In RE, the class looked at one of St Paul’s letters explaining the Fruits of the Holy Spirit and […]

    The children in Year 2 had yet another busy week, with lots of opportunities to live out their artistic talents. Continuing in our learning of the Great Fire of London, the class compared jobs and housing in 1666 to modern day London. Using various junk modelling materials, they created their own models which now form […]

    The children in Year 2 had yet another busy week despite the bank holiday. In English, the class looked at exclamations, questions and statements and focused on punctuation and word order to differentiate between these before writing their own exclamations using speech marks. Later on, they wrote character descriptions applying their understanding of expanded noun […]

    Although the week has been short and sunny, the children in Year 2 covered a lot. In English, we carried on in our ‘Zahra’ (narrative) learning editing and improving our retelling, before looking at statements and exclamations. We also looked at expanded noun phrases to describe the setting. In Maths, we read scales to measure […]
