What a fantastic start to the new half-term!

In Geography, we have been learning all about our place in the world. This week, we revisited our Year 1 learning about the continents and oceans, using atlases to help us label and locate them accurately.

In English, we began our new story, Lost and Found by Oliver Jeffers. The children have loved retelling the story through acting and sequencing, and have been learning about expanded noun phrases. They then put their skills into practice by creating wonderful missing posters for the penguin!

In Maths, we have continued our work on addition and subtraction, focusing on adding to the next ten and using this strategy to help us add one-digit numbers to two-digit numbers.

In Art, we have been sketching pumpkins, looking carefully at the lines and textures we use. This is great preparation for our upcoming clay sculptures at the end of the unit.

We are also busy rehearsing for our Christmas production — learning lines, acting, and singing with lots of energy and enthusiasm!

We have been so impressed with how Year 2 have come back after half-term with such a positive, can-do attitude. Their enthusiasm and determination have really shone through, and we can’t wait to see all the amazing progress they make this term!
