Summer 1
Week 1
We were lucky to have Mr Wilcock and Mr Davies come and visit us to retell the Easter Story. The children listened very well and enjoyed the fuzzy felt puppet show!
In PE we have started our new Athletics topic. Today we learnt how to sprint faster by using long strides, keep our knees high and move our hands from pocket to mouth. Here are the class doing races, relays and a game called "beat the cone!"
The children have thrown themselves into our coding computing topic! They have already been able to program a sprite to move, change size, make noises and move to different backgrounds. Well done all!
In DT, the children have finally completed their designs. Well done all for excellent sewing and cutting of fabrics. The brief was to design a puppet for a 7 year old and I think they all met this very well!
Week 2
The Y2s were an absolute credit to the school on our trip to the Moorland Discovery Centre in the Peak District. We had a wonderful time following maps, making maps, exploring the hills and doing an orienteering course. Well done to all the children and thank you to the staff and volunteers.
The Owl and the Pussy Cat
The children have really enjoyed learning and performing the Owl and the Pussy Cat poem. Currently they are in the process of writing their own poem inspired by this piece of literature with different animals and rhyming words.
Week 3
In Computing we were looking at algorithms and predicting what the outcome would be. We then made codes on Scratch Jr and saw if our predictions were correct.
In PE the children held lots of positions in our yoga lesson. We went on a safari, to a farm and to the Arctic doing positions such as the "elephant", "iceberg", "tree" and "seal". Afterwards, we did a bit of minecraft yoga!
Week 4
In music we have been continuing our recorders lesson with the Sheffield Music Hub. Great use of B,A and G!
In maths we looked at measuring volume and capacity. We did a series of fun activites such as making magic potions, filling a 2 litre container with table spoons and pouring vessels full, half full, three quarters full and a quarter full.
In PE, we learnt how to throw over arm and under arm for different distances. The children did a great job focusing on their stance and follow through. We also revisited jumping from the last lesson!
Week 5
In yoga today we went to the desert! We revisited some of the positions from last week and then practiced and held new positions such as the sand dune, cobra and the camel. Well done all!
In computing we were designing our own quizes where we asked questions about which habitat different creatures lived in. We used code to change backgrounds, move sprites (characters) and insert captions. Great work all!
Five Oceans Song
The Y2s have been doing a great job in their oceans topic. This week we looked at the different hemispheres of the world, different climate zones and different countries which are next to oceans. Here is a great song to remember our 5 outstanding oceans!
Week 6
