Our amazing Year 2s voted for their Junior Leadership Team representatives yesterday afternoon, discussing links to democracy again whilst choosing classmates to help share ideas and make positive changes across the school. To all those not elected, we loved seeing you all show such amazing resilience and supporting your peers with kindness! Congratulations to our new reps!
Year 2 have been working on some incredible storyboards and narrative retelling this week! We have even started to explore using a purple pen to edit. Tomorrow, we take on the challenge of being a teacher and checking and revising ourselves! What fun!

We have started to compare objects and 1 and 2-digit numbers up to 100 this week! We know to check the tens column first before looking at the ones. To practise comparing different numbers, we collaborated with talk partners, each building different numbers and then deciding together which symbol we would use! Why not test us?
Attached are this week's spellings.
Today, we read the rest of our wonderful first core text of the year, 'The Snail and the Whale'. We then reordered the key events of the story into chronological order using time connectives such as ‘first’, ‘then’ and ‘after that’ to order each section of the story. In small groups, we acted out the key events of the story, and had a choice to narrate the story or act it out as each of the characters. This was lots of fun, and we were able to use our great drama skills to retell our narrative. Ask us all about it!
On Friday afternoon, we created some stunning artwork inspired by Daniel Mackie, an illustrator who draws detailed habitats inside the shapes of various creatures. We discussed the colours used and we thought carefully about the habitats some animals in our local area live in as well! Have a look at our wonderful work when it goes up on our classroom walls! Well done, Year 2!
On Monday, we are visiting Newington Library...
