As part of our science work we have been learning about seed dispersal.  We made spinners and tested them in the nature area.  The children loved it and the spinners worked beautifully!

Have a lovely Easter break.

The beans that we planted are doing very well as you can see!

This week, Year 2 have enjoyed exploring different poems. On Tuesday, they had a go at performing the poem ‘On The Ning Nang Nong’ by Spike Milligan. They really enjoyed it and learned the words in record time! You could ask them to repeat it at home and see if they can still remember it! Here is a video of one of the performances… (I apologise for it being sideways!)

The children really enjoyed performing their poems and some even had actions!  I wonder if the children can tell you what their poem was about?

This week in Year 2, we have been enjoying lots of different types of poems. We all LOVED ‘Chocolate Cake’ by Michael  Rosen and also had fun joining in with performing the Ning Nang Nong. Watch this space for more photos / videos later in the week!

We have had a lovely couple of weeks in Year Two. It is wonderful to see (and hear!) the classrooms full of children again and we have been really impressed with the way in which everyone has settled back and got back on track with the usual routines and expectations.  We enjoyed exploring 3D shape last week and this week have moved onto fractions! In our Science work, we have planting bean seeds and are busy looking after them, making sure that they have sunlight and water. DT has also been great fun! We are looking at making things that move, using a range of levers and pop ups – we hope that you all loved your surprise Mother’s Day cards that the children brought home last weekend. Check out the photograph of the dinosaur moving part pictures! There will be more of these to follow over the next couple of weeks! In our English we have been continuing with the Fire Giant work we began as part of the Remote Home Learning during lockdown. This week we designed – and then described – our own giants. What fun!

Home Learning for Year 2 is now being set on the blog again, set on a Thursday to be handed in the following Thursday. From Thursday 18th March this will also include spellings.
