We are happy to be back in school this week! As mathematicians, we have been comparing lengths and heights. We recorded our own measurements of items in the classroom and recorded these by using mathematical vocabulary such as longest, long and longer.

This week, with the increasing temperatures, school will be closed to staff and pupils on Wednesday and Thursday.  Please find a list of activities that your children may want to complete at home. Stay safe, stay hydrated and we will see you at 8:35am

This week is art week! As artists, we were visited by a real artist Liz Raynor. She showed us some of her artwork, talked through and showed us different techniques that we could try in our art lessons and finished with a question and answer session.

It has been another busy week in Year 2! As computer scientists, we had our termly e-safety lesson. This term our focus is to be able to describe and explain some rules for keeping personal information private. We started by discussing what personal information is (passwords,

Welcome back to the last academic term of the year! As scientists, we have been learning about the diets of animals. We learned that animals can be classified into 3 groups based on their diets. These groups are herbivores (eat plants), carnivores (eat meat) and omnivores

It is the end of term!  As scientists, we have been thinking about habitats and what would happen to the animals if the habitat changed. We asked our own questions and researched the answers. We found out that most animals and plants wouldn’t survive if the

It has been another productive week in Year 2! As computer scientists, we have been listening to the music by Holst. He produced a number of pieces which he named after the planets. We used key words to describe the music and drew a picture showing

We can’t believe that we are already half way through the term! As mathematicians, we have been answering problem solving and reasoning questions about 3D shapes. We needed to apply our fluency knowledge and the word because to justify our thinking.

It has been another busy week in Year 2! As computer scientists, we thought about guidance on how to use technology in different environments and settings. We all agreed that technology is great, but in moderation! We need to look after ourselves by taking regular breaks

Welcome back to a brand new term! As mathematicians, we are now taking part in a times table challenge called the 41 club. It is designed to improve our times table speed and accuracy. We will complete the activity in class and bring home our sheets
