What another brilliant week we've had in Year 2!

  

We began the week with Hello Yellow Day! We created flags with messages of positivity, kindness and hope which were then used to create a ‘Positivity Pathway’. We had a fabulous time walking through the yellow path and reading all the gorgeous messages that everyone left.

 

We had an absolutely fantastic PE lesson. We became masters of dribbling and toe taps! There were definitely some footballers in the making! We also started with a friendly competition of ‘Hats’ and ended with ‘Sharks’. We continued this into our next PE lesson where we practised our strikes and ability to stop the ball.

 

In Music, we continued our song ‘Hands, Feet and Heart’. This week, we became composers and added our own section to the song. We worked in teams or ‘bands’ to create our song and really impressed the Year 2 team.

 

In Maths, we continued our topic of ‘addition and subtraction’ as well as revising our number bonds to 10 and 100. We started the week by looking at ‘adding 2-digit numbers’. Then we began to look at ‘subtracting 2-digit numbers’ and even had a look at column addition and subtraction! We will be continuing this topic next week and how we can add 2-digit numbers across a ten.

 

We loved flying sky-high this week to look at aerial photos of countries from around the world. From this, we had the challenge of identifying physical (natural) and human (man-made) features in pictures of China, Croatia and many more! Next week, we will start looking at creating a key for a map.

 

 We continued to look at more artwork created by Giuseppe Arcimboldo; this week was ‘The Cook’, ‘Earth’, and ‘Water’. We explored all the animals that had been used in it and how it related to their title. We then created our own animal portrait using oil pastels.

 

We ended the week by coming into school in our pyjamas in support of  Alder Hey and the NHS. We loved seeing everyone in their cosy pyjamas and slippers at school! We even put on a Pyjama Runway with everyone getting the opportunity to show off our wonderful pyjamas and moves. We had some judges to score us of of 10 - we had great fun!
