Year 2 - Spring 1 - Week 5

Date: 4th Feb 2026 @ 1:26pm

In Maths, we have continued with our multiplication and division topic. This week we recapped on odd and even numbers. The children completed an odd number maze and were challenged to create their own. They enjoyed using their knowledge of odd and even numbers to create a difficult maze for their friends. We worked on multiplying and dividing numbers by 10. Next week we will work on multiplying and dividing number by 5. 

In English, we have continued to work on the story Grandad's Camper. One of our tasks this week was to write to a family member explaining why they love coming to their house and the fun things that they can do there. We drew our own maps starting from Formby to their favourite place in the UK and then wrote a set of instructions to explain how to get there. 

In RE, we looked at the miracle of the man lowered from the roof and Jesus healed him. We talked about how the man would have felt and how the friends had helped him. We then thought about all of the miracles that we have looked at so far and answered questions about them.

It was internet safety day on Tuesday so in computing we talked about internet safety with a focus on exploring the safe and responsible use of AI. The children drew their own monsters and then Miss Bayley turned some of them into 3d characters using AI. We realised that it took a long time for AI to create what we had asked for and it didn't always produce exactly what we thought that it would.

In Science and Outdoor Learning, we went outside and put different materials in parts of our year 2 playground to try and entice creatures to them. We then played games linked to habitats and came back to check the types of creatures that were hiding under the materials. We discussed the types of materials that the creatures preferred and the areas that more creatures were found in.

Well done for a lovely week of learning, have a lovely weekend.
