On Thursday afternoon Year 2 were learning about the basic needs for survival in science. Children went on a hunt for different objects and then sorted them into wants and needs.
Sophie has been busy during the holidays. She has made her own fish in a bottle! Well done Sophie!
Year 2 Sports Day- this afternoon Year 2 loved doing their own Sports Day. Children were in teams and took part in different activities; javelin, egg and spoon race, relays and an obstacle race.
Year 2 have been getting creative. As part of their learning about the world’s oceans , children created their own Great Barrier Reef inspired models. Children painted their own sea backgrounds, used clay to make different sea creatures and then created their own coral reefs. Staff loved children’s engagement, patience and creativity!
Fit 4 Fun has been amazing! Here are our year 2 children enjoying their morning!
On Thursday morning Year 2 completed a carousel of activities linked to their learning around time. Children read different clock faces, matched the clock faces to the time, ordered time from earliest to latest and also used the clock faces to show the different times. Miss McKeown and Mrs Foster were impressed with everyone’s independence, engagement and fluency when using language of time.
Year 2 loved their session with Mr Usher yesterday afternoon in Forest School. Children discussed the basic needs for survival and how they were different to wants. In groups, children made their own shelters. One group were able to keep the water out! Finally children ranked the needs of survival from most to least important. Staff were impressed with their evaluation skills.
Year 2 were absolutely loving having music on the yard this morning. They loved dancing to some of their favourite pop songs. Children made up their own dances and we loved everyone dancing together in the sunshine ☀️
Year 2 loved showing their support for the England vs Scotland match on Friday with their red, white and blue. Everyone looked fabulous and hopefully we have contributed towards our fundraising.
On Monday 14th June Year 2 learnt all about composition for their Music Day. To begin with, children looked at musical vocabulary such as beat, pitch and rhythm. After that, we looked at graphic symbols to represent different beats. We then used body percussions and chants. To finish we used Google Shared Piano to represent different animals, beats, rhythms and pitches. We would love our parents to view our learning on Seesaw.
