Year 2 - Spring 2 - Week 2

Date: 6th Mar 2026 @ 10:41am

What a fantastic week we have had, full of laughter, adventure and sunshine!

This week, we set out on our school trip the Museum of Liverpool. Here, we explored the Little Liverpool exhibition allowing us, through an interactive workshop, to explore the Liverpool Docks and leave facts about Liverpool that even the grown-ups didn’t know! After, we explore a range of old toys from the past and present. We compared what they were made of and how they moved. It was great to see the vast range of toys from the past, from the Victorian era and how they have changed over time. It was truly a fantastic day, and the children, as always, were a credit to themselves.

We also marked World Book Day this week, and although it looked a bit different without the costumes, it didn’t stop us having fun. In Year 2 we celebrated with a ‘Book Café’. We started the morning by completing activities off the menu, ranging from reading a funny story, to creating a new ending and drawing and describing their favourite characters. After, we designed a voucher for the book token competition before doing a bit of book tasting as a class. Who knew poetry books would be such a hit! Of course, throughout the day, we had a range of delicious treats, as it wouldn’t be a café without delicious snacks!

In Maths and English, we have been completing out Maths assessments to help us understand where each child is up to. The children have shown great resilience in their assessments and have persevered even when the questions have been tricky! Next week, we will finish off our assessments before moving onto the next part of length and descriptive sentences.

In PE we continued to show off our super team work skills in both our Dance and Invasion game topics. The children focused this week on the secret garden, balancing and moving to a beat of 8 in dance, whilst playing an enthusiastic dodgeball game in our invasion games. Well done, everyone!

In RE we continued to look at the Easter story, and this week, we focused on the Palm Leaf and its why it is an importance to Christians. We learnt that it is one of the first symbols in Easter and refers to Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem. The children loved discovering the importance before acting out Jesus entry as a class.
