This morning Y2 focused on their physical oracy challenge that was set Mrs Sharrock yesterday. We completed some vocal runs and practiced projecting our voices. We thought about our posture and how doing mouth exercises can help us. Year 2 were brilliant at opening their diaphragms and projecting their voices!
Year 2 are loving their art topic, Flower Head! Today, we focused on the shape and form of flowers. We began by looking at a range of flowers and discussing their shape and form before creating our own versions. They were so good that we’ve even added them to our class display!
This morning, year 2 complete Picture News worship where we focused on whether YouTube should have different rules for younger users. We thought about whether the things we watch positively impact us and how the Bible tells us to view things that bring us goodness.
Year 2 completed a practical maths lesson all about ‘choosing coins’. We were given amounts of money to find and we had to select the most appropriate coins. We were challenged to think of more than one way to make the value given to us!
On Friday, Year 2 completed a lesson all about giving instructions. We thought about using clear sequences of instructions and took turns writing and then following them with our partners. At the end of the computing lesson we all turned into Beebots and followed the sequence provided by Miss Topping. Well done Year 2!
Year 2 have had the best morning with their friends from Bede Burn in forest school! We focused on our Science topic ‘uses of materials’ and completed a materials sort and a materials walk. We thought about the properties of the materials and whether they could fit into more than one category!
Yesterday, Year 2 continued their learning in gymnastics and focused on balancing. They practiced a range of balanced and thought about their posture, their form and their control. Some balances were super easy and some were very tricky!
Year 2 visited Jarrow Library to return and pick out some new books. We were super lucky and walked into a gorgeous display of books all about coastlines linked to our new topic! Thank you to Catherine for this!
On Thursday, Year 2 had Deborah in from Nexus to teach us all about safety on the metros. We used our sticky knowledge from last year to support our answers and are now metro experts! This is super handy considering we use the metro a lot to take us on rich experiences… thank you to Deborah from Nexus!
Year 2 began their new topic of gymnastics in PE on Wednesday. They had to use their sticky knowledge and think about their previous learning in Y1 and demonstrate their jumps, rolls and balances. We even spoke about gymnasts performing and competing at the Olympics!
