What a busy half term it has been in Year 2! Over the last couple of weeks, we have been finishing our art unit on collage by adding detail and evaluating (Please see some of our masterpieces in the above picture!).

In English, we have been looking at the Oliver Jeffers story, ‘STUCK’ which is all about a little boy who gets his kite stuck in a tree and ends up throwing up all sorts of items in the tree to knock the first one down, with each item getting more and more unbelievable! This week we had a lot of fun writing our own version of the story with a Halloween theme and have been working really hard to make our sentences more exciting by including a variety of sentence starters, adjectives and verbs.

In maths, we have started a new unit on addition and subtraction by recapping our number bonds to ten, writing ‘fact families’ and thinking about related facts.

In science, we have continued our topic on materials by investigating which materials are absorbent and thinking about the suitability of materials and their purpose.

Finally, we have also been doing A LOT of singing in preparation for our Harvest Assemblies this week. The children have worked really hard to learn the lines to the songs and poems and are really looking forward to performing them to you!

We hope you have a wonderful and restful half term break. The Year 2 team.
