  • Can you retell Jack and the Beanstalk?

    Published 25/02/22

    Year 2 have been excited to start the new Geography topic 'From Dragon's to Dim Sum'.  We will be learning about China and comparing it to England.  This week we have been learning about physical and human features.  In Science we have been looking at what animals and plants need in order to survive and classifying things into living and non-living things.  In DT we have been looking at how we can keep food safe and clean, ready to cook a stir fry next week.

    In English we have been reading Jack and the Beanstalk.  We have been learning to use expanded noun phrases to describe objects and settings.  We have also been learning to use commas in a list.  Next week we will be continuing Jack and the Beanstalk and retelling the story as our Star Write.

    In Maths we have been looking at 2D shapes and how to describe them.  We have learnt to describe their sides, vertices and lines of symmetry.  We then learnt how they can be sorted into different groups based on their properties.

  • How can we stay safe online?

    Published 11/02/22

    This week in Year 2 we have been learning about how to stay safe online.  We discussed what information is safe to share and what information we should keep private.

    In History we looked at the Victorian game 'cup and ball'.  We then made our own versions and had competitions with each other to see who could catch the ball the most times.  In Computing we learnt how to edit photos using cropping, changing the contrast and brightness and rotate them.

    In English we looked at the features of instruction texts.  We then followed instructions, gave instructions and then wrote our own.  In Maths we recapped how to add, subtract, multiply, divide and find fractions of amounts.

    After a very busy term, we hope you all have a relaxing half term.
