked in teams and we invented our own games using hoops, beanbags and cones. We then included some adverbs, time conjunctions, conjunctions and imperative verbs in our instruction writing. We then had some fun playing our games and checking that our instructions made sense.
