Year 2 - Spring 1 - Week 2

Date: 14th Jan 2026 @ 12:12pm

What a lovely week we have had in year 2.

In Maths, we have continued working on the topic of money. We have discussed different ways to make the same amounts, added coins and notes together and found change. Next week we will be problem solving using money and also starting our new topic of mutiplication and division. 

In English, we have continued working on our Dragon Machine story. This week the children have created a leaflet on how to train a dragon and given advice about what to do if you find one. They have decided where a dragon might live and used adventurous adjectives to describe the setting. They have also designed their own machines based on the story and written about how their invention works.

In Science we have worked on the topic of living things and their habitats. We have discussed habitats and microhabitats and linked this to the microhabitats that we can find in our school grounds. The children then sketched their favourite microhabitat including the insects that they could find there.

In RE, we discussed the qualities that make a good friend. We looked at the story of Jesus blessing the children then looked at pieces of artwork that depict this scene. The children then wrote the qualities that they believe make a good friend.

In PE, we worked on the topic of fitness. We looked at walking, jogging and running and then completed a 3 minute run. Before we completed the run we discussed the best strategy for the run and if we would be running throughout or start to jog first then increase to running. Once we had finished we walked to help us to cool down before we completed stretches to make sure that we had fully cooled down.

We hope you have a lovely weekend,
