Year 2 - Spring 2 - Week 3

Date: 13th Mar 2026 @ 4:32pm

We have had another fantastic week here in Year 2!

This week in English, we have been focusing on writing descriptive paragraphs focusing on using a wide range of adjectives and conjunctions to make our writing more exciting. This week we focused on writing about our heroes. The children chose their own heroes, with many children choosing loved ones. Next week, we will focus on writing in the past progressive tense.

In Maths, we focused on developing our understanding of mass. The children weighed a range of objects, working out how many cubes each item weighed before moving onto comparing objects and working out how different objects make each other balanced. Next week, we will focus on weighing objects on scales and measuring to the nearest kg.

In Outdoor Learning, we learnt how to use flint and steel to make fire. The children worked hard to make a spark, that they all managed to do, before attempting to light cotton wool. The children worked hard to persevere here, and many were successful. Next week, we will have another go at making fire and will make their own hot chocolate.

In Science, we completed an experiment as part of British Science Week with the focus around Curiosity. The children explored whether sunlight effects the growth of cress seeds. The children started by making their own greenhouses, before putting half on the window and half in the cupboard. We will see over the next few weeks which ones grow more.

In History, we looked at the life in the Victorian era, and what her life was like. We looked at how her life changed over time and the differences that occurred in her lifetime.

Well done, Year 2 on another fantastic week!
