This term, Year 2 has been buzzing with excitement and enthusiasm for learning. The children have thoroughly enjoyed their history lessons, especially exploring the events of the Great Fire of London. They were particularly fascinated by the story of Samuel Pepys, who wrote a diary during the Great Fire of London. In addition to this, the children loved learning and performing a rap about the Great Fire, so much so that Miss Bell was asked to play it after every lesson!

In Science, our budding young scientists have been engaging in a variety of scientific enquiries. They have tested different materials to determine their suitability for various purposes and focused on whether materials were waterproof or not. These hands-on investigations have sparked curiosity and critical thinking as the children explored the properties of everyday objects. 

In Maths, the children have been actively using a wide range of concrete resources to deepen their understanding of place value, as well as to develop their skills in addition and subtraction. Their hands-on learning has really helped reinforce these key concepts, and we look forward to continuing our focus on addition and subtraction next term!

The children have settled into Year 2 beautifully, and I am incredibly proud of all they have achieved so far. I am excited to see the continued progress and discoveries they will make as we move into the next term!

Across summer term in History, Year 2 have been learning about Christopher Columbus and Neil Armstrong. To conclude out Christopher Columbus topic, we made ship artwork using spices. As a hook to learning about Neil Amrstrong we held a 60’s inspired day. Children dressed up, played games from the 60’s, learned some dance moves and created their own 60’s inspired clothes.

In Science this term Year 2 have been learning about plants. They have grown their own sunflowers and sweet peas. We also visited Bosworth Garden Centre where we were able to choose and plant our own flowers to go on display in pots.
