Year Two have had a thoroughly enjoyable end to the year! We were disappointed not to be able to go to Weymouth on the train, but we think the children had just as much fun when we brought the beach to The Grove!

This term, out topic has been all about Antarctica. The children have read books with polar settings and they have written stories about an Antarctic discovery. They have used some wonderful adjectives to describe the settings.

In History, we have learnt about the different Antarctic expeditions from the 1700s to the present day. The children found it interesting to see how the equipment has changed over time!

RE has been all about the Muslim pilgrimage of Hajj. The children enjoyed re-enacting the seven stages on the playground to help them to understand the importance of each part.

In Maths, we have explored position and direction as well as recapping our 2, 5 and 10 times tables ahead of moving into Year 3. We hope you keep up with Times Table Rock Stars over the summer holidays!

I am sure you will agree that the children’s clay penguins were adorable. They worked hard to sculpt the correct shape. The handstitched scarves really added to the cuteness!!

We wish all of the children a fantastic transition into Key Stage Two!
