We have had a very busy week in Year 2! In maths, we have been looking at different kinds of measurement and the units that we use to measure things. We spent time estimating the length of objects in the classroom and then measuring them with rulers. In English, we wrote a diary entry as a poor Victorian child. All of Year 2 were excellent at getting into role and describing their horrifying days working in a factory or as a chimney sweep. How dangerous it must have been! Finally, in art we have continued our topic of printmaking. This time we created repeated patterns using natural materials we found on the school ground.

Year 2 have had a busy and fun start back to the last half -term.

Year 2 have started the summer term off brilliantly! We have enjoyed looking at the stories of Anthony Browne. He writes picture books and the detail in his books is amazing. We started with the story of Zoo and wrote a character description for the character of Dad. We used some ambitious words with suffixes. For example, disrespectful, thoughtless and meanness. In history, we have enjoyed exploring the Victorian era and learnt some facts about Queen Victoria. In DT, we made our sandwiches and really enjoyed eating them!

This week, Year 2 have created their own magical setting for them to jump into, inspired by Mary Poppins. We thought about what activities we would do, what food we would eat and how we would be feeling on this adventure. We then used this plan to create a diary entry documenting this magical day out. In maths, we have continued to look at multiplication and applied these skills to answer word problems. Year 2 have enjoyed learning about India, we have been listening to Ravi Shankar and creating artwork inspired by Akbar Padamsee’s landscapes.
