Summer Term in Year 2!

Year 2 have been working very hard in History this term, and have been learning all about the Great Fire of London. We really enjoyed researching what the buildings would have looked like, then working with our partners to create a big display!

We've also had a very special visitor in our class - an alien trying to get back to his home planet! We emailed his family and received lots of replies to our questions about his life in space. Luckily his parents came to collect him in the end, but he really enjoyed his stay.

8 children in Year 2 represented the school at the Healthy School awards presentation. They practiced their skipping routine and performed it really well in front of lots of people. We were all very proud of their hard work!

Murals in KS1

KS1 children are very lucky, not only do they have very elegant new coat hooks and shoe racks but they are also surrounded by a fantastic mural depicting bible stories

Bible stories

On the opposite wall they can have fun finding the rhyming words and phrases, a dog on a log or a wizard with a lizard, although this can take rather a long time to hang their coats up!

What can you see?

Year 2's busy half term!

This half term Year 2 have been really busy keeping fit! We're learning tennis every Monday afternoon, and recently took part in the Gateshead Skipping Festival. We practiced for ages and performed our routine really well. Matthew and Catherine were speed skipping superstars!

We're also keeping our brains active, and visited Waterstone's on World Book Day. We took part in lots of exciting activities to celebrate the 50th birthday of the Cat in the Hat. It was also St David's day so some people were dressed up in Welsh clothes! Peter and his dad made a brilliant Welsh T-shirt.

Year 2 have made some great friends in Year 6. We love going to Year 6 every Tuesday to read with our partners in Miss Hunt's class.

Christmas in Year 2

This half term Year 2 have been learning all about electricity, and how to make a circuit work. We've been extra creative with our Christmas decorations, which come in all shapes and sizes and use bulbs which light up! Very Christmassy! Lots of children have also been creating artistic masterpieces at home, using plasticine. Matthew and Noah made these brilliant models at home. Look out Nick Park!

In Religious this term we have been studying about Babies and initiation. We had a visit from Fr Humble to talk to us about Baptism. We also had a visit from Rosa Jane Pears to find out about the things a baby needs.

Today, during mass Rosa Jane was baptised and lots of children turned up to witness this and share her happy day.

Miss Hawthorne, Year 2

In Year 2 we have already spent a lot of time investigating minibeasts, and set brilliant insect traps so we could look at them closely. Our fantastic art work has made a great Creepy Crawlies display in the hall so the rest of the school can see our good work! We have welcomed four new members of the class this year .... five if you count Brian the Lion! He goes home with a different person every night and tells us his tales thorugh his home/school diary. All the children love trying hard to climb the table-point beanstalk by working hard and helping eachother. It's always fun getting a reward!
