On Wednesday 2nd October, year 2 enjoyed a fun afternoon at ‘The Marsh Academy’ where they took part in a variety of games relating to speed stacking. The afternoon was led by Year 10 students and involved different skills and competitions. One of our teams were lucky enough to win a silver medal.

Please find below the information that was shared at the open classroom today. It outlines the year ahead, expectations and some areas we will focus on throughout the year.

Welcome to year 2

 

Home Learning Menu – Year 2

The home learning menu allows the children the freedom to choose to investigate an area they are confident in. The options offer creativity and curiosity.

Ensure that the children choose two over the half term and encourage them to bring their learning in to school to share with the class.

We are very excited in year 2 to begin our new topic ‘Fire, Fire!’ where we will be learning all about the great fire of London. Our learning will be linked to this theme where possible.

Please find attached the topic overview for this term which outlines the learning for each area of the curriculum.

We look forward to spend the year learning with the children.

Today, we finished our pirate adventures with a dress up day in school. The children (and staff) arrived at school dressed in pirate outfits. They spent the morning roaming the school on treasure hunts, creating their own pirate names and making treasure chests. The afternoon ended with pirate songs after finishing creating their own pirate ships! What a day of fun!

 

Year 2 have been taking part in many different activities to celebrate ‘Bastille Day’. We have tasted different French foods, learnt our numbers to 10, learnt different colours, played boule and created our own castle to show where the event took place! What a busy, but enjoyable day!

 

Year 2 celebrated Father’s Day in school today. We worked with our adults to make an origami shirt and then challenged each other to a paper airplane race!

Year 2 have been learning how to follow instructions. They worked in groups to weigh, pour, measure, roll and cut their mixture into biscuit shapes. Next week they will have the chance to add their own ingredient to change the taste!
