Year 2 – Summer 2 – Week 1

And just like that, we are in the final term of the year, let’s make the next 7 weeks the best they can be!

This week, the children in Year 2 have been completing a series of assessments in Maths and English and we are so proud of the commitment and effort the children have shown and continue to show. Due to being internal assessments, results will not be shared directly but will be indicated in their report towards the end of term.

Next week, in Maths, we will finish of our last topic on Time before moving on to statistics. In English, we will start our new book, a favourite of Miss Jones and a special surprise for the children!

In Music, we began to learn a new song linked to the five oceans. To start, we identified the differences between a chorus and a verse and how chorus’ are repeated throughout songs where as a verse is singular and changes. The children loved singing the song and even came up with some actions for the different verses, check out Twitter for a sneak peek!

In PE, we started our new topic Athletic on Monday, with a special focus on sprinting. We started by identifying the different movements that make up a sprint; high knees, opposite arm to leg movement and large strides. After, we developed these skills by building up to a sprint from a walk, timing our friends with the aim to beat our own score each time!

On Thursday, we had an exceptional morning, with a visit from the wonderful Kate, from Kate’s Krystal’s who will be working with us closely over the next 7 weeks on self-love and self-worth and developing confidence. As well as this, we completed a series of activities in relation to our Young Leaders award. This week, we focused the area ‘Kindness’, identify that all good leaders show kindness and how we should always be kind even when it isn’t seen or recognised by others. 

Rainbow Day on Friday was a hit, the children loved riding the horses, completing the obstacle course and of course the school disco. It was truly an amazing day where each and every child was celebrated for being unique individuals!
