We are so proud with how hard the children have worked this year. You have all become such kind, respectful and resilient people. We hope you have an exciting, restful and rejuvenating summer. Good luck to all the Doves, Robins and Owls in Year 3!
This week Year 2 went on an amazing trip to The London Wetland Centre in Barnes. In science, we have been looking at Animal habitats so the Wetland Centre was the perfect trip for us. We travelled on the 33 to the centre, and we were so impressed with how sensible the children were on the bus. When we arrived we explored all the amazing grounds and saw so many types of birds including a huge crane. Then we went and saw some Asian small clawed Otters, luckily it was feeding time, so we saw them diving for fish. Additionally, we did a workshop on pond life and did some pond dipping. We learnt all about how different animals can survive underwater, and we saw some frogs. Finally, we went to a fantastic adventure playground and enjoyed playing in some water. This was great because it was such a hot day!
We have had a fantastic week in Year 2. We did some wonderfully, creative writing in English. Year 2 created twisted tales swapping around the good and the evil character in the story of the 3 Little pigs. In maths, we have been recapping on the 4 operations, and we were so impressed at how well Year 2 retained their knowledge on this subject. On Friday it was the KS1 Sports Day. We had an amazing time on the field competing lots of activities. We were very impressed with Year 2's resilient attitude and for working so hard. Well done everyone!
Year 2 have been super busy this week. In English, we have been reading and exploring a range of traditional tales. We then had fun acting out different parts of the stories as well as discussing our favourite characters. Next, we planned and wrote the beginning of our own traditional tales but with a twist. We have been so thrilled and proud of all the children for producing such beautiful and detailed writing. In maths, we have been continuing with learning about different units of measure. We have been busy solving problems involving weight, length and capacity. In history, we have been learning about the historic work of Florence Nightingale and Mary Seacole. We learnt about their contributions to nursing and the importance of remembering their work. We then sketched some detailed portraits of them. What a great week of learning we have had!
