Sports Day 

In Year 2 we had an amazing sports day, we  took part in lots of different races. The races we competed in were running, hurdles, egg and spoon and the sack race. Everyone had a fantastic time! The children who scored the most points won a medal. Congratulations to everyone who took part, the competition scores were really close - you were all brilliant. 

                                                              Gold Medal - Wajdan

                                                              Silver Medal - Archie 

                                                             Bronze Medal - Perry

            

                                                          Litter picking

Year 2 have been taking care of our school grounds, we have been collecting lots of litter from all around our school. We were surprised at the amount that we collected!

                                          Science week

During Science week we thought of lots of questions we would like to know the answers to such as; why does a lion have a mane? What is glass made of? We made our own wonder wall and found out the answers.

We investigated seeds, we did an experiment to find out if the biggest seed would grow into the tallest plant! We planted lots of different fruit seeds after we had eaten it to see if any would grow. We planted seeds from our plums, tomatoes, apples and oranges.

We also learnt about Jane Goodall, who was a primatologist, she lived with chimpanzees in the wild and them saved from deforestation in their natural habitat. 

                                         Taekwondo 

We had a very enjoyable time learning Taekwondo, our instructor taught us how to kick and strike the pads. We learned different types of kicks such as, spin kick and double kicks.  We enjoyed it so much we would like to do it again!

                                                 Tadpoles

Year 2 have been to our school pond and taken some frogspawn. We kept it in a tank in our classroom and watched as it turned into tadpoles, then froglets and eventually frogs! Mrs Nuttall managed to catch one cheeky frog who decided to jump out of the tank to explore our classroom!

                    Egg-cellent Eggs!

We had some very egg-citing news in Year 2, after a long wait, watching them as eggs in our incubator to seeing them hatch... we now have chicks! They each have their own personalities and we have enjoyed observing them as they have grown. We have cuddled them, played with them, and have learnt about the life cycle of a chicken! Our chicks have now gone to a 'forever home' where they can play outside and have a very happy life ❤

                Letters from China 

In Year 2 we have become pen pals with a school in Hong Kong and have made some new friends! We have found out lots of interesting facts about their customs, likes and hobbies. All of our new friends live in skyscrapers, which are very tall buildings and our pen pals have told us that some of their homes have over 100 floors. 

                                        Year 2

                            Wall of fame 

Year 2 are so proud of Diarra, who today got the chance to have hot chocolate and biscuits with Ms Shah for her amazing Literacy work.  Diarra has been working so hard that she is now first person in school to have her amazing poem displayed in Ms Shah's office on the... Wall Of Fame!!                 

                                Eid Celebration Party

Year 2 had a wonderful Eid party. We played party games, danced and had some party food! We all had a fantastic day celebrating!

In Year 2 we had a visit from Simon Hunt, the author of the book 'Delilah Rose the Bogey Princess', We all loved the story and Mr Hunt read the book using lots of funny voices! We had lots of fun and laughed a lot.
