Year 2 Chapter Book List
We have had an excellent first week of home learning. This week has been science week and we have all been very proud of the work we have seen.
We have had a lovely day dressed up as Lords, Ladies, Knights, and Princesses to celebrate our castle day.
This week we celebrated Children In Need by raising money and dressing up in our pjs. We had a lovely day learning about the charity and being creative doing Pudsey Bear themed activities.
This Wednesday we payed our respect to all the people who have helped us in the past to enjoy our world today. We took part in a 2 minutes silence and learnt more about Remembrance day.
What a fantastic Arts Week we have had! It has been Circus themed and we have loved learning about the circus through art, music and PE!
On Wednesday we celebrated the Harvest Festival. A big thank you to everyone who has donated food that we have given to the local food bank. Elephant Class counted all of their donations and we had a massive 42 items! We enjoyed an assembly and singing ‘big red combine harvester’ in the afternoon.
In Literacy we have been reading the book 'Billy and The Dragon'. We have been creating freeze fames related to how characters in the book feel.
Today we pretended to be spies and recreate a castle by only having 10 seconds each to look at it. After this we labelled the castle with its key features.
This week in PE Mr Murray has been teaching us to warm up/stretch and how to control balls when throwing them.
History - we have been thinking about what is a good location to build a castle.
Art - We designed castles out of LEGO and building bricks
Forest School
We had a great afternoon of Forest School. We enjoyed getting creative in the mud kitchen, working together to play parachute games and trying our best to make "Dragon's Breath" using the fire strikers!
