Year 2 Termly Letter to Parents

English

Year 2 have been enjoying The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark by Jill Tomlinson, in the book the young owl called Plop meets a boy scout who’s having hot potatoes and cocoa around a camp fire.  We recreated this scene and thought about how Plop felt when he met the boy scouts.

Giddy Kippers

Year 2, visited Giddy Kippers to help design their own playgrounds. We all had a fantastic time.

Fire Safety

We enjoyed a visit from the Fire Brigade who taught us all about fire safety in our homes. We learnt what to do if our clothes caught fire and how to escape our homes if there was ever a fire there. We also learnt how to call 999 and what information we would need to provide.

Geography

In Geography, we have been mapping our local area. We explored our schools’ locality and went for a walk. When we returned to school, we learnt all about keys on a map and used the keys to help us show locations in our local area.

Science

Year 2 have been learning about materials and their properties in Science. We now can explain why materials have been selected for different purposes. Come and ask us all about our learning in Science.

Sock Puppets

Year 2 have been making sock puppets in Design and Technology. We learnt how to thread a needle and complete different stitches.

Victorians

Year 2 had a great time being Victorian school children for the day.

 They had to follow the strict rules of no fidgeting, sitting up straight, no arms on the table and definitely no talking. 

Some children dressed up in Victorian style clothes and all children took part in Victorian lessons, such as the three R's. They wrote on a chalk board and used an abacus for counting.

Year 2 learnt about different punishments, the Dunce hat, finger stocks to stop their fingers fidgeting, a backboard to stop them slouching and the wooden cane. 

They are all relieved that they don't go to school in Victorian times.
