Year 2 have been dreaming of summery weather with their new Geography topic about Mombasa in Kenya. In English they have been learning about the meanings in Tinga Tinga Tales from Africa and learning a bit of Swahili along the way. In science they have enjoyed dissecting kidney beans to find the seed coat, embryo and food store.

Year 2 worked really hard over the Easter holidays, making Easter gardens to show the true meaning of Easter.

We are really proud of all our Year 2 children for their fabulous fund raising efforts.

Year 2 raised £657.30 by walking along Hayling Beach for the Sea Life Trust.
Welldone!

This half term Giraffe class are having lots of fun learning how to play the ukulele.

Another busy and fruitful week in Y2. Our Y2 Autumn Watchers have been gathering Autumn leaves, acorns and conkers. In the classrooms children have been mastering their use of coordinating conjunctions and adding multiples of 10 on number lines. Can you believe that their English and Maths books are over halfway full?

Watch out, there are some monstrous highway rats on the loose!

Some are grizzly and evil, others have sharp, scary claws and horrible, wicked swords. They all have disgusting manners and you will smell them coming because of their slimy, green teeth!

As you can tell Y2 have mastered using expanded noun phrases in their writing.

It has been so lovely to welcome the children into Y2 looking so smart and grown up. It has been a fantastic week despite the rain. The children have really enjoyed reading and acting out ‘The HighWay Rat’ by Julia Donaldson. They have been doing lots of counting to and from 100 and had great fun in PE.

Another week of sports and fun for Y2 which has included, measuring capacity, reconstructing recipes and learning to play tennis.
