Welcome to Year 2!

2022- 2023

We are very excited here in Year 2, to start the new academic year. 

The staff working with you in year 2 are: Mrs Taggart, Miss Robinson, Mrs Pulley, Miss Szalasna and Mrs Holmes.

We are looking forward to a really busy year ahead!

As the oldest children in Key Stage 1, we try to set a good example to the younger children. We are always busy in class, where lots of creative and fun learning takes place during all our lessons. We are always encouraged to be happy, work hard and treat each other with kindness as Jesus taught us.

We really enjoyed working with our Faith Friends in Year 4 today. We helped them to make Advent Boxes. We had some good discussions about Advent and reminded ourselves that we are now in the season of waiting and preparation. We thought about what we could do to make sure that we are all ready to welcome Jesus on Christmas Day. Then, we filled the boxes with a special promise.

2021 - 2022

We are learning how to draw a map in Geography. We did a survey around our school site to see what buildings and other features we would need to include on our maps.

Have you seen our magnificent murals in the playground yet? The children in Year 2 planned, designed and painted them all by themselves!

We have investigated a range of different materials in our Science lessons. We tested and compared them to find out which material would be the most suitable to make a pencil case.

We learned about King Canute and listened to the story of him ordering the tide to stop rolling in. We had a lot of fun acting out the story in small groups!

We designed and sculpted some Ancient Egyptian artefacts in our Art lessons. Look at these fabulous creations!

The children created posters to show how the Romans changed the lives of the British people. 

We were inspired by the book ‘Snow Bears’ by Martin Waddell and the frosty and snowy weather this week to make some wintery pictures.

We had great fun in our Science lesson this week investigating micro habitats in our Year 2 garden!

Vocations Day

Sunday 25th April was Vocations Sunday. We marked the occasion by dressing up as what we want to be when we are older as a way of thinking about what God is calling us to be.

We love playing and working in our garden! It is great fun to find things outside and create a collage with it. Some of us enjoy looking for worms, ladybirds and other creepy-crawlies!

We have been learning how to find half and a quarter of a number. We know now that to find half we have to share equally into 2 groups and to find a quarter we share into 4 equal groups.

2CR and 2JT are creating a tapestry. We worked hard on preparing our tiles for printing. Can you guess what the theme is?
