This term, our topic is called ‘Life as a Journey’. For our Art to Start, we explored some of the incredible insect specimens in resin that we have at RAPS! They reminded us of our Pfizer workshops in STEAM week, when we studied different creatures encased in resin too. From this, we drew observational drawings of the beautiful minibeasts we had seen! We especially enjoyed drawing so intricately by using the magnifying glasses to see closer! Come and have a look at our Art to Start display once it goes up inside our classroom!
This week, Yr 2 have been getting outside for some gardening. We began Thursday with a talk by Wilderness to Wonderland, a voluntary organisation who look after community gardens around Thanet. We will be helping them by nurturing some baby plants until they are big enough to be planted at Margate train station.
We really enjoyed planting the tiny plug plants into bigger pots. Now all we need to do is keep them watered and happy!

Welcome back to Term 5 at RAPS! What a wonderful start to the term with a visit to our new permanent display on the RAPS staircase titled '420 Hands Taking a Line for a Walk'. We really enjoyed spotting children in pictures and looking at the illustrations...! Today, we also started to explore and learn about equal rights and human rights! Ask us all about it.
What a fabulous end to Term 4 with the KS1 Easter Bonnet Parade! Year 2 had so much fun walking up and down the KS2 corridor and around the playground sharing their stunning creations (and trying to stop them from blowing away)! Happy Easter from all the Year 2 team! We will see you on Monday 20th April after a well-deserved and hopefully sunny Easter break :)
Year 2 have been writing poems inspired by our core text, 'Beegu.' We discussed alliteration, onomatopoeia, rhyme and repetition. Their poems were fantastic! They represented the emotions and events in the story. Today we practised and performed our poems, focusing on using expression and a clear voice. Well done everyone!
