English - Summer Term (2) 2022

Over the last few English lessons, we have been planning our latest Big Write. We are creating a non-chronological report using PowerPoint all about Queen Elizabeth II. We have been using our ICT skills to practise opening and saving our files, create a slide show including adding new slides, copy and paste images from google, and use the mouse and keyboard to type with punctuation. 

Our PowerPoints are all set up and ready for us to begin our Big Writes in our next lesson. Well done Year 2, great work!

Maths - Summer Term (2) 2022

This morning, we have been learning about capacity and volume. We have been making predictions of which container would have the most/ least capacity and then experimenting to see if we were right.

We have been using our Maths vocabulary ‘more capacity’, ‘less capacity’, ‘more volume’ and ‘less volume’ to compare.

Spelling Games - Summer Term (2) 2022

Every week in our spellings session, we play spelling games on a 4 week rotation. 

Pairs has been our favourite spelling game... by far!

Hidden behind the boxes are our spelling words, but there are also some words to trick them and catch them out! The aim is to find all the matching pairs before they find the 4 tricky ones. 

However, the class have lost every single time we have played this game... every time- all year! 

Today, we played the game for the final time! They were excited, they were ready, they were pumped... and they

Compare Mass - Summer Term  (2) 2022

In Year 2 we have been learning about animals and their offspring. We have found out that offspring are baby animals.

Teacher Takeover Day

What great inspirations we’ve got in class, and great to see the confidence of our class teaching and sharing their skills with their peers.

We’ve definitely got some future teachers in our class, it was lovely to see them take charge and use all the techniques I use in class- though I think some of them realised it’s not as easy as it seems to keep a whole class concentrated and involved, the behavior chart had to be used a few times.

So lovely to see all the passions and skills from our class. Well done to all who took part.

Summer Term  (2) 2022 

We’ve continued our singing sessions with Junior Jam practicing different skills to help us.

Summer Term (1) 2022

This term our new topic which is all about Queen Elizabeth II. We began by looking at different British Monarchs of our past and ordering them in a timeline.

We also chatted about the current Royal Family, though we only knew about Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Philip (the class knew he had died last year, but didn’t know who he was), and Prince Harry (the class thought he could have been the Queen’s son, husband or nephew).
 

We have been finding out all about our Royal Family. We learnt about Queen Elizabeth II, her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren following the line of succession.

Litter Picking - Spring Term (2) 2022

Year 2 were incredible when we went litter picking. They were so precise and specific and were not willing to let even the tiniest bit of rubbish stay on the ground.

They were shocked with the amount of rubbish we found, and have already been asking when they can go again.
