Making Pumpkin Soup

We had lots of fun making pumpkin soup this week to help us with our learning in English! The children loved getting stuck in, exploring the ingredients and helping to make our very own soup. There was lots of excitement as we worked together and followed each step of the recipe! This lovely hands-on experience will help the children as they get ready to plan and write their own set of instructions. They will be thinking carefully about the order of the steps and using time words and bossy verbs to explain how to make pumpkin soup. What a lovely way to bring our learning to life!

 Year 2 Remember Remembrance Day 

Year 2 have really enjoyed getting creative and making their own beautiful poppies to mark Remembrance Day. 🌺

The children showed great care and thoughtfulness as they created their poppies, learning about why we wear them and the importance of remembering those who have served and sacrificed for us.

We are very proud of their lovely creations and the respect they have shown. ❤️

Lest We Forget. 🌺

Monster Madness in Year 2! 

Year 2 have had a monstrously good time dressing up in their fantastic monster outfits and getting creative in the classroom! 👹

The children loved showing off their spooky, silly and colourful costumes before letting their imaginations run wild as they designed and made their very own monsters! 🎨✂️

There were some wonderfully weird and wacky creations, and lots of smiles and laughter along the way!

What a ROAR-some time we had! 🐾💚

 

Playtime

What wonderful teamwork we have been seeing at playtime between Year 1 and Year 2! The children have been working together brilliantly, using their creativity and imagination to build fantastic dens and design exciting obstacle courses. It has been lovely to see them sharing ideas, helping one another and encouraging their friends as they take on new challenges. There have been lots of smiles, laughter and fantastic problem-solving skills on display! We are so proud of the kindness, cooperation and friendships being shown across both year groups. What amazing little team players we have! 🌟👏💕

Art

This week, Year 2 have been exploring the wonderful world of colour! The children learnt about primary colours and discovered how mixing them together can create new secondary colours. They had great fun experimenting with different combinations to make green, orange and purple. Using their newly created colours, the children were challenged to paint a beautiful garden picture filled with colourful flowers, plants and nature. They showed fantastic creativity and imagination, producing some wonderful pieces of artwork. We are so proud of our budding artists! 🎨🌸🌼

Maths

Year 2 have been having lots of fun making maths practical by turning addition into an exciting game! They have been practising adding two numbers together, focusing on how quickly and accurately they can work out the answers. It has been wonderful to see their enthusiasm grow as they challenge themselves, build confidence and develop their mental maths skills through playful learning.

Science 

Year 2 had a lovely time exploring the world of animals in our science lesson! They enjoyed learning about different animals and discovering the special habitats they call home. The children were then challenged to match each animal to the correct habitat, sharing their ideas and using their growing knowledge to make thoughtful choices. It was wonderful to see their curiosity and enthusiasm as they explored the many different places animals live!

Poetry Recital

The children have been thoroughly enjoying practising for their poetry recital! They have learnt lots of wonderful poems and have been working hard to remember the words, adding fun actions and expressive movements to bring each poem to life. It has been lovely to see their confidence grow as they perform together, using their voices, actions and enthusiasm to make the poems even more special.

Year 2 have been busy becoming little colour scientists! 🎨🌈 The children had a wonderful time investigating how primary colours can be mixed together to create secondary colours. Using pipettes and coloured water, they carefully experimented with different combinations of red, yellow and blue to discover how to make green, orange and purple. There was lots of excitement as the children watched the colours change before their eyes! This hands-on activity encouraged curiosity, creativity and fantastic investigative skills, whilst also helping to develop their fine motor control. We loved seeing their wonderful discoveries and the joy on their faces as they explored the magic of colour mixing! 💧✨

Celebrating European Day of Languages

The children had a wonderful time celebrating European Day of Languages! 🌍🇪🇺 They enjoyed singing songs, learning how to say “hello” in different languages, and getting creative by designing their very own flags.

Throughout the activities, the children discussed the importance of different languages and how they help us communicate, learn about different cultures, and connect with people around the world. It was a fun and engaging way to celebrate the wonderful variety of languages and cultures around us!

Locating the UK

The children had lots of fun developing their geographical knowledge through an exciting game using an inflatable globe! 🌍

They were challenged to explore the globe and locate the United Kingdom, working together and sharing their ideas about where it might be. The activity encouraged the children to think about where we live in relation to the rest of the world, while developing their understanding of countries and locations in a fun and interactive way.

Making Magic Boxes ✨

In English, we have been exploring the wonderful poem “The Magic Box” by Kit Wright. The children created their own colourful magic boxes and filled them with wonderfully imaginative ideas. We heard about everything from zebras on skateboards to gorillas on the moon! It has been fantastic to see their creativity and imaginations come to life through poetry.

Working Hard with Multiples of 10!

The children have been working hard on understanding multiples of 10. They used ten counters and tens rods, and worked together in pairs to make different multiples of 10. They then challenged themselves by adding multiples of 10 together. Great teamwork and fantastic mathematical thinking!

 

Working Together

We have been showing some fantastic teamwork while solving problems together! The children worked collaboratively to create mazes, build bridges and make symmetrical patterns. It was wonderful to see them sharing ideas, helping one another and using their creativity to find solutions.
