Emerald Class 2 (Year 2)

 Welcome to Emerald Class 2!

 Autumn 1

The children have had a fantastic start to the autumn term and are showing some amazing learning behaviours. They have settled back into the school routine very well and we are all so proud of them.

We have had an exciting week this week as the children have returned to Forest School. The children love learning outside and it is so wonderful to see them working as a team and exploring the wealth of learning opportunities we can find outdoors. 

                                 Autumn 2

In English we have been reading Goldilocks and the three bears. We have been choosing adjectives and the information we have learnt from the book to describe her character.

During our art lessons, we have been using drawing to tell a story. At the end of the unit we made concertina books to take our character on a journey. 

 Spring 1

In maths we have been learning all about money. The children have been recognising coins, comparing amounts and finding change. 

In English we are reading the text The bear under the stairs by Helen Cooper. 

In science we have been learning all about materials. We enjoyed conducting a science experiment to find out which material was best to protect Humpty Dumpty.

 Spring 2

In gymnastics we have been learning to use the apparatus safely. We have been learning to move high and low and in sequences. 

In science we have been learning about plants, here we are investigating if all seeds are the same.
