This term we are improving our ball skills, we have rolled, passed, thrown and dribbled balls to gain more confidence.

We are learning in PSHE about our bodies, how to calm ourselves down and how our breath works. We have linked this to our PE sessions through some meditation and breathing exercises.

The children have really demonstrated some excellent partner work, they’ve encouraged eachother and worked together as a tea,

Just as we recovered from all things books we moved swiftly on to all things STEM.

Mr Dale started the week with a blast.. eggs flew, coke fizzed and raisins danced.. the children were enthralled by Science Meister Mr Dale for our Science Week worship!

The children had the opportunity to participate in, investigate and scruitinise different experiments all week, some were lead by our Science ambassedors and others in class. Our week ended with a visit from Dr Webb, who told the children about women in Science and encouraged a wide variety of questions.

Spring has finally Sprung!

This term has begun with all things books.. We have celebrated World Book day for our first week of term.

We met the amazing Gary Parsons who taught us how to create our own illustrations of people. The children loved dressing up as their favourite book characters on Thursday and we read lots of books.

This term has begun with all things shape!

We have looked at both 2D and 3D shapes, learning how to describe, compare and name them.

We have used practical methods to support our learning and the children have thoroughly enjoyed this hands-on approach.

We are blessed to have Mrs Vincent who brings life and energy to our weekly music classes.

The children, and teachers love being taught music in such a fun and accessible way.

Our first week back after the Christmas holidays was filled with golden yellow sunshine and icy weather outside!

We loved having the opportunity to study Van Gogh’s Sunflower painting, whilst learning how to create a wax resist and watercolour wash.

The children are very excited to invite parents to a formal exhibition of our work at the end of the month. During the exhibition you will be able to purchase your child’s artwork.

Here is our Topic Web for this term, more details of our weekly learning can be found on our Class Dojo page!

Each term we ask you to practice some key facts for mathematics at home. This term we will also be encouraging children to log on to TTRS to begin their multiplication journey online.

KIRFs Year 2 

This term the children have been learning about Algorithms and Debugging.

The children worked in pairs, building a model with five pieces of LEGO and writing instructions on how to build it successfully.

They had the opportunity to test out their algorithms and improve them so that they were precise.

This term our wellbeing day was spent creating bracelets with an ocean theme.

Next term we will be selling these to raise money for our chosen charity.

This week we were lucky enough to work with Les and Pat from Godly Play back to Year Two.

In this session the children were introduced to the story of the Good Samaritan, they reenacted the story, made crafts and played games all linked to the key idea of friendship, peace and help.
