Year 2

As part of our Music curriculum, we have been learning some new songs each week.

We have learned some key words as well, including dynamics, tempo and rhythm.

Chop, Chop, Chopetty Chop!

As part of our DT week, Year 2 have been making fairground wheels.

Our design criteria was:

• A wheel that spins around
• A stable frame
• Pods for eight to ten people
• Decorated for our local area
• The right material properties

We considered our axle, wheel, pod and frame throughout the build!

Here is an outline of what we have planned for this term in Year 2!

Our big question this term is: Who made the world? The children listened to the first part of the Creation story and then painted what they thought God may have created on the sixth day.

We then thought about why it is important to care for God’s creation and how people might do this.

A repeat of years gone by, we were blessed with warm weather on which to celebrate and remember the day that Victory came to Europe.

We began with a moving service from Rev Chris, and enjoyed our lunch outside with the whole school in attendance.

This term we are learning about the Stone Age. We have looked at where it fits on a timeline and learnt about the 3 different parts of the Stone Age. We learnt about animals through our literacy text; Cave Baby, and are now learning about what life was like through The Stone Age Boy.

This week we looked at fosilised poo (coprolite) from the Stone Age times. By learning through hands-on experiences the children get to investigate, infer and explore what happened in the past.

Next week we are learning how to cook as the Stone Age people would have done – on an open fire!
