Legoland
Year 2 visited Legoland Discovery and has an absolutely amazing time! We practised building vehicles for our upcoming DT project and raced them down the ramps. We also visited the space area to link with our history and English topics and watched a lego rocket blast off! We had a super time being creative and seeing what we could design.
Wonderdome
Last week Year 2 had a very special visit from the Wonderdome. Inside this huge, inflatable planetarium we learnt all about space explorers, the planets around us and how people live in the International Space Station. It was out of this world!
Christingles
In RE Year 2 have been learning about Christianity and how Christians believe that Jesus is the light of the world. We made Christingles which Christians make at Christmas time.
Geography
In Geography, Year 2 have been looking at our local area. We followed a route on a map and also created our own aerial map of the streets around us. We added in human and physical features that we saw on our walk.
Textiles
During our textiles topic we have been learning to sew and have made these beautiful puppets. Take a look at our amazing work.
Outdoor Elements
MADD week
In the last week of Autumn term we celebrated MADD week. This stands for music, art, dance and drama. We have been learning the song Rockin' around the Christmas Tree to perform in assembly and have made a dance routine for this. We created some calendars based on our previous art work where we studied L. S. Lowry and made some rag wreaths using cut offs from our textile project. We've had an absolute blast!
