Year 2 have had a fantastic start to the year. It feels like we have spent more time outside than in! In science, we have hunted for habitats in the school forest and identified things that are living, dead or have never been alive. In Geography, we have followed a map of the school grounds to find some mystery envelopes, used compasses to follow directions and conducted a litter pick field study.

Back inside the classroom, the children have enjoyed their first few recorder sessions. Some children even asked to do some extra practicing during Golden Time! In English, we have fully immersed ourselves in Where the Wild Things Are. We have written sequels for Max’s next adventure, which we thoroughly enjoyed, sharing these with Year 4. We have also written letters persuading Max to return to the Wild Thing Island.

Art and DT have been creative –we have drawn self-portraits in the style of Freida Kahlo and used our knowledge from Science to create a habitat for a creature.

Thank you to everyone who came to watch our Harvest Festival performance. I am sure you will agree the children did a great job!
