Since completing our Key Stage 1 assessments, Year 2 have enjoyed a range of fun activities to extend our learning.
 
In our Foundation Subjects we have been discovering more about food.  We have tried food from other counties countries, made some rocky road and begun finding out about the process of growing, making and producing food.

In Maths, we enjoyed measuring different liquids to make our own potions.  Many of our concoctions smelt disgusting however we had a wonderful time with our friends from Year 6 helping us to accurately measure using ml and litres. 

​In Computing, we have utilised spreadsheets to organise and sort data.  We have planned our end of year party early this year and priced everything we wanted.  Some of us had rather expensive aspirations, the most expensive party was something close to £1,500.  We may need to think this through some more!

In 2MH this week we have continued looking and learning about food. In DT we made Rocky Road biscuits in groups with our teacher. We had to follow a recipe and take it in turns to follow each instruction carefully. We also learnt about food hygiene and where different foods come from around the world.  In English we have been writing instructions on how to create a medicine just like in George’s Marvellous Medicine. We had to use imperative verbs to tell people exactly what to do. In Maths we have been working outside and solving lots of problems.  ​

​Following previous year groups excitement surrounding investigating a teacher’s missing packet of biscuits and last year’s faux police incident, we know that Year 2 children are up for a challenge…especially around SATs season.
 
Have you been wondering why the school building work seems to dragging on for a while?  This half term Year 2 will be analysing videos, photos and spreadsheets to discern what is going on.  The children will be reading and responding to messages on the Google Classrooms platform as part of their learning.
 
Although e-safety is a frequent theme covered within Computing lessons, the experience of instant messaging within a safe virtual classroom enables learning opportunities about aspects such as appropriate use of devices, comments making and content in a way pupils have found very applicable.
 
If you have any questions regarding this half term’s Computing, how this relates to the broader Computing curriculum or online safety, please speak with your child’s class teacher.
 
We hope that you enjoy the video!

In Year 2 this half term we are learning all about alternative fairy tales and we have been really enjoying ourselves so far! ​


​​In English we have been reading ‘Trust me, Jack’s beanstalk stinks!’ We have been writing letters to the fairy tale police from the perspective of the giant explaining all the terrible crimes that Jack has done and asking for our things back. We have had some brilliant ideas and have included a lot of persuasive language, hoping for a reply soon! 
n Maths we have been working hard on a few different skills such as addition, subtraction, division and fractions. We have even had a look at using the column method for the first time!


In computing we have been using the Computing Suite and going on to google classrooms to solve the mystery of the secret room which has been built in the school. We got to watch an amazing video which we enjoyed so much we have watched it more than once!
If you would like to watch it again the link is:

​


We have even started planning for our own hand puppets which will be based on evil, good or magical characters. When they are finished we are going to create our very own puppet shows. The plans look great, we are excited to see what they look like! Can you guess which one is which?

Up, up and Away in Year 2!

Last term, Year 2 started their topic about space and began learning about the solar system that we live in. In English we were learning how to effectively describe characters and settings in a story. This was in preparation for writing our own stories about space.

​In Maths we have been learning to divide by 2, 5 10 and 3. We have looked at both dividing numbers and shapes and sharing them into equal parts. We have looked at what the term equal means and how it is applied to both numbers and shapes in Maths. In our afternoon lessons we have been learning about our solar systems and the planets within it.

To the Moon and Back in Year 2!

20/3/2019

Year 2 have been continuing their work on fractions this week. We have been busy solving word problems and looking at reasoning tasks. We are all now confident in finding ½ ¼ ¾ 1/3 2/3 of shapes, numbers and quantities. To find these, we have been looking at dividing by the denominator and counting the parts stated by the numerator. We have also started learning our 4 times table in class and have used the Bee Knees Dance Party track on youtube (link below). 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJ0T9YScLeM 

In Year 2 we work in English groups rather than our usual classes. This enables us to work on specific skills and our teachers can target particular needs. This week we have written newspaper reports as part of our unit of work on space. We watched the moon landing from 1969 and pretended to be reporters of that time. Some of our newspaper reports will be available to view on the Year 2 website page very soon. ​

In our foundation lessons we have continued to learn about space. The missions we have received allow us to research and train to be mini astronauts following a similar programme run by NASA. We have also developed our historical skills and learnt about significant events and people in history. We will continue with this unit until the end of the spring term, and look forward to sharing our learning at the next project evening.

