Arts and crafts!

This week year 2 have been getting very creative! In maths we have been learning about fractions. The children had to design a poster showing a whole, half, 1 quarter and 3 quarters of a shape.



On Friday it was the Easter Craft day run by the PTFA. Year 2 made an easter basket and a picture frame.



We also began to prepare our 'lifecycle' boards for when we will be adding the 3D features next week.

Last week we began our topic 'journey of a frog' which involves learning about living things and life processes. We watched some videos about lifecycles and then went on a minibeast safari in the school grounds. We found loads of living things! Woodlice, a centipede, worms, worms, a slug and some eggs on the underside of a leaf.

On Wednesday year 2 had their 'pyjama party' for getting all of their marbles. Well done Year 2!


In Re this week we have been learning about 'special clothes'. We learnt about the special shawl and hat that jewish men wear when they pray.

On Thursday it was 'World Book Day'. We all dressed up as a book character and did some fun activities from the website.

Football crazy!

Welcome back!
Our first week back has been as busy as ever!
On Wednesday we were lucky to have a Bristol Rovers football coach in to teach us some football skills. It was great fun! Well done to Evie for having a fantastic attitude and winning a prize- two tickets to see Rovers play!



We also performed our 'family assembly'. This was an opportunity for year 2 to show their families everything they have learnt during the topic 'Me and my shadow'. We also performed our 'Ugly Bug Ball' dance brilliantly and Miss Morgan was really, really proud of us. Well done year 2!

Here are some pictures of the judo demo we had last week. It was very exciting, they could do some very clever stuff!
This week, on Monday, Debbie Scroggs from Ashton Park came in to show us how to use the equipment safely and sensibly. We were taught the 3 S's and one big rule. Can you remember them?
We had so much fun using the equipment and were very, very sensible.
We also had our (slightly overdue) disco for getting all of our marbles. Here we all are in our party clothes having a good, old boogie!

Happy Holidays!

The Ugly Bug Ball!

This week lucky year 2 were invited to a dance festival at Ashton Park Secondary School!
The theme was 'Animals' so we did 'The ugly bug ball' and we were all different kinds of bugs - dragonflies, crickets, worms and spiders!
The festival was great, there was a range of different styles of dance and children of different ages.
When it came to year 2's turn, all of the practice had paid off and they performed brilliantly. Well done Year 2!

Last week in Science we were thinking about sound and hearing. We looked at Caitlin's model ear and thought about how the ear works. We the wrote an explanation of how we hear with Mrs Shore on Friday. We did really well and remembered a lot of information.

We got out the equipment in gymnastics this week and had a really good session. We were focussing on using the equipment safely and we all made sure we were very sensible.
