Autumn Term 1

In Year 2 we have been really busy and looked at lots of different topics during this half term. In History we have been thinking about Family and looking at Queens from the past and their families too. We created poems, descriptions and completed different art activities in the style of Andy Warhol. Some children for their homework created their own crowns too.  

At the beginning of term we read the book ‘Here We Are’ and thought about why it is important to look after ourselves and our world. We went to Forest School and looked at ways we could look after our environment as well as the bugs within it.

Maths and TT Rockstars

In maths we have been using our bead strings and dienes to add and subtract two digit numbers as well as working hard to learn our x2, x5 and x 10 times tables. We dressed up as rockstars and had great fun using the ipads to practise our multiplication skills using the TT rockstars programme both at home and school. 

European Language Day

We also celebrated European Language Day this half term where we all came dressed in clothes from our different countries and cultures. We took part in fun activities together including learning some words from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in French. It was very exciting to see how we are all different!
