Good afternoon all,
I hope you all had nice break during half term!
We have been busy this week and kicked things off with a super author event hosted by Read Bookshop Holmfirth featuring the Barry Loser author Jim Smith. Jim joined us via Zoom and entertained us all with his stories and artwork!
Outdoor learning
We read The Scarecrow's Secret and looked at the wonderful Scarecrows that class 6 have made in our woods. We were so inspired that we had a go at making some scarecrows ourselves. It was quite a challenge to make the framework with sticks and knots but we were pleased with how they turned out!
Maths
During maths lessons, we have focussed on 3D shapes and loved creating shape skeletons with marshmallows and sticks and I was impressed by how much information the class could tell me about their creations! How many vertices, edges and faces the shapes had were just a few points of discussion! Well done year two!

Hi all,
Here in Year 2, we have had a lovely final week of this half-term!
Down in outdoor learning, the class enjoyed Mrs. Pearce reading Jim and the Beanstalk to them. They then explored the woodland and created giant cafes serving wild garlic!
The children loved guided reading this week as it linked well with our seaside topic. The book of focus was The Fish Who Could Wish and the class came up with their own wishes at the end. Some of them were very interesting!
Have a gorgeous half term all!
Thanks
Mr. H.

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.
