KS1 Christmas Card Art
Children have developed plenty of new art skills during this year’s Christmas card-making endeavour! Learning continues right up to the very last day of term!
Science
Year 2 have been planting cress to help them understand what a plant needs to grow healthily.
Micro-habitats
Year 2 have had great fun exploring micro-habitats in the school garden. We found lots of mini-beasts including worms, spiders and woodlice.
Our Year 2 children have started their new Geography topic and are learning all about China this half term. During their first lesson the children had the opportunity to label China on a world map. We then worked as a team to discuss China's major cities and rivers. The children were so engaged and learnt lots of facts!
In Year 2 we have started our new English text, 'The Lighthouse Keepers Lunch'. The children worked extremely hard over the holidays to build their own lighthouses. We are so impressed by their creative skills!
Dread Cat
During this half term, the children in Year 2 have been working exceptionally hard on their writing. Their fiction text in English has been Dread Cat. Using their Talk 4 Writing skills, the children were able to independently write the story.
