Year 2 - Autumn 1 - Week 8

Date: 23rd Oct 2024 @ 8:15am

WOW, what a fantastic half-term we have had. We have enjoyed lots of new learning and had lots of fun! 

Our highlights include:

• This half term the children have particularly enjoyed learning about the Bible in RE. We explored the features of the Bible, such as the Old Testament and New Testament. We were so impressed by the story of Mary Jones and her incredible journey to get a Bible. We were lucky enough to have a visit from Rev Mark and Julie, where they shared a fantastic retelling of the story of the Bible, from the very beginning to the end.
• In our Collective Worship, we have focused on Dignity and Respect, as well as Generosity.
• Maths - We have explored new methods this half term, using a partitioning technique to work out addition and subtraction calculations within 100.
• Science – We enjoyed experimenting why hygiene is important, we investigated why it is so important to wash our hands. We were fascinated by the impact soap has on germs!
• Music – We have loved learning all about folk music and how it was originally created and shared.

Reminders for next half term:

• PE days are going to be on a Monday and Friday.

I hope you all enjoy a lovely break!
