Mrs Kearns Year 2 2020 -2021

We had amazing fun this afternoon! We worked collaboratively to design and build towers.
We used marshmallows and spaghetti!
I heard children using some super vocabulary, including ‘gravity’ and ‘diagonal’.
Well done, everyone!

Today was the launch of anti-bullying week, so to celebrate the fact that we are all different, we wore odd socks! 

We watched a special assembly that had a catchy tune, which some of us just couldn’t resist boogying to!

We had stacks of fun for Children in Need. We all looked fabulous in our outfits, and we made some delicious Pudsey cake pops!

In Literacy, we worked collaboratively to order the main events of our story, ‘The Dark’, by Lemony Snicket.
Then, we worked incredibly hard to retell the story in our own words.

What a great first half term we’ve had! We’ve worked our socks off at school and at home!

Our mini-beast topic homework is absolutely brilliant! Well done to everyone for working so hard, and thank you to your grown-ups for their help!

During Culture Week, Year 2 learned all about Judaism.

We used map skills to locate the countries in the Middle East, wrote information booklets about synagogues, made Star of David stained glass windows, worked collaboratively to create collaged Israel backdrops, and made some delicious Rosh…

This week, we have been doing some fabulous cross-curricular learning.  We have been finding out all about bees, and have worked incredibly hard to create some amazing information booklets. 

We have learned to use graphic organisers to help us with our sentences, and even carried out some…

We had a wonderful time in our wildlife area whilst we were searching for mini-beasts! We used the magnifying pots to take a closer look at the creatures, and created a tally of what we had found.  Then, back in the classroom, we used the data in our tally to create a block graph, and answer some…

What a super first week we have had in Year 2! It has been lovely to see everyone back together again, and I have felt extremely proud of everyone.  We have settled in very well and worked our socks off! Well done, everyone!
