Year 2

Welcome to Year Two's class page

Mrs Finn, Mrs Pike and Mrs Hart 

(finn.j@welearn365.com, houghton.l@welearn365.com)

 

We designed our own dragons and described them using similes and exciting adjectives

Science materials topic - which material would be the most suitable for an Astronappy?

Safety Seymour virtual visit to our class

Science - this week we were investigating the best material to make blackout curtains for a bear's cave.

Maths

During our recent parent telephone calls, some parents asked about ideas to support their child with maths at home, aswell as completing their maths homework pages.

We would recommend quick fire questions asked in a fun way that focus on speedy recall of pairs to 10, then pairs to 20, mental maths addition and subtraction within 20 (eg 7 + 12=, 18 - 5 =) and multiplication and division facts for the 2, 5 and 10 times tables.

Below are links to websites that you may wish to look at for further games and ideas.

If you have any questions please ask.

 

  • Topmarks - maths A range of games and activities for 5-7 year olds covering all aspects of maths.
  • Hit the button Against the clock challenges to practise number bonds, addition and subtraction, doubling and halving, times tables and division facts.
  • NRich Activites to help practise thinking like a mathematician. Look for 'lower primary' activities and choose carefully - not all will be appropriate.

Dragon Sighting!

Year two have discovered a mysterious egg in the school forest. There have since been sightings of a baby dragon so we advise that if you see an unusual flying animal, please do not approach it!

Evidence from the forest and our descriptions and reports of it!

Remembrance day - poppy painting and poetry.

Great Fire of London display and character descriptions of Samuel Pepys.

Hope - year 2's class collective worship

The children have worked hard to create a class assembly video introducing our new whole school value 'Hope'. If you would like to watch the video, please follow this internal link to the video resource centre where you will find it in the 'Class Collective Worship' folder. 

Enjoy!

This week the children have been learning about 'Protective behaviours'. Please click on the links below for further information. There are a few photos to show the activities the children have taken part in to learn about keeping ourselves safe.

Protective Behaviours

We played a balloon game to discuss fun to feel scared Will the balloon pop? Very tactical so the balloon does not pop confident! Will it pop? We talked about our safe place. We drew it and described it. We recognised our Early Warning Signs.

Black History Month - We have learned about the live of Mary Seacole and Mary Prince

It has been great to welcome Year 2 back to school and we've already had a brilliant week and a half together. Please keep an eye on this class web page as it is where we will share information about how best to support learners in Year 2, plus we'll be sure to keep you up to date with what we've been up to at school.

What a wonderful world

Still image for this video
After reading 'Here we are, notes for living on planet Earth', we started thinking about all of the amazing things we love about our wonderful world. The children had lots of great ideas. Then we wrote, illustrated and performed our own new and improved version of the song 'What wonderful world'. We hope you enjoy it!
