Year 2 celebrated their achievements in assembly this morning Well Done
On Thursday 20th June, we had a ‘Fun Day’ for all children, to continue the celebration of our ‘Outstanding’ Ofsted result earlier in the year. We had lots of surprise activities throughout the day! These included Dinos Teach Rex, Dino Puppets, Magic Bubbles, Bouncy Castles & Slides and lots of other creative activities in class!
Year 2 had a fantastic experience at Staircase House in Stockport! In the morning, we learnt all about the Great Fire of London, where the children took on roles and dressed up as historical characters. In the afternoon, we delved into the world of 17th century firearms and the children were able to design their own! We also learnt about historical construction techniques and created our own wattle and daub panel.
In PSHE, we recognised that secrets can be both good and bad. Good secrets might be a nice surprise and something that would make a person happy. They are usually only kept for a short time. Bad secrets are about something that should not be happening. They make you feel sad, hurt or worried. We shared lots of scenario secrets and each individual decided if it was a good secret or a bad secret. We all agreed that we should speak to someone we trust about any secrets bothering us.
We are studying the artist Helaina Sharpley. We are going to create a 3D flower in her style. First we sketched a basic flower to use as a template. Then we practised twisting, turning and pinching the pipe cleaners together to create the petals. Take a look at us in action…
This week, Mr Deane recognised these children's amazing handwriting by giving them golden pencils. It was a special assembly to celebrate their hard work and talent. Keep up the fantastic handwriting!
P.E
In PE, we have been practising throwing and catching and learning lots of new ball skills. To end the half term, Year 2R enjoyed a fun game of benchball!
Children had the opportunity to enter a poetry competition. They were asked to create a short paragraph about a Super Pet. All entries were sent off and this week they announced the winners!

This week is 'Friendship Week'. Year 2R discussed why it is important to have friends, be a good friend and the qualities of the friends we each have. We sang a friendship song and created friendship clouds. In pairs, we recognised six good qualities of our friend and shared them. Year 2R always have good friends in one another!
On Thursday 5th October it was National Poetry day. The school arranged for a local poet, Elayne Ogbeta, to come in and read some of her poetry to the children. Many of Elayne's poems are written in Jamaican patois and Year 2 thoroughly enjoyed listening to each one!
Reading
Year 2R...
Year 2 love to read! We visit the library every Thursday and choose a new story to take home.
We enjoyed our first visit to the school library. Our author is Roald Dahl and we have loved reading 'The Twits' in class! Year 2 can't wait for our weekly visits, so we can loan more books to take home.
Religion
Year 2R
Year 2R turned off the lights, closed their eyes and imagined looking at the night sky. They thought about their feelings and how we are always close to God.
We praise you Lord for all the wonderful things that you have created for us!

PSHE
We recognised that we all make mistakes but it is important that we learn from them! It is important that we apologise and say sorry. We also recognised that it is equally important to forgive others for their actions. We thought about something that we are sorry for and read them out to one another. As a symbol of saying sorry, we scrunched up the piece of paper and put them in the bin. We put our sorry behind us and started fresh to move forward.
Year 2R have been learning about online safety! Take Buddy the dogs advice to stay safe online!
