Spring 2
WB 9.3.26
This week the children have been exploring what living in a city in India would be like, during their Geography lesson, comparing it with how we live in the United Kingdom. In Maths, we have begun our new unit on 'Measures', which the children are thoroughly enjoying and are showing amazing understanding, when it comes to reading scales. During our English lessons, we have begun to innnovate our Smok the Dragon text, the ideas we have in Year 2 are great! We have also been enjoying practising our basketball skills in PE.
WB 2.3.26
This week the children have been noticing their beans growing for their Science experiment, they have placed them in different conditions to see where they grow best. They have also planted bulbs in jars and are waiting to see the results over the coming weeks. It was great to see the children dressed up for World Book Day, everyone put such a lot of effort into their costumes. The children enjoyed completing activities based on books and especially loved the 'Book Swap', where they got to choose a new book to take home and read.
WB 23.2.26
Our first week back and Year 2 are motivated to work - we have had some great lessons! In PE we have begun our units on dance and basketball, which the children are very enthusiastic about. We have also started our new 'Talk for Writing' unit based on 'Smok the Dragon', the children are fully invested in the story and enjoying it, we had some fantastic dragon impressions! In PSHE, we are exploring the difference between 'wants' and 'needs', it was extremely interesting to hear the children's views and their awareness of knowing and identifying items we require and things we wish for. In Maths, Year 2 have been exploring division, showing a great understanding, using bar models to solve equations.
