Year 2 - Summer 1 - Week 4

Date: 12th May 2023 @ 10:41am

What a busy, hard working week Year 2 have had!

In Maths, we continued our new topic of ‘Time’ where we explored quarter past and quarter to the hour in more detail. We then discussed how when the minute hand goes to a new number, this means five minutes have passed. We even noticed the link between this and our 5-times tables! Even though we found this a bit challenging, with determination and continually practising on our own clocks, we mastered this.

It was a very active week, as this week we continued practising our very own dance to The Little Mermaid’s ‘Under the Sea’. We became aquatic life again as we took on the role of all the creatures you would find under the sea.

In Geography, we explored the beautiful coast of St. Ives in Cornwall. We connected our learning back to the Autumn term where we explored Human and Physical features. We recapped these and then identified the human and physical features of

In Science, we continued to explore the importance of exercise and how it affects our body. We discussed all the different exercises, we as a class, take part in and how it makes us feel. We then went outside to have a run around and after, put our hands on our hearts and described how it felt.

To end the week, we explored the song contest Eurovision. We discussed how the UK are hosting it in Liverpool on behalf of Ukraine. We listened to the UK’s entry and think it’s great! We even designed our very own Eurovision outfit and thought about what song we would sing.

Have another great, song filled weekend Year 2!
