Year 2 - English - To Write Setting Descriptions
Those creative juices have been flowing during Year 2's English lessons this week. We have been dictating and writing setting description sentences, using fantastic adjectives, interesting noun phrases, and verbs in the present tense that bring the scene to life:
Fostering a Sense of Belonging
Creating a strong sense of belonging is essential for children's emotional wellbeing and academic success. This guide explores ten simple and effective strategies, such as encouraging participation, celebrating diversity, and addressing bullying, that help schools build inclusive environments where every child feels valued and connected. We’ve created this free guide offering parents and educators effective solutions to build inclusive, nurturing environments that help children and young people feel a strong sense of belonging.
Year 2 - Music - Exploring Pitch
Year 2's music lesson was exploring pitch by having the children experiment with filling glasses with varying levels of water and then tapping them gently to hear the different sounds produced. Alongside this, they used xylophones to further investigate high and low notes and how the length of the bars affects the pitch.
Year 2 - P.E - Ball Skills
Year 2 are having a blast in PE this week, honing their ball skills! The focus is all on volleying, with lots of fun and active drills to get those hands and eyes working together to keep the ball in the air.
Safety on the Road
Staying safe on our roads isn’t just a skill — it’s a lifelong habit. It is crucial to learn key strategies for helping children navigate streets safely and confidently, from practising journeys together to teaching them how to choose the safest crossing points. We’ve collaborated with THINK! to offer real-world advice on issues like the dangers of parked vehicles, reversing cars and mobile phone distractions — it’s an invaluable tool for parents and educators who want to help young people travel independently without compromising their safety.
Year 2 - Maths - Fractions
The Year 2 classroom was a hive of shape recognition today, with a focus on spotting fractions. Laid out before them were various shapes already divided into different numbers of equal parts. The children eagerly examined each one, their fingers tracing the dividing lines as they determined whether a shaded portion represented a half, a third, or a quarter of the whole.
Year 2 - P.E - Ball and Wall Skills
Year Two's PE lesson was all about conquering the ball and the wall! They practiced throwing and catching the balls. Various throwing techniques were explored. The children then engaged in a lively game incorporating their new kills. It was certainly a lesson filled with smiles and a sense of fun!
Year 2 - Music - Exploring Pitch
Year 2 enjoyed a fun and engaging music lesson all about pitch, using xylophones. The children had great fun exploring high and low pitch, identifying and playing different sounds and creating simple patterns.
Year 2 - Music - Pitch Doodles
Year 2 had a fun and creative music lesson, exploring pitch through "doodles" in an engaging way to visualise and understand sound. There were lots of interesting and varied lines being drawn as they listened to different pitches. What a fantastic way to make music tangible!!
Year 2 - English - Writing a Persuasive Letter
Year 2 certainly had a busy English lesson! The children were engaged in independently writing persuasive letters, and the topic of a zoo visit seems to have sparked some great ideas, all backed up with some great arguments for their target audience. What a fun and practical writing activity!
Year 2 - Computing - Creating Corner Pictures
The Year 2 classroom buzzed with focused energy. On their screens, vibrant shapes began to take form as the children embarked on their computing lesson; creating corner pictures. With careful clicks and drags, triangles nestled into squares and circles peeked out from behind rectangles, bringing their imaginative corner scenes to life with the power of the computer.
