Welcome to Year 2

Mrs Willer

In Year 2, the children have been enjoying writing their own versions of The Dragon Machine. The children enjoyed creating story maps to retell and plan their own versions. They have used prepositions and expanded noun phrases to add detail to their stories.

In Maths, we have been looking at position and direction. The class have been using language such as up, down, forwards, backwards, left and right to describe movement, as well as anticlockwise, clockwise, full turn and half turn to describe turns.

During our Magnificent Monarchs unit, we have continued to look at significant monarchs. The children have enjoyed learning facts about important queens such as Elizabeth II and Queen Victoria. They sorted their actions and impacts, as well as discussing which they thought were the most significant.

In Computing, the class have been creating music by layering different instruments and using drums to make a beat. In D&T, we have been learning about mechanisms. The class looked at several machines that use mechanisms and discussed which parts of the machines move. They have since made pictures using a slider mechanism.

The class really enjoyed Sports Day, and I was impressed by many who cheered on their teammates and showed lots of encouragement!

Over the next couple of weeks, we will be learning:

Literacy: Writing explanations
Maths: Recap of the four operations
ART/D&T: Models of monarchs and digital drawings
