Week ending

What we have been learning about

18/9/26 We have had a fantastic week in Year 2! In writing this week, we have been learning to use conjunctions and the children have written their own re-telling of our story Pattan's pumpkin. In PSHE, we have looked at what rights and responsibilities we have and how we can help each other stay happy and safe. In science, we have looked at classifying and identifying seeds and bulbs. In PE, the children have investigated which is their dominant and non- dominant hand and used this to improve their throwing skills. Have a lovely weekend! 
11/9/26 Well done Year 2 for another amazing week! This week, the children have written a setting description for our book Pattan's Pumpkin where they have used adjectives to make expanded noun phrases. In Art, the children have drawn portraits of their partners and have started to learn about Frida Kahlo. The children have really enjoyed taking part in our Book Corner Competition where we have chosen a sweet treats theme. The children have shared their hopes for the year in PSHE. We hope everyone has a lovely weekend and are looking forward to another fantastic week of learning.
4/9/26 It has been lovely getting to know the children this week as we begin our Year 2 journey together. We have spent lots of time getting used to our classroom, learning our daily routines and finding out what life in Year 2 will look like. We have made a start on our class story, Pattan’s Pumpkin, which we will be exploring further over the coming weeks. We have also began our Writing and Maths lessons, with the children settling into their new learning and routines really well. It has been an enjoyable first few days and it has been great to see the children becoming more comfortable and confident as the week has gone on.