Some Year 2 and Year 6 Highlights from Last Term

19/2/2019

0 Comments

 
In Year 2 we continued to consolidate our learning about multiplication. We solved multiplication problems that included the 2, 5, 10 and 3 times tables. We even took part in an investigation regarding the number of spots on different ladybirds. It was a lot of fun! In English we wrote diary entries in character as Zog from the book by Juila Donaldson. We applied what we knew about how to write in first person and the past tense. 

Half term two was a very busy half term for Year 6; we had a fantastic few weeks. Pupils conducted their own remembrance service, with many reading the names of those from the surrounding areas who had fallen during conflicts. Following the service, the public were invited back for tea and biscuits and enjoyed performances from each Year 6 class. In English, we created our own warning narratives using a variety of figurative devices; the children were experimental with their characters and their storylines.  
We also had a very interesting time in science, learning about light and reflection. Children had the opportunity to work in pairs to create their own periscopes using household materials, which they enjoyed immensely.  

Of course, this great learning and attitude continued into half term three - well done Years 2 and 6!

The Great Fire of London, in Year 2

11/2/2019

0 Comments

 
This term in year 2 we have been learning all about The Great Fire of London. We have enjoyed finding out about how the fire started and many interesting facts through researching along the way.  
This week in English we have been writing diary entries, we started off by writing a diary all about our own life. Once we were confident with the features, we used drama to learn more about Samuel Peyps’ diary and how everyone would have felt at the time. We then transported ourselves back in time to 1666 and took on the role of a character to write our diaries.  
In Maths this week we have been learning all about 2D and 3D shapes. We have been trying our best to identify the features and have even started to compare these. We have got very good at guessing the shape when given its key features. 
In the afternoons this week we have been working in small groups to create our own Tudor houses. Firstly we planned and designed our houses using inspiration from houses of the time to think of our own unique designs. We had to use our problem solving skills to work out how to connect the different pieces before gluing it together and painting it white. We will be adding to our houses to add detail before an exciting ending for our buildings at the end of the term. ​

An Update from 2JP Pupils

11/2/2019

Leading up to the new year, Year 2 were linking their learning to dragons.  This provided a fantastic opportunity for the children to use their imaginations, particularly when writing.
Picture
,One week we read the story of Zog by Julia Donaldson.  We used role play and story mapping.  Next we learnt about the features of a diary entry.  After that we wrote a diary in the character of Zog, describing his first day of dragon school.
 
Later in Geography, we designed our own habitats, this linked without learning in Science from the half term.  After identifying the different features of our habitats, we explained what made our creations suitable for a dragon to thrive.
Picture
We have also been using the new ICT suite to develop our learning of block coding.  We have progressed from understanding the basics of algorithms, linking these to giving instructions.  Following a number of weeks getting to grips with ScratchJr on the iPads, we are now using the full version online at sratch.mit.edu.

Another Successful Project Evening

11/12/2018

0 Comments

 
Thank you to all those parents and carers who were able to attend last week's project evening, where children were able to display and share their various homework projects from this half term. 

As always, we really value your feedback, which again has been overwhelmingly positive. Have a look at some of the work shared by Mason (Y6), Emelia (Y3), Billie (Y2), Sutijay (Y2), Paige (Y2) and Aaliyah and her big sister (Y2).
Please also remember that while these half-termly homework projects will continue, pupils still have opportunity to practise and consolidate their basic skills through their personal logins to Mathletics, Active Learn and other online tools that the school has subscribed to. Challenge within these programs can be managed and adjusted by class teachers, so do speak to your child's class teacher if you have any further feedback or requests regarding the level of challenge in these activities.
