Team Amin-McCurry (Yr2)

In Year 2, we had a great time exploring mass using balance scales and lots of classroom objects like books, pens, toy animals, and fruit on Friday! There were lots of surprises and laughter as we compared different objects! We worked collaboratively, talking about our findings, and used words like “heavier,” “lighter,” and “equal” whilst working out how many cubes were equal to the mass of.... Ask us all about it!

Have you seen Year 2's Art to Start? For our Art to Start, we had a choice of two creative tasks! Some of us created our own 3D paper bugs using a step by step method, and some of us explored the incredible insect specimens in resin. From this, we drew some stunning observational drawings of the beautiful minibeasts we had seen! It was so much fun cutting, colouring, sticking and being as creative as possible with our 3D creations, but we also especially enjoyed drawing so intricately from what we could see! Well done Year 2!

We have a new Topic in Year 2! Last week, after recapping our learning from our 'Healthy Body, Healthy Minds' unit from a few terms ago, we used our existing knowledge to create cue cards about how living creatures survive. We are going to use these cards to help recall facts on food chains, habitats, and living processes. We cannot wait to test our friends on our learning!

What a wonderful morning we have had taking part in the Little Ships workshop in our Art lesson! We had so much fun! Ask us all about it :)

What a lovely afternoon out!

We have been working on our resilience and kindness so far this week! Yesterday, we talked about how using positive and kind words can help others and ourselves develop our resilience. To put our learning into action, we undertook some tricky tasks and encouraged our partners to keep trying! We know that making mistakes is how we learn! But also... we love speed stacking in Year 2!
