Welcome to Year 2!
Year 2 is an exciting year which brings lots of new opportunities and challenges. We want to nurture the children to be the best they can be through our varied and fun-filled curriculum. Come and take a look at what we have been getting up to recently...
AUTUMN TERM
We made a brilliant start to the year with some exciting topics to delve in to. Our focus was on History and we learnt all about The Great Fire of London. The children thoroughly enjoyed our trip to the National Emergency Services Museum where they learnt all about how fighting fires has changed since 1666.
Take a look at some photographs from the day...
The children loved getting creative on Lord's Prayer Day. Our class spent time thinking about what forgiveness means and how we can forgive others. We created some lovely forgiveness flowers to display in school.
We went on to take part in lots of lovely Christmas events. We sang at Sheffield Cathedral, took part in a Santa Run, did some Christmas crafting, and finally put on a marvellous Nativity performance!
SPRING TERM
This term we are ready to take on some exciting new topics. We will begin with an Art focus, learning all about David Hockney and creating our own art inspired by his. Some other subjects we will cover include:
Maths- Multiplication and Division
Science- Living Things and their Habitats
RE- Christianity
PE- Gymnastics
PSHE- Dreams and Goals
Reading
Reading is important and we encourage the children to read as often as possible. Every child who reads at home 3 times or more in a week will receive a certificate in Friday's Celebration Assembly.
Please remember to share your comments, photos and recordings on our Learning with Parents app.
