Year 2 2023-2024

In Writing this term...

We have been looking at the non-fiction text 'Meerkat Mail' by Emily Gravett. We have been looking at the different settings in the story. In groups we looked at different images and wrote interesting vocabulary for our setting. We then used this to write a setting description about our setting.

In Maths this term...

We have been revisiting addition and subtraction (within 100). We revised our knowledge of how to add two 2-digit numbers.

In Science..

We conducted a scientific enquiry through comparaitive test. We wanted to test 'What do seeds need to grow?'

We have planed seeds in three different conditions and over time we will measure the growth of the plants and record the results. Looking at the conditions and the three different tests we decided test A  could be placed on the window with no water, test B should be placed in the cupboard with no warmth and test c can be placed in the fridge with no warmth. 

This term in Art....

We have been learning techniques to sculpt with clay. We have learnt to decorate cly, create pinch pots and design and make a clay tile with house features.

History - Trip to Westminster Abbey

In history we have been learning about 'What is a Monarch'. We looked at the parts involved in the ceremony of the coronation. We learnt about past monarchy (William the Conquer) and present day monarchy (King Charles III). We got the opportunity to go to the very place where coronations happen and see how it all takes place inside the cathedral. We really enjoyed our trip!
