Year 2 trip to Dungeness 2019

On Tuesday, Year 2 went on a trip to Dungeness. We caught the train from New Romney Railway Station to Dungeness Railway Station and saw lots of beautiful scenery on the way.

When we got to Dungeness we split into our class groups. Hare Class started by taking a walk along the boardwalk with Jake and creating pictures and sculptures  using the natural materials we could find around us. Meanwhile Fox Class met Owen who was able to give us lots of information on The Old Lighthouse which we then sketched.

After lunch we swapped over, Hare Class sketched the lighthouse and learnt lots about it from Owen while Fox Class walked along the boardwalk with Jake and created their pictures using natural materials.

Then it was time for us to get the train back to New Romney!

We had an absolutely fantastic day. Thank you to our parent helpers for coming with us.

We hope you enjoy looking at the pictures we took while we were exploring Dungeness.

Today in Year 2, the children evaluated a range of different biscuits. They had to describe the smell, appearance and texture, before finally tasting them.

 

Dear Parents,

KS1 Assessments

Dear Parents,

Please find attached the curriculum outline for terms 5 and 6.

As you will see our main topic is ‘Hooray! Let’s go on Holiday!’  Our trip to Dungeness will form the basis for the majority of the geography skills and objectives we will cover.

Florence Nightingale

Year 2 finished their topic learning about Florence Nightingale with an assembly. The children took the parents on a journey through her life. They then had the opportunity to individually share their learning with their parents.

 

Year 2 had a fantastic time making paper roses with their Mums and Grandmas. A big thank to everyone who attended the event this afternoon.

 

Sign of a fun afternoon!

Year 2 enjoyed their golf experience yesterday! They were shown how to complete a range of golf related tasks and even had a go at chipping and putting!

We became scientists and investigated how far and fast germs can spread!

Welcome back to school.

This term, we will be continuing to learn about Florence Nightingale. We will be finding out more about the changes she made to the hospitals.

The two texts we will be learning about in English are: The Lonely Beast and Into the Forest.

 

We are planning another ‘Celebration of Learning’ towards the end of this term. The children really enjoyed sharing their learning with you. Details to follow.

In year 2 the children had some interesting discussions relating to staying safe on the internet. They worked in pairs to answer questions about what is the right and wrong thing to do when they are online.
