Read MoreMaths in Team A-M
Published 03/11/25, by AdminToday we took part in various maths activities to investigate addition. We practised our number bonds to ten and used this knowledge to complete addition problems. Some of us hunted around the walls to spot the sums which were hidden in the classroom. Others played games in pairs to practise number bonds to 20.
Read MoreTeam A-M Art to Start: Andy Goldsworthy
Published 03/11/25, by Kiki AminOur inspiration for Term 2’s Art to Start was the artist, Andy Goldsworthy! We explored his sculptures, discussing the materials he uses and the locations his art is found in. We now know Andy makes sculptures using natural materials in the UK and around the world including in forests, fields or cities. We tried to be like Andy Goldsworthy ourselves! Outside, we used natural materials such as stones, conkers, sticks, leaves, grass and pinecones to create our own sculptures. We loved using our RAPS values of creativity and collaboration to produce some beautiful artwork together.

Read MoreTeam A-M take on some drama!
Published 29/10/25, by Kiki AminToday, we began reading The Secret of Black Rock by Joe Todd-Stanton. We had so much fun seeing the illustrations, waving when we heard key words and phrases and immersing ourselves in our text! We then summarised the text with our partners and created our own roleplays for key moments, thinking carefully about how our characters might be feeling. We loved being the Black Rock, Erin, Archie, sea creatures and the fishermen and fisherwomen! Well done, Year 2

Read More500 Words Competition
Published 15/10/25, by Kiki AminIn English this week, we will be planning our own original stories so that we can enter the BBC's 500 words competition. This is a nationwide short story competition for 5-11 year olds. There are excellent prizes to be won for the children and for the school, as well as a chance to win a ticket to the star-studded final held at Windsor Castle. This year, we will also hold a school-wide competition with some local stars (Mr Holliday, Ms O and guests!) judging our in house winners!
The children will bring their plans/stories home over half-term to finish and edit. They will then need to submit these online to the BBC as well as bring them in to school on Tuesday 21st in order to enter our school competition if they would like to.
Read MoreBrilliant Bug Hotels
Published 13/10/25, by AdminYear 2 had a fantastic time this week building bug hotels as part of our topic, Habitats As Home! The children worked together to design cosy spaces for mini-beasts to live in, using sticks, leaves, pine cones, and recycled materials. We learned how different bugs need different types of habitats to stay safe, warm, and dry. It was wonderful to see the children exploring nature and thinking like real scientists! A huge thank you to all the parents who came in to help — your support made the activity even more special. We can’t wait to see which creatures move in!

Read MoreTeam Amin McCurry count in tens
Published 07/10/25, by AdminIn maths, we are learning to count in 2s, 5s and 10s. Today we did different activities to practice counting in tens. We counted 10p coins to find a total amount. We took handfuls of counters and added them up to find the total. We used paint dabbers to create groups of ten and then counted how many groups we made. We had fun putting pine cones in groups of ten, and even counting how many bugs were hiding inside them!
