This week in English, we looked at the story of 'Up and Down' by Oliver Jeffers in which the penguin character goes to join a circus! We then thought about what acts we would have at our circus and came up with ideas like a human cannonball and a dancing unicorn! We then described our circus persuasively using description and show not tell like 'eyes pop' and 'heart sing'. In history, we decorated boxes to create houses from the Great Fire of London and in PE we started learning small steps to complete some traditional Welsh dancing. In maths, we practised using our number facts and this will help us next week with missing number problems. We also learnt about the significance of poppies on Remembrance Day. 

Year 2 have had a busy end to this half-term making autumn crowns and singing harvest songs. We have been so impressed with all the children's enthusiasm and joy to be singing together so beautifully. In English, we

In Year 2, we have had a very productive learning week. In English, we enjoyed reading the story, 'Imaginary Fred' and created our own imaginary friends. We then wrote a character description of our new friend. In Maths, we demonstrated our understanding of number and place value, showing that we were able to partition numbers, order numbers and compare numbers. In History, we learnt about Samuel Peyps and the importance of his diary during the Great Fire of London. 

In Science, we learnt about predictions and observations in an experiment. We observed what happened to a peeled orange and an unpeeled orange when put in water. Do you know what would happen? The peeled orange sank and the unpeeled orange floated! This is because the peel contains little pickets of air- which essentially keeps the orange afloat!

In Art, we explored using paint mixed with materials such as glitter, straw and crayons to see what would be effective for our Great Fire of London paintings. We are looking forward to painting these next week. 

Year 2 have had a fabulous start to the new term! We have enjoyed having the chance to do indoor PE, playing together in the playground, eating lunch together and having live assemblies! In English, we started looking at the story of the Day the Cray

Year 2 have had a very busy and exciting week! In history, we researched all about Mary Seacole and then wrote a fact page about her. In maths, we have enjoyed collecting information and sorting it using Venn diagrams and Carroll diagrams. We enjoyed finding out our classes favourite fruit and then creating a bar chart to show the data. We also enjoyed learning colours in French and thinking about what tools we can use to stay calm and happy as part of our Zones of Regulation. We enjoyed going to the computing suite and spending some time on Busy Things. We all completed Scooter training at the end of the week and had lots of fun learning how to stay safe while riding our scooters.
