YEAR 2 BLOG

Year 2 are really enjoying our gymnastics topic this term.

This week we have been experimenting with clay, creating tiles and pots. We used a range of equipment to design our clay in different ways. Next week we will be trying to create an African pot. 

We have started gymnastics in PE. We enjoyed rolling, rocking and rolling and travelling on benches in a straddle position.

We can’t believe it is the end of another term in year 2. 2S ended the term making chocolate nests to go in our Easter baskets. It was a lovely end to the work we have done to help us remember why Easter is a special time in the Catholic Church. 

As part of our science learning, we have been finding out about habitats. This week we planned an investigation to find out what a woodlouse habitat is like. Ask us what we have found out!

Year 2 have enjoyed tasting, designing and then making our own dips by chopping the ingredients and then blending them up safely. Mrs Southward was very impressed with our yummy guacamole but the salsa did end up a bit watery!

In year 2 we have celebrated science week through racing with a partner to find the correct animal for the adaptation clues. We also did some yoga, moving our bodies like sea creatures we saw at the sealife centre. In 2S we love being scientists!

We had a lovely day enjoying lots of stories and doing lots of story activities. We very much enjoyed ending the day in 2S with a cup of chocolate milk, a cookie and a bedtime story!

Today we have started a new unit in English learning all about fairy tales. We tried to remember as many as we could and thought about which were our favourite. We talked through the story of Little Red Riding Hood and decided to make some cakes for Grandma. We are looking forward to eating…

Today the children in 2S went on a trip all the way to Blackpool Sealife Centre. We saw so many different sea creatures including rays, sharks, turtles and lots of different types of fish. We are learnt about the different habitats each animal lived in. We all really enjoyed ourselves. Ask us all…

Today we had some special visitor in school to teach us some tennis skills. We had to practise using the racquet and controlling the ball, we even tried to serve the ball over the net. It was very exciting! 

2S have been exploring colour mixing and have used their new skills to create some silhouette pictures. We are really impressed with how amazing they all look. Here is just one example.
