This week in Year 2, we have been reading ‘The Day the Crayons Quit’ by Oliver Jeffers.

Year 2 have been thinking about imperative verbs and using them in command sentences. We received a letter from a very angry Blue Crayon who was just too tired and wanted to be put back in the box. We have been writing our own command sentences pretending we are a very unhappy crayon and demanding change!

We hope that none of the other items in out class are angry!

This week in year 2 we have been learning all about shapes! We have been learning lots of facts about 2D shapes. The children have discussed similarities and differences and we have been spotting them in our outdoor environment and in our classrooms. We know that a pizza slice is like a triangle because it has 3 corners and 3 sides! Next week we will be searching for 3D shapes.

Year 2, it has been an absolute pleasure being your teachers this year! We don’t think we’ve ever worked with such a hard working and enthusiastic class! Thank you so much for your dedication to learning throughout the year.

Have a fantastic summer holiday and we look forward to seeing you all next year!

Year 2 have been busy getting ready for the carnival parade on Friday 15th July. We have made some masks to wear. We designed our own mask then assembled different materials to create a mask. They look brilliant! Well done Year 2! I cant wait to see you all wearing your masks at the carnival!

This week we have been learning to write riddles. We have read lots of different riddles and discussed the key features. We have learnt how to write similes. Today, in Big Write, we wrote our own riddles based on our chosen animal! They were fantastic! Well done year 2!

Year 2 have created some fantastic images of castles. First they drew an outline of a castle. Then they sponged on the brickwork pattern. Next they cut out pieces of paper for the windows and doors. Well done year 2!

This week in maths, we have been learning about measuring. We have been measuring in practical situations. We really enjoyed predicting if children were taller or shorter than a metre. We learnt how to read scales in divisions of ones, twos, fives and tens on the scale. Some children were even able to read a scale where not all numbers are given! Well done year 2!

Year 2 got the opportunity to play a range of different instruments such as drums, tambourines and shakers. They learnt a song called ‘I love fish and chips!’ The children thoroughly enjoyed the workshop and are looking forward to learning more songs in the classroom!
