Year 2

On Tuesday we had an AMAZING day finding out what life was like for a Victorian school child.

We learnt about Victorian punishments! Ouch!

Then we read from primers which were Victorian reading books and practised handwriting using a slate and stylus. It got really messy when we…

Our science topic this half term was materials and their uses. We worked in our science groups to help Zog the alien investigate which material would be best for making a raincoat. Our results showed foil and plastic were waterproof materials. But we decided plastic was the most suitable material…

We loved cooking with Mini Chefs this half term. Last week we made deliciodoughnuts. Chef taught us lots of important cooking skills like measuring, beating, cutting and cracking eggs. Also, we made scrumptious chocolate rolls. It was great fun rolling out the party and even better fun…

This half term we are working with mini chefs to make lots of exciting food. So far we have made pizza, meat pie and Victoria sponge cake. Mmmmmm delicious!

We had lots of fun decorating our biscui bears with chocolate buttons, silver balls, glazed cherries, hundred…

This week in science we have been searching around our school for living things, non living things & things that were once alive. We found some mini beasts like worms, snails, dragon flies & wood louse.

We have also been looking carefully at different mini beasts…

Year 2 had a fantastic time at Blackpool Zoo.

We saw some amazing animals like giraffes, lions, tigers, penguins, wolves and lizards! We also held a hissing cockroach and stroked a bearded dragon lizard. 

Last half term we were extremely lucky to have coaches from Manchester United teaching us ball skills. We had an amazing football tournament on the last session! 

In Year 2 we created a human Pictogram to show which game we enjoyed the most in Computing. This half term we have been 'game testers'and have tried to work out the algorithms for some Scutch games. 

Which game was most popular? 

In science we have learning about the importance of exercise in order to keep healthy. We took part in lots of different activities such as star jumps, sit ups, dribbling the ball & skipping for two minutes. Then we discussed in our groups whether the activity strengthened our muscles, gave our…

We visited Tesco in Cheetham Hill as part of our science work on healthy eating. We had a fantastic time and were allowed to enter the back of the shop where usually only staff are allowed. There were lots of fun activities to take part in like making a hat, hunting for different coloured fruit…
