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!
Theme Day 2026!
In maths, Year 2 have started to explore division! We thought about what the division symbol means and about what division sentences represent – sharing equally! Then, we had a go at working out some division questions with our talk partners using counters and our steps! Grouping is much easier than we thought and we had lots of fun.
Attached are this week's spelling practice.
Today, we recapped our understanding of what an equal group is, before having a go at making some equal groups ourselves! We were able to represent equal groups using concrete resources and by drawing pictures, including fixing mistakes too! Well done, Year 2!

What a day! Happy World Book Day!
Year 2 have been studying British money. We have learnt how to identify the different coins and notes. This week we practised adding different amounts of money to find the totals, finding change, using different coins to make a given amount and matching coins to totals.
