Piglets, Partitioning,Playing and Practising!

These are just a sniper  of the things Year 2 have been involved with this week! 

In Maths, we have been reading data within tables, stating the value of each number within 4 digit numbers, doing some funny counting and becoming very knowledgeable on 3D shapes!

We have been really getting to know the characters of Belle and Beast and exploring the actions of others within the fairy tale this week during our English sessions. 

Our Famous People topic introduced us to a new person this week - Louis Braille. We were amazed at his clever invention at such a young age. We can now write our own names using the symbols and have read some words - we even felt Braille on some medical boxes.

Some of us have been lucky enough to visit the tiny piglets that were born at New Year. We had be be very quiet and look at them from afar. so we didn’t upset the Mummy Sow and frighten the piglets. They are getting quite big now! We also learnt about fire lighting safely using flammable items and built some winter homes for some animals that like to live in the forest, in order to keep them warm for the cold spell that is due to happen!

























Wrap up warm this weekend - it’s going to be a chilly one! Have cosy time!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

What a fantastic first week back in 2019 Year 2 have had!

The children have started their new topic on Famous Five and shared some amazing people with us. What an incredible selection! From Taylor Swift to David Attenborough, from Steve Backshall to her Majesty the Queen!  You will soon be seeing their choices in our Hall of Fame gallery in the corridor.

We have been learning all about the Great Fire of London and the marvels of Samuel Pepys and his diary. We have wondered what he must have thought when he first sighted the fire and what we would choose save in such a dreadful situation.

There has been a lot of thinking about 3D shape this week; especially about their properties and the special names for each part. Some fabulous models have been made to show their understanding.












Forest School for 2F this week involved fire lighting and making God;s Eye models using fire colours - these looked beautiful and very dramatic!









Have a lovely weekend everybody!
