This week in PSHE, Year 2 have been talking about our feelings and the tools we can use to manage our feelings to make us feel better. We made our own tools to go in our tool boxes filled with all of the things that make us happy and help us to feel better if we ever feel upset or angry
Year 2 have started their first topic ‘Movers and Shakers’, we have been looking at some of the significant people within our topic and deciding how significant they are using Dawson’s Model. It has been so interesting learning about activists, explorers, artists, scientists and monarchs! 
In History, as part of their Magnificent Monarchs topic, ,Year 2 have been sequencing significant sovereigns in chronological order.
