WB 13.7.26

We cannot believe we have reached the final week of the year! It has been a great, fun and fantastic time in Year 2 and this has been continued right up until the end. This week we have enjoyed hosting a cream tea for parents, baking our unique flavoured scones and celebrating the children's successes. We have also been learning beyond the classroom, practising our times tables outside whilst enjoying the sunshine.

We would like to thank all our parents and carers for their continued support over the year, we have thoroughly enjoyed teaching the children and we hope they enjoy their well deserved summer holiday!

Year 2 had a great day at Barleylands Farm, feeding and petting a variety of animals, as well as having a tractor ride around the grounds. The children also got to make pizzas, using fresh produce, where the process of farm to fork was explained and the benefits of eating home grown vegetables. Although it was extremely hot, the children enjoyed themselves and represented the school impeccably! Well done Year 2!

WB 29.6.26

This week, Year 2 have been continuing with their 'time' unit in Maths, ordering and comparing lengths of time. They showed an excellent understanding and enjoyed the practical activities. We have also baked our second batch of scones, which the children enjoyed, especially taking them home for family to try! We have also been planning our persuasive texts in English, the ideas are flowing and we are looking forward to reading the end results next week!

WB 22.6.26

Year 2 enjoyed a minibeast hunt in the sunshine this week, whilst exploring different micro-habitats. We discussed the conditions each insect lived in and the reasoning behind it.

WB 15.6.26

This week the children have been designing their scones ready for the cream tea event. They are very excited to test their favourite flavours and share them with parents! We have also been exploring 'time' in Maths this week. The children have looked at 'o'clock', 'half past' and 'quarter past' times, all of which they have shown a great understanding with.

WB 8.6.26

This week in DT, Year 2 had their first practise of baking scones. They discussed the skills involved and really enjoyed combining the ingredients, kneading the dough and using the cutters to create their scones. After they were baked, the children loved taste testing their creations!

WB 1.6.26

We cannot believe this is the final half term of Year 2! The year has flown by, but we still have another busy and exciting seven weeks ahead of us. We started the week with introducing our new DT topic of baking scones, for our upcoming annual  'Cream Tea' event. The children are extremely excited about baking and experimenting with different fillings. They tasted a variety of fillings, which could possibly provide them with inspiration for their own designs, this included a variety of fruits: dried mixed fruit, sultanas, dried apricots and glacē cherries. They then rated the flavours and described their taste. In Maths, we have continued with our 'Position and Movement' unit, the children have been learning different directions and ways to turn, including clockwise and anti-clockwise.
