What we have been up to so far this term.....
Sports Day
A great way to start our sports day fun.
Jasdeep yoga got us all ready and raring to go...
We completed 4 activities during the day which were Wimbledon, Olympics, Rugby and Football.
We had so much fun on our sports day and really enjoyed each challenge.
Well done to everybody, and especially the girls who won our class prizes.
Stem Engineering Project
We have had a brilliant morning this morning completing our engineering project.
It was not easy and there were some tricky, intricate parts but everyone of us gave it our all and had lots of fun testing out our engineering skills.
We also liked learning about the STEM work and finding out how important it is to our everyday lives... see if the children can remember what STEM stands for at home.
I definitely see some future STEM careers in this class...
Here are our final PowerPoint presentations about The Queen.
We have worked hard using different ICT skills to copy, paste and resize images, to use the keypad to move and manoeuvre images and text and to use the keyboard to type. As well as using the internet for our research.
Great work everyone.

This afternoon, Year 2 have been celebrating our differences and our uniqueness. We created some self-portraits to show the diversity of our class.
