Year 2 have blown me away this term with their enthusiasm and focus in every lesson. We have had such an amazing term and all the children should be very proud of themselves.

In English, our writing was focused around the text, ‘The Tunnel’ by Anthony Browne. We used powerful adjectives, thought about the setting and how to describe it using different techniques. However, the main focus this term was on using correct punctuation and the children have started to proofread and correct their own writing – ready for Year 3.

In Maths we learnt about fractions, time and positional language. It has been a wonderful practical term where we could take the learning outside at Forest School and use manipulatives to consolidate their learning.

In Science we have been exploring eco-friendly materials and the impact on non eco-friendly materials have on our planet and focussed on the three ‘R’s’ –Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.

In Geography we have been exploring what it is like to live by the coast and in particular leaning about the features of the coast.

In Music we have been learning how to play the recorder and the children’s resilience was outstanding as we practiced and practiced until they were able to achieve the notes.

The children particularly enjoyed their DT lessons, where they created a Ferris Wheel and a moving monster puppet.

Well done Year 2 for a fantastic term. I am so proud of you all for your hard work and attitude to your learning. Have an amazing summer.
