Year 2 - Spring 2 - Week 6
Date: 31st Mar 2023 @ 11:50am
The Easter break has arrived!
On Thursday, we led the Easter Service with the Year 1’s at St Peter's Church where we were delivered several readings and prayers about ‘Hands at Easter’. We sang with all our hearts, several hymns and songs - which we have been practising each week during Sing and Praise - including ‘He Lives in You’ from The Lion King.
In Maths, we finished off our topic on Mass, Capacity and Temperature. Next term, we will start by looking at fractions, focusing on halves, quarters and thirds. After, we will explore time as well!
It was time to take on our DT project, designing our very own car! First, we explored the post importance features of a car such as the engine, wheels and a steering wheel. We then designed our car with our partner, discussing how we wanted it to look. Once this was finished, we were ready to take on the building part! After we had created our fantastic cars, we were challenged to a race. Despite a few car crashes, all cars made it past the finish line!
In RE we explored Easter food and how they symolise Easter. We tried some Simnel cake which has 11 'eggs' on top which represent the 11 disciples (excluding Judas and Jesus) and then we had some hot cross buns which has a cross that is symbolic for Jesus' crucifixion.
We finished off the week with a egg-tremely exciting Easter egg hunt! It was really fun and tasty as well! We also had a surprise visit from the Easter Bunny himself, who brought chocolate along with his crazy dance moves. We hip-hopped around the classroom with him which certainly brought on the Easter spirt.
What an amazing term we have had, Year 2. Have an absolutely incredible Easter with your friends and family. We look forward to seeing you back on Monday 17th April.
