Year 2 Gallery

Mini First Aid

Year 2 had the award winning Mini First Aid team in to show our children how to deal with emergencies and basic injuries that they might come across.  Amy and Ted showed the children how to shout for help, to call 999 and tell the emergency services our address and how to clean a wound and apply a plaster. We had lots of fun dressing up as nurses, doctors, paramedics, soldiers and injured people. 

History - Tudor House Burning

We made Tudor houses then took them outside so that we could burn them to see just how easy it would have been for the fire to spread in a narrow street at the end of a long, hot summer.  We even managed to pick a windy day to burn our Tudor houses. 

RE - Precious Objects

Our first RE lesson this term was all about precious objects.  We brought a precious object in from home.  We told everyone about our precious object including why it is precious to us.

Christmas RE Day

In year 2, we have been finding out about the annunciation.  We found out how angels are part of the Christmas story and discussed how Mary would have felt when the angel appeared in front of her.

Music - Call and Response

In our music this half term we have been learning about West African call and response songs linked to animals. We used instruments to represent animals, copied rhythms and learned traditional Ghanaian call and response songs. 

PSHE - Tangram

Today we discussed what the word ‘cooperate’ means and what its role is in teamwork.  We explored the importance of working together and cooperating with others and thought about the skills that we need whist doing this.  We then practised these skills when we tried to complete a Tangram puzzle together. 

Fire Hose Investigation

Fire Engines

Children's Mental Health Week

RE - Judaism: Mezuzot

Today we created our own mezuzot (plural of mezuzah). First, we decorated our mezuzah case with pictures, patterns and words of things that are important in our lives.

RE Day - Why Me?

For our Christmas RE day, we found out about the Annunciation.  We thought about how Mary would have felt when the Angel Gabriel appeared in front of her.

DT - Making Spring Rolls

Year 2 have been busy making spring rolls.  During this, we used cutting and mixing skills and also had to work well with our partner.  We enjoyed making them. Most of us had a try of them once they had been cooked although I think we enjoyed making them more than we did eating them!

Remembrance Planting

As a school, we have created a Remembrance Garden in memory of the late Queen Elizabeth II. We have planted lots of spring bulbs and a beautiful Queen Elizabeth rose in her memory.

Science - Habitats - Animal Experience

Year 2 enjoyed meeting and cuddling a real-life Meerkat during the visit from Animal Magic last week. Jabba the meerkat was happy to be passed around the group and even wanted kisses off the children. They also got to hold a giant millipede, giant African snail and stroked an owl during the visit. The children were brilliantly behaved and loved seeing unusual animals like scorpions and chameleons too. This helped all the children learn more about the habitats and adaptations of meerkats and other animals for their science lessons.
