In history, Year Two have been learning about chronology.
We looked at different periods of history and which monarchs reigned during these periods.
We put together our own timeline and worked out which monarchs reigned during that period.
On Wednesday Year 2 put their DT skills to the test when constructing their beach huts.
On Friday, Year Two took their maths outdoors to consolidate their knowledge on direction. We practised moving forwards, backwards, left and right.
As part of our Coastlines topic, this week Year 2 had a special visitor from the RNLI.
He showed us all of the flags which help us to stay safe on the beach and talked to us about the four steps to stay safe on the beach. Year 2 really enjoyed having our special visitor in class.
This week in Year 2 we have been investigating absorbency in Science. We have used vocabulary like water proof, absorbent and saturated.
We thought about our research question and how we could record and measure our results. I was really impressed with the scientists we have in Year 2.
Today, Year 2 looked at maps keys and considered why they are important. We then put our new knowledge of map keys into practise and drew our own key and map to go with it.
This week in RE, Year 2 have been following on from learning the story of Hanukkah to understanding the importance of the menorah to the Jewish people. We found out what a menorah looks like, why it is important and the importance of light in the story of Hanukkah.
This week, Year 2 have been practising their passing and defending skills building towards a netball game. We worked on passing accurately so that catching was made easier and building up evasion and defence skills to regain possession.
This week Year 2 have been learning about sketching and we enjoyed spending some time in the forest school looking at different plants and flowers. We though about size, structure and using careful pencil strokes to create realistic sketches. Well done Year 2.
