Year 2 really enjoyed having a look at different seeds and bulbs on Friday afternoon, learning where they are from and whether humans eat them! It was lots of fun exploring what they looked, smelt and felt like and comparing appearances. We even planted our own sunflowers! Ask us all about it!
Our Year 2 classes had a splash-tastic time this morning exploring capacity and volume outside! Using water and all sorts of measuring containers, the kids compared, poured, and read scales in millilitres like pros. They loved guessing which containers held a greater capacity and then finding out for themselves —plus, who doesn’t enjoy some fun water play?
To kick start our new book "Beegu", we investigated a crash landing in the playground. We heard a strange crashing sound, and discovered a mysterious glittery trail. It led us all the way to the playground where we saw a broken spaceship. We were so excited to find a little yellow ear peaking out of the spaceship, and we have written some INCREDIBLE recounts of the event. We cannot wait to do more writing about Beegu!
This week's spelling will be handed out on Friday 16th May. Children can bring these in on Friday 23rd of May in exchange for house points. They will be tested on this Friday. Please find attached the spellings below.

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!
Please find attached the spellings for Week 3! They will be given out Friday 9th May and the children will be tested on the following Friday (16th May!).
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!
Please find attached this week's spelling for the RWI/Hybrid children and for the English chidlren! They will be given out on Friday 2nd May and children will be tested on Friday 9th May. As usual, sheets can be traded in on Friday for house points!
