Here are Year 2’s Chinese window hangings. We made them as part of our multicultural day.

Year 2 have learnt the poem Rumble in the Jungle by Giles Andreae and David Wojtowycz this week. We performed it to year 3. Here is our video. Please feel free to comment.

Mr Stone 🙂

Today in maths we have been learning all about 3D shapes. We have been learning shape names of a:

• cone
• square-based pyramid
• Triangular-based pyramid
• Triangular prism
• Hexagonal prism
• sphere
• cube
• cuboid

We have also been learning what edges, vertices and faces are. To help us we have made 3D shapes out of nets.

This week, as part of our Africa topic, Year 2 researched and heard a wide variety of African Instruments and music. After we had researched them, we tried to draw them. To make our detailed pencil drawings stand out we went around the outside with a coloured pencil. We hope you enjoy this short video of our work.

Year 2 were discovering what the equator is today. We coloured countries according to average temperatures and found a pattern. Cooler countries were together, and so were the hotter ones. We discussed what this meant and found out that there is a line round the Earth called the equator. We learnt why countries nearer the equator are hotter.

Merry Christmas from all of year 2!

Year two have been blow painting trees and making calendars using the four seasons as inspiration.

Year 2 and 3 joined together to watch the space launch. Tim Peake is the first British astronaut for 20 years! He will be living on the space station for 6 months! Good luck Tim!

In year 2 we are writing letters to say why we would make good astronauts and what we would like to do in space.

Year 2 hard at work writing their Christmas poems

Hi Eliot!

Your book was amazing thanks! We all really enjoyed it. Year 2 have done some book reviews for you to look at. I hope they help you with your new book.

Hope to hear from you soon
Mr Stone
