This week we have been learning about poetry. We have been reading a range of classic and contemporary poems. We chose our favourite poem and performed it to the rest of the class. Some children decided to perform ‘Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater’ If you see us, ask us what our favourite poem is! On Friday we wrote our own poems about what makes us feel happy.

Let’s go fly a kite!
We have had a very busy week in Year 2 learning all about how to make a kite!
We have been investigating what properties a really good kite needs to have to help it fly. We thought it needed to be light so that it could fly easily, strong so that it didn’t break on a windy day and flexible so that it could move beautifully in the wind. Then we thought about what materials we could use that included these properties. We decided that we would make the sail out of paper, the line out of string and the spars out of lolly pop sticks. The tail could be made out of wool and the handle could be made out of strong wood.
Let’s hope we have some windy days to test out our kite!
Roald Dahl Week.
This week in Year 2, we have been exploring the story of The Enormous Crocodile by Roald Dahl. We found out he was a mean crocodile who liked to eat children!
We have created lots of wonderful art based on the characters in the story. We have made our own Enormous Crocodile to sit in our reading corner along with his ‘notsobig’ crocodile friends. We have also written our own Revolting Recipe ‘Vomit Vegetables’ to feed to the crocodile so he doesn’t eat the juicy children.
We have had lots of fun learning all about the characters in Roald Dahl’s stories and dressing up as them on our Roald Dahl Day!
Welcome to Year 2!
It’s been a great start to the new school year! The children have come back to school enthusiastic and ready to learn. A big thank you to the parents for reminding your children to bring their book bags to school everyday, it’s great to hear that so many of you are reading your books everyday. A quick reminder that in Year 2, we have P.E on Tuesday and Wednesday so make sure you have your P.E kit in school on these days.
This week in our topic lessons, we have started to learn all about the Great Fire of London in 1666. The children have found out all about how the fire started in a small bakery shop and soon spread all through the streets of London. We have made some fantastic art work using lots of different and unusual materials to show the flaming fires in the streets.
