Last week, Year 2 class explored what to do in an emergency and how to speak to emergency responders if needed. We clarified what makes an ‘emergency’ and recapped the types of emergency responders (police, firefighters, paramedics, coastguard etc.), before exploring what dialling 999 actually means. We practised how to stay calm and ask for help and what important information to share, such as our name, where we might be, and what has happened. We also talked about what we could do if we were in an emergency but unable to call 999 – e.g. being lost. To build our confidence, we roleplayed dialling 999 and having a conversation with a responder in an emergency. Our challenge now is to learn our key personal information if there ever was an emergency.
Monday mornings start with some mindfulness activities in year 2.

STEAM Week at Ramsgate Arts – Week Beginning 2nd February
Our annual Road Safety Workshop! We learnt about what to look out for when we are on the roads, who are safe adults are, top tips for staying safe when crossing or waiting to cross and even different types of crossings! Why not ask us as we really are turning into road safety experts!
Inspired by Lola, we tried some new foods. We tried: tomatoes, black olives, red Leicester cheese, cantaloupe melon and limes. We orally planned sentences to describe the flavours and textures. We enjoyed being resilient and trying some new things.
Ask what we enjoyed!
What a fun Maths lesson we had this morning making and talking about the properties of different 2D shapes! Ask us all about it! We have been learning about sides and vertices and about what makes a shape... a shape!

Recognising 2D and 3D Shapes
This term, our new topic ‘Healthy Bodies, Healthy Minds’ involves learning about how to keep ourselves healthy and happy! For our Art to Start, we explored the works of Giuseppe Arcimboldo who used fruit, vegetables and other objects in his artwork. Inspired by these and by our growing knowledge of what a portrait is, we used fresh fruit and vegetables to create our own self-portraits in the style of Arcimboldo! Take a look at us in action! Best of all, we got to eat our work after and try some vegetables like lettuce, lemons and peppers!
