Year 2 Curriculum Information
Our Special Letters
Wow! We had some exciting letters arrived by post today! The Duchess of Cambridge has written to us to thank us for our letters and designs for new underpants or knickers for George or Charlotte (we sent them as part of our themed work on the text 'The Queen's Knickers). She wrote an individual letter to each child in the class referencing their design and thanking them for their letter. She even included a photograph of her family for everyone - what a special letter to receive. The children were beside themselves with excitement!
Welcome back to a new school year. The children have settled in nicely and are working hard.
We have solved the mystery of the Queen's missing knickers and we're pleased that our news reports were not leaked to the BBC! Keep a look out for those police helicopters and sparrows children! If you need more of an explanation, you may need to ask your child!
We enjoyed the Fire Service coming into our class to talk about fire safety. It linked perfectly with our topic on The Great Fire of London.
We had an amazing time at Hoghton Tower today! The children listened well and asked some super questions - the people showing us around even offered some of the children a job! We saw the room where King James 1 stayed in and some 'smelly peasants' had to go and pay a penny to touch the king's hand in the hope that they would be healed from their diseases!
We especially enjoyed going down into the dungeons where it was very cold and damp. We even spotted 'Jimmy' sleeping in the corner.
Unfortunately, we were only allowed to take photos in specific places so you will have to ask the children to describe the Great Hall, the well and the state bedrooms. Below are some photographs. A perfect day out!
Hoghton Tower
In our Topic work, we've been learning all about Castles. If you look carefully around the classroom, you will see some very familiar knights!
Don't forget to return your permission slips for our trip to Hoghton Tower on Tuesday 9th October, it should be a great day out.
This is some work from 2017 - 2018:
Class Assembly
Well done to our Year 2's for their amazing class assembly. I think we can all say we thoroughly enjoyed it and are so proud of them!!
Don't forget to watch our powerpoint below!
Fleetwood Museum Trip
Our Seaside Classroom
A reminder that Year 2 are doing their Seaside Assembly tomorrow and we promise it will make you smile! All of our costumes and props are ready and we have had great fun practicing! Once it's over, please feel free to pop into the classroom and take a look at some of the work we have been doing.
Tr-Golf Competition
Well done to the 4 boys and 4 girls that represented our school at the Tri-Golf competition at Heysham Golf club. We had a brilliant afternoon and they had a very good team spirit. We are very proud of you all!
WORLD WEEK
Year 2 had a fun and creative week during world week! Our country was Australia and we chose the book Tiddalik the Frog which is an Australian aboriginal tale to inspire us to do some drama, writing and art work. We were also lucky enough to learn about another country called Brazil and had a go at some traditional samba drumming.
Maths Challenges
We have been doing some math's challenges in the Nature Area and we had lots of fun!
In RE Year 2 had a brilliant time visiting St Luke's Church. Mr Wakelin kindly showed us around the church and allowed us to explore the different features inside and outside. The children had fun completing some challenges which involved finding out how many crosses there are inside and outside of the church and when the church was built. After that, year 2 had a chance to look around the prayer spaces inside of the church. We had a fabulous time!
Our visit to St Luke's Church
With the weather warming up, what better topic to look at than Seasides Past and Present. The children are already excited about going on our class visit to Fleetwood Museum where we will explore Seaside holidays in the past. Please remember to return their permission slips to school as soon as possible.
As part of the topic, we will be making Mr Punch puppets, writing some playscripts to use in our Punch and Judy Puppet Theatre and our classroom will be transformed to look like we are at the seaside! We are hoping to create a class assembly linked to the our Seaside topic so be prepared to put on your summer outfits and come along to learn some more.
