During worship this morning Year 2 discussed the importance of being different and how our words can have an impact on other people’s feelings. We thought about this week’s theme and wrote kind words about each other on a post-it note anonymously and then gave them to each other. We had a lovely morning and will be keep our post-it notes in our toolkits to remind us how amazing we are!
Year 2 enjoyed using a mixture of media to create their poppies this week. We used our poppies to create a wreath. Some of us then hung them on the fence ready for Remembrance Day.
In Science Y2 have been learning about the importance of food and a healthy diet. We linked this to our DT curriculum. Children had to choose their own fillings and bread to make a sandwich, thinking about healthy choices. Children showed off their cutting, chopping and peeling skills. Hopefully they tasted delicious!
Year 2 have been very busy today learning all about the Hindu festival of Diwali. We started off the day by learning all about the festival of light and the story of Rama and Sita. We retold the story, some children used puppets and uploaded their videos onto Seesaw. We identified the significance of the light and how it represented good over evil. Next, we completed a comprehension about the festival and how different parts of India celebrate it differently. After that, we created our own Diwali lamps. We linked this to our instructional writing in English and finished off our day by writing our own set of instructions.
Today Year 2 loved tasting some traditional Spanish tapas. They loved it so much it was gone before we got lots of photos.
Hello Yellow- year 2 loved wearing our bright colours and discussing different emotions we feel on a daily basis!
Year 2 have had a busy week. Here is just some of the things we have been up to. On Tuesday afternoon we used clay to make our own Commonwealth Medals in DT. We will be painting them next week. On Wednesday morning we went on a spelling scavenger hunt in English, looking at our Common Exception words. On Thursday afternoon we continued with our new Mastering Number in maths.
Yesterday, Year 2 had their Road Safety workshop with Kim. We put into practise our Green Cross Code.
On Wednesday morning Year 2 were learning about adjectives to support their learning with character descriptions. Children had to rely on their hands as they described what was in the box. Mrs Wood was impressed with the vocabulary being developed.
On Friday Year 2 were learning about Climate Change and how we can make a difference. We had an amazing discussion around what climate change is and we used this an inspiration to write to our local MP Kate Osborne. Staff were impressed with everyone’s ideas and vocabulary.
