Year 2 Weekly Review
03/07/2025
What a busy and exciting week we have had in Year 2!
In Mathematics, we have begun learning about time. The children enjoyed a practical and creative lesson outdoors where they used chalk to draw large clocks on the playground, helping them to understand how to read and show o’clock and half past times.
In English, we have been having great fun exploring poetry. Our focus has been on writing silly poems about food, and the children have enjoyed using their imaginations and experimenting with rhyme and rhythm.
Our Lion King rehearsals are in full swing, and we have spent lots of time perfecting our singing, acting and dancing. The children are showing great enthusiasm and energy as they prepare for the big performance.
This week we also celebrated a very special milestone – 110 years of our school! We welcomed visitors who were past pupils and spent time exploring art through the decades. The celebrations ended with a lovely tea party, which the children thoroughly enjoyed.
We wish all families a restful and happy long weekend, as school will be closed on Friday for an INSET day.
