Year 2 2025-2026 Blog

Children looked at shapes linked to bees, they decided that hexagons would be the best shape to use in their art work.

Different media was used, some children used chalk and others used paint.Maths day with a buzz in Year 2.

It's been an exciting day in school today as we took part in a film for the Department for Education on school attendance. It shows the value of school and shows how it’s more than schoolwork. Being in school can help children build resilience, learn social skills, boost their confidence, and teach them that they can do hard things. In short, this is about the social and emotional benefits of school, which we put at the heart of at Broadbent Fold. Thank you for all staff and parents for taking part. 

Today in Year 2, we had a special visitor—a beekeeper—who came to tell us all about looking after bees. We examined a frame that contained royal jelly, wax, and honey, as well as the beekeeper’s suit. We tasted four different types of honey and tried to guess which one was the beekeeper’s honey.

Year 2 enjoyed being outdoors and exploring nature.

Children saw bird nests, butterflies and bees.

Then we spoke about wellbeing and the importance of being outside.
