As we come to the end of a busy Spring Term, there has been lots of great learning to celebrate across the Year 2 classes.

In English, we have looked at the fairy tale ‘Rapunzel’ and an information text about ‘The Big Blue Whale.  The whole school also focused on the book ‘Hermelin’, and this helped us to think about being a detective and finding items for people.

In History, we learnt about significant British monarchs and found out where Richard III’s skeleton was found.

In RE, we have completed learning around the key questions ‘Who is a Muslim and how do they live?’ and ‘What does Easter mean to Christians?’.

In Science, we found out more about Pollution, Mini-beasts and completed some investigations.

Our Design and Technology lessons were all about puppets and how to make them.

We also went to the Barbican in London and listened to the London Symphony Orchestra play music from ‘The Pirates are coming’.

This half term we have learnt about the Great Fire of London and why it spread so fast in such a short amount of time. We enjoyed watching clips about this.

In maths we have done doubling, addition and subtraction. We used resources to show how we work out our answers.

In DT we looked at axis and explored different types of vehicles. Science was exiting because we explored different materials and helped design a trainer. In RE we learnt about the good news that Jesus brings to Christians. d lots of books and particularly enjoyed reading different traditional tales.

We enjoyed out Christmas play and all the deco days during the last week.
