Y2 KIRFs (A4)_Term 6

Last Thursday, 40 days after Easter Sunday, Years 2 and 3 went to the church and led the Ascension Service. The children did a great job and read and sang beautifully.

One of the songs, ‘I Love You’, they sang and signed.

I Love You – Ascension Service Song

On Friday, we celebrated the King’s coronation with a special lunch and wearing red, white and blue. The children all made crowns and we learnt about what the process is during the coronation.

We had visitors into school to teach us about pollination and why it is important. All the children then had the chance to sow their own seeds to take home so they could grow different flowers to provide nectar for animals that need it.

It was an enjoyable activity for all involved.

In Maths we have been learning about 2D shapes, identifying sides and vertices and how to find out if shapes have lines of symmetry.

We were able to find lines of symmetry by folding shapes to see if they were the same on both sides.

Welcome to Term 5.

Year 2 KIRFs – Term 5

We celebrated Science Week with a workshop led by year 6 children and then got to dress up as something linked to Science for the day.

We had lots of fun learning about things that were magnetic, finding fossils and exploring the meaning or transparent and opaque.

We have had a busy term so far with lots of exciting learning taking place.

In RE, we have been learning about the good news Jesus brings, with a focus on parable: Jesus heals ten men with Leprosy. We discussed how the Lepers were feeling at different points and then acted it out, pretending we were different people from the parable.

In our Science lessons we have been learning about animals including humans. We completed an investigation to find out if there was a link between our age and our body size. Everyone made lots of predictions and then used our Maths learning of measuring length and height to find out if there was a link. By the end of the lesson we found out that there wasn’t a link as some of the younger children were taller and had longer body parts.

Our text this term is The Lonely beast and we have begun to learn part of the story in preparation for writing a newspaper report. To help us, we pretended to be reporters and interviewed the children and the beast.

Look out for some of our newspaper reports over the coming weeks.

So far this term we have looked at length and height, learning how to measure objects in cm and m. We spent time measuring various places around the school to see how long they were!

We have also looked at estimating how long objects are, deciding that we have never come across a penguin that was 5m tall!
