Maths Wizards

Today in numeracy we have been working really hard to partition numbers into their place-value.  We did really well finding the hundreds, tens and units. Well done Year 2!

Swimming

Today we went swimming for the first time this term and had a great time practising our water skills.

 

Remember that we go swimming every Monday so don't forget your swimming kit!

Hello and Welcome!

Hello and welcome to the Year 2 blog page.  We are so excited to be at the top of Key Stage 1 and we are settling into Year 2 very well. 

Netbooks!

Year 2 have been really enjoying using our new netbooks to do research and make information sheets about Simon de Montfort and the Battle of Evesham.

Making Bird Feeders

Yesterday we made recyclable bird feeders as part of 'Our Great Outdoors' topic.  We had to follow instructions very carefully to make them.  We will be hanging them on the tree outside our classroom in hope that more birds will come to visit us.

Our Beautiful Artwork

As part of our topic we have been looking at the artist, Georgia O'Keeffe and how she was inspired by nature.  We have tried hard to recreate one of her paintings using water colours and we have used pastels to draw tomatoes in her style.  Year 2 are amazing artists.

Minibeast Workshop

Yesterday we had a fantastic workshop about minibeasts and animals that can be found in the wild around the world.  The children learnt so much about the animals and were very brave!
Thank you to all the parents who came and took part - you were just as brave too!
