Animal sculptures

We've had a very creative week and used clay to make some fantastic nocturnal animals.  Although it we had a couple of messy lessons, we had plenty of fun.  All there is left to do, is to glaze our sculptures with PVA glue and water and then they will be complete.  We hope that you enjoy the photos. 

Year 2 Sharing Assembly

We had lots of fun sharing our class assembly.  We told everyone what we have learnt from September.  
September: Scotland and Sandridge.  We learnt about physical and human features in Sandridge and on the Isle of Struay.  Children read Katie Morag books and we learnt Scottish folk dancing.  We tried some porridge and traditional Scottish shortbread biscuits. YUMMY!
November: Our topic was about the Great Fire of London.  We sang London's Burning, did lots of role play and learnt about the historical event including dates and important people.  Jake shared his diary extract about the historical event. 
December: We performed our Nativity Play with a twist! Christmas with the Aliens.
January: Year 2 looked at Vehicles as our main topic.  We looked at transport and made some moving vehicles in DT.
February: Another term, another topic!  We looked at minibeasts, a topic that was loved by everyone.  We also learnt about life-cycles and we performed a dance to show the life-cycle of a frog. 
Now we are in the summer term and we still have lots more fantastic things to learn.

Tennis ball skills

Year 2 have been developing their ball skills for tennis.  We have been passing and bouncing a tennis ball in different ways. Here are some photos.   Hopefully, we'll progress to using tennis rackets next week!

  

Fun Run

Year 2 were amazing this morning and raised a lot of money for charity.  All the children made me extremely proud as they kept on running and running and running.  Well done Year 2!
