In PE today year 2 classes joined together for a team building lesson. We played games that could only be won by working together. It was great to watch the children problem solve together and to help each other. 

Year 2 have been very busy rehearsing our Nativity. We hope you are as excited as we are!

Today we have been learning about how God wants us to look after the world He made for us. We talked about all the things we could do. Keeping things clean and tidy was important to many of the children. After that, we went outside with gloves and litter pickers and tidied up our playground. 

Last week, Year 2 began preparation for our science topics next year. We examined bulbs and seeds, learnt about their differences, then we planted daffodil bulbs outside. We hope to observe them grow in Spring!

As a start to our first history topic in year 2 we had a bonfire in the school garden and made a sparkler in class. We will be learning all about The Gunpowder Plot over this half term, I am sure you will hear all about it.

After all of our chopping, peeling and safety learning we finally got to make a smoothie. We designed it ourselves, choosing the ingredients we thought we would like. Then we worked in small groups to make it. We didn’t all like it and have ideas of how to make it better next…

Mrs Finch gave us a guided tour of the church recently. We looked at the parts we don’t normally get to see. It was a really interesting tour and we helped increase our knowledge of our local church. 
 

What a lovely park walk! Year 2 Blessed followed all our school rules and enjoyed their visit to the park. We will be writing all about it soon in English.

Year 2 Blessed have been identifying compass directions in the playground today. We drew what we could see to the North, South, East and West.

We have been busy learning skills in design and technology. We have been peeling, chopping, grating and even removing stones from fruit. We will be designing our smoothie next week and making it the week after!

Today Year 2 Blessed worked really hard in the music lesson. We worked on our timing to try and play the glockenspiel at the right time. We all had great fun and everyone tried hard!

We have been learning about continents in Year 2. This week we made a messy map. The children had great fun making continents and oceans and some even attempted the world! We have learnt a song to help us remember the continent names - ask us to sing it for you!
