Our PE days will be on Tuesdays and Fridays so please wear your PE kits to school on these days.
Please encourage your child/children with their home reading and talk with them about the stories they are reading and the characters that they may come across.
Keep a look out for photos of our learning and fun on our class page and social media.
Cultural Week - Brazil
Throughout this week, we have been learning all about Brazil. Please see some of our pictures below of our wonderful week. We hope you enjoy!
Design and Technology
In DT, the children in Year 2 have been working extremely hard to construct their chairs for Baby Bear. They have had to consider what 3D shape is the most stable for their structure and how the client (Baby Bear) would want their chair to look. We think the end products look fabulous and are really proud of our achievements!
Smithills Farm
Year 2 had a brilliant time at Smithills Farm this week, they enjoyed petting the different animals, donkey rides, tractor rides and best of all a visit to Father Christmas. What a wonderful day!
First Aid
Year 2 earned their bronze First Aid certificate with Panda Paramedics. They learned how to apply a plaster and bandage correctly, how to use an adrenaline pen if someone was having an anaphylactic shock and how to call 999 in a medical emergency. We had lots of fun practicing all of these skills on each other!
Year 2 Visit Pizza Express!
Year 2 had a fantastic time at Pizza Express, where they got hands-on experience making their very own margherita pizzas!
During the trip, the children learned about food hygiene, discovered where different ingredients come from, and enjoyed the exciting process of creating their own delicious pizzas from scratch.
A big thank you to Pizza Express for such a fun and educational visit - we're sure those pizzas tasted even better knowing they made them themselves!
VE Day!
What a fabulous time Year 2 had celebrating VE Day! We wrote diary entries as if we were there in 1945, imagining the joy of dancing, waving flags, and sharing cakes at a lively street party. We even enjoyed our own picnic lunch together as a school at lunch time!
Year 2 Become Texture Detectives!
This week, Year 2 took on the exciting role of texture detectives during their art lesson. The children explored the outdoors to find natural resources that matched different texture descriptions such as prickly, soft, rough, and more. Back in the classroom, they used their discoveries as inspiration to recreate these textures using paint.
They experimented with a variety of tools and materials to apply the paint in creative ways, bringing each texture to life on paper. It was a wonderfully hands-on session that sparked curiosity, creativity, and a lot of fun!
