Class of 2020

This week we have been working hard to learn our fabulous story ‘The Way Home For Wolf’ off by heart.  Here we are retelling the story in our own words.

Year 2 been learning about the UK and used their geography skills to locate the UK on a range of maps and globes. We put labels onto the maps to show the four countries of the United Kingdom and the surrounding seas.

Well done, Year 2!

We have been learning all about 2D shapes in maths.  Today we had to use rulers to draw them very carefully.  Here we are practising drawing straight lines on our whiteboards.  It was a lot trickier than it looked but we managed it!

This week we looked at the amazing animals found on the continent of Africa.  After exploring these animals we looked closely at the colour and texture of their skin.  We used careful observation to draw the patterns before using our painting skills to match…

Another example of our very careful drawing and painting today.

We also made finger puppets this afternoon.  Again we had to think carefully about the colours we used.  We also had to cut out our animal templates including two very tricky inner circles for our fingers.

This half term we are learning to be gymnasts.  So far we have practised our jumping skills and here we are learning to travel in different ways.  Can you tell which animal we are?  You may have spotted we are moving sideways!! 

Not quite the real thing but at least we found some British animals in our playground.

We started our new topic off in the playground (in spite of the rain) with a search for some British animals.  We knew lots of them were nocturnal so Mrs Cross may have helped us out and put some pictures out to help us!

More cutting and sticking fun in Y2 today!

We have been investigating instructions in literacy and here we are cutting out and sticking a set into our books.  

Thank you to all the lovely mums who came into class today to help us make these decorations for the big tree in the hall.  We had great fun!
