An Island Home

Year 2 are learning all about islands in the

This topic builds on our seaside work from last half term.

Summer 2012

Only a few weeks left before the summer holidays but still lots to do!
Our topic this half term is an island home where we will be using the Katie Morag books as core texts for our learning.
We will be making our own beach outside the classroom including a boat and a light house.
In science we will be investigating plants and animals. We will be looking at different habitats and how all animals grow and change.
Non-chronological reports are a focus for literacy sessions where we will writing all about animals we might find in different locations.
We all hope the children enjoy the last few weeks of the year and work just as hard as they have so far.

Mrs. Marriott kindly came in to school to help year 2 with their gardening project. The children separated the plants and even found some potatoes that we will cook and eat in a few days.

A huge thank you to Mrs. Marriott for all her time and help. 

Year 2 have been learning all about seaside holidays in the past and comparing them to holidays we have now.

The end of another term

The children in year 2 shared their love of books with year 5 on Friday reading with a partner and talking about the stories and texts they were reading. As this has proved to be so successful we will be doing this regularly every last Friday in the month.

 The children have now completed their science topic learning all about electricity and making thier own simple circuits.

 Year 2 have also been writing stories using their non negotiables to help them.

These are paragraphs, finger spaces, full stops, capital letters, adjectives and connectives.

We have also learned how to use each of our senses to describe a setting or character more fully and to use similes to add more detail.

Don't forget to come and hear the children sing tomorrow morning at about ten past nine.

Happy Easter.
