Year 2 2021-22

The children have been practising sewing skills this week in preparation for their puppet making. It was tricky at first, but with perseverance and determination the children were all able to complete  running and over stitching. Fantastic!

The children have been practising their throwing and catching skill this week. They have been learning about a ‘w’ and ‘m’ catch and when to apply them. The children are really looking forward to a game of cricket!

 

The children have been learning about sensors on the ISS and applying this knowledge into their everyday lives. The children took temperature recordings from different places around the school and recorded their findings on an  Excel spread sheet.

In English this week the children have been reading ‘Jack and the Baked Beanstalk’, which is an alternative to ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’. They answered retrieval questions followed by inference questions. Great work everyone!

In computing this week the children have been using a digital drawing programme to create an image of what essential items they would take on a trip to space. Did you know that it costs approximately £7000 to take a bottle of water into space?

The children have worked really hard this week writing a non-chronological report on the critically endangered black rhino. The children researched some facts and used different sub-headings to record this information. Did you know the collective name for a group of rhinos is a ‘crash’?

The children have been looking for 2D shapes in the environment. Well done for spotting so many. How many 2D shapes can you name? What are their properties?

The children used their plan and ideas from last weeks lesson to create their Stop Motion video. Excellent work Year 2. You are all super animators!

The children have been planning their own space animation this week.  They chose a space scene and space objects, then using a story planning sheet, planned their animation. The children are excited to create it next week!
