The children have had a great week back and settled into Year 2 really well.

We are looking forward to a fantastic year of learning together.

Thank you for completing your holiday books. We have enjoyed reading them together.

English

We role played being Burglar Bill and wrote some questions for him when he was in the hot seat. We wrote sentences about what information we knew about him.

Maths

We have been working on place value this week.

The children used base ten to make two-digit numbers.

They also did a lot of counting and recapped adding and taking 1 and 10 from a number.

RE

We spent time looking at the Bible and discussing any stories we had already heard.

The children learnt that their are two parts - The Old Testament and The New Testament.

They even started to recognise whether a story was written in The Old or New Testament.

Geography

Our new topic is Continents and Oceans.

The children labelled a world map with all seven continents.

History

The Great Fire of London - we watched a video clip about how the fire started.

The children drew a scene from the fire labelling it with things they had learned.

PE

The children have revisited the fundamental skills of underam throwing and catching.

They played mini-games and displayed fantastic team work.

Art

We discussed the work of Andy Goldsworthy. We then went outside and chose different things to sketch. We looked very closely at what we were drawing.

Forest School

We had a look at all the fruit growing on our trees. We tidied up the nature area by working together to collect all the rubbish which has appeared over the holiday. We reminded ouselves about keeing safe at Forest School. We chose our own learning and demonstrated superb problem solving, teamwork and resilience.

Science

We started our new learning about Living Things. We sorted pictures of objects into groups ,living and dead. We then added another group which was things which have never been alive. We sang a great song about our learning which included the life processes which living things have.
