In music they listened to a piece of music in preperation for our Christmas showcase and thought about how the music made them feel, some even drew a picture.

This week we have been taking part in anti bullying week. Lots of the children wore odd socks on Monday to show that it is ok to be different. We have also been looking at different scenarios and how they can make us feel, the children did a super job of role playing different bullying scenarios.
In History we have been looking at objects from the past and sorting out old and new. The children were really lucky and loved the sorting/handling box we have from Weston museum to explore for the week.
All of the children in Year 2 have made huge progress in their reading but Indie Dusky has excelled and has moved up 7 reading levels!!! Well done!
Week 2.
We joined in with the children in need fund raising. The children all looked fantastic in their spots and really enjoyed the duck race!
For rememberence day the children made poppy pins. They followed instructions independently to make their own pin.
Term 2.
The children have settled well back into school and our new classroom.
In English we have started our new story "Wolves". The children have been researching and writing facts about Wolves. They have been finding out the difference between facts and fiction and looking at what other stories we know that have wolves in them. We have looked at zones of relevance and the children had to decide if the word was relevant or irrelevant to wolves.
In maths the children have been working hard on their addition skills. They are continuing to practise number bonds and are begining to understand that numbers must be broken apart to find the bridge across ten.
In Science we started looking at food chains. The children showed great knowledge when sorting and organising different food chains.

This is our final week of term 1. The children had a fantastic last afternoon at forest school, they finished off with hot chocolate!
The children have worked hard in their Maths work, they have been working on number bonds, adding numbers and matching numbers to different representations. All the children have logins to numbots and TT rockstars, they can be found in the front of your child's reading log.
This is our last week looking at Goldilocks and the Three Bears. The children have been completing comprehension questions, inferring the characters feelings and using the computers to listen to Story Nory.

This week the children showed great resilience and independence during our independence day.
The children showed good organisation skills and worked independently to produce a book review. They showed stamina when practising number formation and showed amazing listening skills during Art with Rob Biddulph.
Week 6.
Dressed in yellow to support mental health!!
The children have been very busy in English this week. The children particularly enjoyed making porridge and then writing instructions on how to make porridge. They were very careful to say out loud what they will write and then to re read their sentence after to check. Your children came home with a sachet of porridge to make with you at home. We hope you enjoyed!
In groups, the children created a scene to show how to follow our class charter. The children showed off their brilliant drama skills.

As always, great fun was had up the woods during forest school!
In maths this week we have been practising our number bonds and developing our understanding of partitioning 10s and 1s.
In English this week the children have sequenced the story Goldilocks and the three Bears. The children particularly enjoyed retelling the story and worked hard to write an apology letter to The Three Bears.
Week 4.
This week the children loved their time in the woods at forest school. The children were very sensible walking to the woods and really impressed the adults. They then made flags and went on a bug hunt. We can't wait to go exploring again next week!
We have been looking at the story Goldilocks and using adjectives in our writing to describe the characters. The children worked hard on letter formation and came up with some fabulous describing words.
"Goldilocks is mischievous,"
" Goldilocks had muddy shoes."
"Goldilocks has golden, curly hair."
In maths this week the children have been using their counting skills and representing numbers to 100 by using tens and ones.
Week 3
This week year 2 had their first PE session, we played a couple of different games and learned how to work well in teams. They had so much fun!!
Paper aeroplanes: The children enjoyed testing out their aeroplanes, they followed instructions and made them by themselves
We are currently reading the story Humpty after the fall, we have spoken about the different parts of an egg and how they can be cooked differently. Some of the children had already tried egg before but some hadn't, so we decided to make hard boiled eggs and give the children a chance to make their own egg sandwiches! Yummy!!
