What a busy first full week in Year 2!

The children have settled back into the normal timetable this week and have shown a really positive attitude and ready for a challenge.

In maths this week, we have been consolidating and extending our knowledge of Base 10 and have introduced new ways to represent tens and ones, including partitioning within part-whole models and drawing giant diagrams on the tables! We have done lots of practical work to support our learning.

We have began looking at our new story in English and have enjoyed learning about Bog Baby. Bog Baby's habitat was waiting in the classroom for the children on Tuesday morning, and provoked some very imaginative thoughts as to who or what could live there. The children have been consolidating and widening their understanding and use of conjunctions as well as learning new comprehension skills.

We have started looking at the story of creation in RE, and have focused on creating different tones with pastels and chalk in our art lesson. PE has focused on team games, and understanding the need for spacial awareness when moving ourselves in different ways.

Year 2 have earnt their weekend rest, a very hard working week for all.. 

 

Week Ending 5th September 2025

Welcome back to Year 2!  

We are so excited to be back in school again and have spent this week getting to know each other and building on the relationships with friends we have made already, as well as getting to know some new faces! 

This week the children have spent time doing team building activities as a whole year group and in their classes, including: Pictionary, making number and shapes as a team and passing a hoop to each other whilst holding hands without letting go! The children had great fun with this and learnt some new skills in keeping their balance and persevering when they found it tricky! 

The children have also been reminiscing about their favourite day of the holidays and have written all about it thinking about adjectives they could use to describe their amazing time!  

The children also had a fantastic afternoon creating beach scenes in Art linking to our Geography topic this term where we will focus on Coastlines. They used a range of materials to show colour, texture and shape and are very proud of the work they have done. 

We ended the week in our House groups taking part in obstacle races, a quiz and even some building in our house groups. The children enjoyed being outside and worked really well together – it was wonderful to see! 

We hope you all have a restful weekend after a busy week back!
