This week in Year 2 we have loved preparing for Christmas. We explored the travelling nativity, retelling the story and made sure we knew all our lines and the words to the songs for our nativity performance.
In History this half term, we have been learning all about Great Change Makers of the World. This week the children have enjoyed acting in the role of a Victorian child, comparing life in the 1800s to modern times due to the changes brought about by The Earl of Shaftesbury.
This week in Science, we have been learning about keeping healthy and the effect exercise has on the body. The children enjoyed going for a run to feel some of the effects before writing about them.
This week in Year 2, we have had great fun in our computing lessons. We have been carrying out data collection before learning how to create a factfile.
This half term in Year 2 we are exploring the Annunciation of Mary. We have retold the Annunciation in a number of ways and the children have loved creating puppets to act out Mary hearing God's word and her response.
This half term in Year 2, we are exploring Addition and Subtraction in Maths. The children have enjoyed using place value charts to support them to add two 2-digit numbers and we are really growing in confidence!
This half term in Year 2 we are exploring the works of Kandinsky. The children have created some fantastic pieces as we began to explore the use of 2D shapes, primary colours and develop our skills using slow, controlled movements to fill in small spaces.
