  • Imaginary friends and working together

    Published 28/09/22

    In Year 2, we have had a very productive learning week. In English, we enjoyed reading the story of '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 and compare numbers.

    In History, we have continued to look at the events of the Great Fire of London. We put the events in order on a timeline. We also learnt at the importance of Samuel Pepys and the importance of his diary during the fire.

    In Science, we have been sorting classroom objects into different categorise. The children had to work as a group to make decisions and listen to each other. They enjoyed putting all the objects back into their correct classroom places too.

  • A historical dig, number bonds and making gloop!

    Published 15/09/22

    Year 2 have had a great start to the Autumn term! We have enjoyed reading the Day the Crayons Quit and wrote about the crayons looks, personality and feelings. We also made inferences based on what we had read. We have also started looking at commands and using 'bossy' verbs to give instructions! 

    In maths, we have been recapping our number bonds to 10 and 20. We then checked our answers using a bar model and have moved onto comparing numbers using greater and less than symbols. 

    In history, we have begun our topic of the Great Fire of London. We went on a dig and found some artefacts which we then explored and came up with questions about what they could be.

    In science, we had lots of fun making gloop as part of our experiment! We investigated what happened when we mixed cornflour and water together and then left in to set.
