Emerald Class  (Year 2)

Year 2 have had a fantastic start to the year and the children have all come back to school showing amazing learning behaviours. 

We have already been very busy!

In our English lessons we have been thinking about endangered and extinct animals whilst looking at the book The Journey Home by Fran Preston-Gannon.

It is our turn for forest school, here we are enjoying and exploring. 

Here we are learning all about place value in maths. 
       

In art we have been looking at ways to add texture and tone to our drawings. We began this process by taking rubbings outside and seeing how we could make our picture look bumpy or smooth. We then moved on to observational drawings where we tried to make our drawings of teddies look fluffy! 

During our science lessons we have been thinking about our overall unit question 'How do animals, including humans change, grow and stay healthy?'. Here we are measuring our feet to see if we all grow the same amount!

In our English lessons we have started our new book 'Goldilocks and the three bears' by Lauren Child. 

World Kindness day 2025

We came into school wearing our odd socks, celebrating our differences and reminding everyone to be kind. 

Robot Dog

We were very lucky to have a visit from a robot dog! This was an amazing opportunity to see technology and engineering come to life. The children thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Thank you to Mr and Mrs Lynch for such a fantastic experience!

 We have had a busy start to the new term, the children have come back full of enthusiasm and ready to learn. 

We have started our dance unit in PE where the children are learning a winter dance. Here the children are moving and making shapes like icicles. We are so impressed with how the children move to the music. 

 In art we have been using maps as a stimulus for our own art work. Below we are enjoying making 3D maps.

We loved our trip to Co-op. We found many items with the fairtrade sticker and talked all about fairtrade.

In maths we have been measuring and comparing! 

 In PE we have been doing gymnastics.
