Welcome back!!

A very warm welcome back to the previous Year 1s and a special welcome to Copthill to our two new children. We hope you have all enjoyed your first week in Year 2!

We have had a wonderful start to the new academic year. Year 2 are settling well into their new classes, whilst being very busy learning new routines and making new friends. We have delved into our new Pirates topic and learnt a very exciting game called 'Captains Coming'. 

2U are also off to a very good start with their maths and have been using the number square on the playground to learn their odd and even numbers and to practice their number bonds.

Excellent work Year 2! Have a great weekend!

The sun shines and we are loving it!

Another fabulous week in Year 2 -  we have been learning new skills; the Japanese craft of hapazome where we foraged and collected fruit, flowers and leaves to make some amazing flags. We also have been sketching them noting the difference in colour for light and shade.

Measuring skills in maths - we have been estimating and weighing items - shoes, rulers, glue sticks, teddies, water bottles to name a few. We have also been doing similar with measuring length.

In English we have been thinking about metaphors, verbs and descriptive phrases for a mermaid. We have also been exploring what she could be thinking and where she was going.

We have been continuing our journey around the coastline and have popped into St Ives and visited many attractions there - I Should Coco was definitely a hit - as was the visit to Barbara Hepworth's Sculpture Park.

Our last week next week. Very sad to be leaving Year 2, but excited about our new classes in Year 3. Another great week ahead is planned.

Have a lovely weekend everybody!
