Year 2 Blog

Year 2 had the pleasure of visiting Jodrell Bank as part of our topic work and national space week celebrations. The children demonstarted excellent knowledge of space and the visit allowed their leasrnig to come to life.   The children learned about the importance of the sun and the moon. They explored the site and observed many experiments, this created awe and wonder for our little scientists. Did you know - If you stand on our playground, you can see Jodrell Bank from our school!

Tooday we have celebrating National Poetry day listening and joining in on Michael Rosen’s ‘no breathing in class’ poem. The children found this poem really funny!

Well done to all of the Year 2 children receiving their Head-Teachers, Good to be Green and the Summer reading challenge awards this week. Keep up the good work!

This week, we have started our Mastering Number sessions. The children will be introduced to the rekenrek. This is one of the key representations used in the programme; the children will use it regularly to develop their understanding of numbers within 20 and the relationships between them. Like the other representations used, the rekenreks will also develop the children’s fluency.
