Poetry Recital 

Our Wonderful Year 2 class practised performing their poems ahead of our poetry recital. 
 

 

Remembrance Day PE

During PE, Year 2 learnt about The Lambeth Walk and had a go at performing it themselves. They learnt about counting to a beat of 8 to help keep the rhythm of a dance.

Maths

Year 2 have learnt about using known facts, such as 2+5 to help them answer trickier questions, such as 42 + 5. The children used part-whole models and tens and ones to support their answers.

Cursive Writing

We have been working hard in Year 2 on our cursive handwriting. We have practised 'k' and linked it to our 'kn' spelling rule. Take a look below!

Science

In our recent science lessons, the children have been learning all about the life cycles of animals. From eggs to adults, they explored how different creatures grow and change. Each child created their very own life cycle wheel to show what they learned - and we had some fantastic class discussions along the way! Take a look at their amazing work below!

Music

Key Stage 1 enjoyed a fantastic music assembly with Trafford Music Service. The children learnt about a variety of musical instruments and enjoyed joining in. 
 

Computing

The children used technology to act out how we use technology in real life. The children shared that we see technology in:

• supermarkets 
• offices
• schools
•  museums

Maths

The children used equipment, ten frames, part whole models and bar models to represent adding 3 one digit numbers. 
 

World Mental Health Day

For World Mental Health Day, the children celebrated how wonderfully God made each and every one of us. They reflected on how God has given everyone unique gifts and special talents that make us who we are. After listening to the story You Be You, the children drew beautiful pictures of themselves, celebrating their individuality and the special gifts God has placed within them.

Playtime

Year 2 have enjoyed playing with our new playtime equipment- lots of basic and fundamental skills brewing put into practise. 
 

Languages Day

Our class celebrated Languages Day by sharing the languages they know, the languages spoken in their families, and new languages they have been learning. To highlight how languages open our hearts and minds and bring us together, the children created a vibrant “people chain” representing the diversity of languages in our community. They also made colourful posters and drawings to showcase their favourite words and phrases from different languages, making the day both creative and meaningful.

As part of our place value unit, Year 2 delved into two-digit numbers. The children explored the value of each digit in a hands-on way, using items from our playground to represent tens and ones, making learning both active and fun.

PSHE

During our PSHE lessons we have been learning about our families and exploring how different families are and importantly, what our families provide for us.
