In Thursday morning worship, Year 2 did some mindfulness colouring and spent a lovely period of quiet reflection time, thinking about the people they love, in line with Valentine’s Day. The children were very calm and peaceful and we all found this a nice activity which left us focused and ready for our learning.
In Year 2, we have been thinking about how we can use our devices safely at home. We wrote some rules that we could put in place to promote our well being and mental health whilst using our devices. We then discussed these ideas with our grown ups during our COOL Afternoon and enjoyed a quiz together. Well done Year 2!
Year 2 have had an amazing afternoon learning all about coastal erosion in Geography. Mrs Wells demonstrated the process to the children using sand, water and rocks. Seeing the process in action really engaged the children and the vocabulary that they learnt and used throughout the demonstration, blew Mrs Wells and Mrs Wood’s minds. They are loving this topic and can’t wait for their next lesson!
Yesterday Year 2 had a delightful afternoon working on our new Art topic, “Flower Head”. First of all we completed our cold assessment task, making a flower head sculpture from modelling clay. Then we sketched observational drawings of real flowers, thinking about their shape, colour and form. The children were so engaged and excited to work with real cut flowers and this was reflected in the quality of their work. Mrs B and Mrs Wood were absolutely blown away! Well done Year 2!!
Year 2 are absolutely loving their Science topic all about uses of materials. In their latest lesson, they explored different ways to shape materials. Lots of hands on, practical investigation took place and through bending, twisting, squashing and stretching materials, they were able to discover how changing the shape of a material can be both a good and a bad thing.
What a fantastic morning Year 2 have had at The Urban Factory, taking part in a Cheerleading event. They have had so much fun developing their balance, co-ordination and teamwork skills. Everyone had a super attitude and worked together on some pretty challenging stunts and routines. Mrs Wells, Mr Barron and Mrs Wood are so proud of you all!
It’s party time in year 2 
Year 2 had a great time rocking their party moves on the dance floor today
Year 2 really enjoyed their Prayer Space session in the hall this morning. They were extremely respectful of the space and spent lots of time reflecting on the past year, thinking about their hopes and dreams, what they are thankful for at Christmas and also who might help guide them if they need some support. Great work Year 2, well done!
Year 2 have had an amazing time during Forest School, yesterday afternoon. They have been on a habitat hunt around the nature garden and have used their science skills to help them identify lots of different plants and animals. Mrs Wells and Miss Riley were super impressed with the children’s sticky knowledge from previous learning and the vocabulary used in discussions was absolutely amazing!
