Good afternoon,
This week in Year 2 we have been enjoying learning about the Seaside! We have looked at a little place in Cornwall called Mousehole and have loved listening to the story of The Mousehole Cat.
During maths, we have looked at money and addition and practised making the same amount of money using various different coins.
In outdoor learning, the group started a dandelion café and looked at how the seeds travel and self-seed They used tools to look after our wild area and even had a go at planting lettuce, spinach and rocket to grow a guinea pig feast. They also enjoyed the story Christopher Nibbles!

Good afternoon all,
This week we have been writing diaries about what it would have been like to live through the Great Fire of London in 1666!
We have used arrays to multiply in maths as well as reviewing some quiz questions too.
In outdoor learning, we have been digging and using magnifying glasses to collect minibeasts and also loved the minibeast story too.
During science, we made a plan to save poor old Humpty Dumpty from his fall. We are going to use different items to try and protect eggs from a fall.
Please bring in any items the children think may protect an egg on Monday.
Thanks and have a good weekend.
Mr. H.

Good afternoon,
We have had a fun filled week learning about London and the Great Fire in 1666. We performed some poetry by Paul Perro and after, we tried to create our own rhyming Great Fire poems.
In PE, we have been doing Tag Rugby and enjoyed some mini-games of Tag Rugby.
It has been a warm spring so far and we have been playing outside on the grass, which has been really enjoyable.
In maths, we have been practising multiplication using twos, fives and tens and also a little bit of time work too.
We have been in the forest using sticks, stones, grass and seed casings. With those materials we have made pictures to match the storybook called 'The Weathermonster'. We were collecting minibeasts to put in our containers to observe how they move. No minibeasts were harmed!
During our art lesson, we have been making Great Fire of London pictures with different equipment and sketching too.
We have been melting chocolate in hot water for science to find out if it changes shape, colour or state. The chocolate melted and changed colour and later, we placed it outside to see if it cooled and changed back to a solid piece of chocolate.
We are also enjoying listening to the story of Brave based on the Disney film.
Thank you everybody, have a good afternoon.

Good afternoon everyone,
We have had a lovely week here in class two, yet again!
We have continued learning about the Great Fire of London and in English we tried writing newspaper articles about the event. In maths, we have focussed on time, looking at months, days, hours, minutes and seconds.
In history, we explored the reasons behind why the fire spread in London and why it took so long to put out. It has been British science week this week, so in science we have used the theme of 'Growth' to create beautiful posters that we are going to enter into BSW poster competition. The class had a go at playing Ode to Joy on the glockenspiel this week during music.. We are learning all about orchestras and the different instruments involved.
During PE this week we have had a go at dribbling skills in football and teamwork activities in tag rugby.
All in all a great week - and year two won star table so I'll be enjoying my lunch with the class next Friday!
Have a nice weekend everyone!
Thanks
Mr. H.

Good afternoon,
We have had a very exciting week in year two! The class have loved getting stuck into more Great Fire of London learning and are impressing me with how much they can remember. Also, the class have shown what brilliant mathematicians they are by solving some hard subtraction problems. I have loved seeing the children in PE this week. They have showcased some brilliant skills in both football and tag rugby. What stars you are!
We loved dressing in pink for Eden this week and we are very proud of the money raised to support such a special and local cause.
