Good afternoon everyone,
It has been another very busy week in Year 2! We went on our school trip to the RNLI lifeboat station and the beach and it is safe to say that we had an absolute ball! The children were so well behaved, polite and listened so well and it was an absolute pleasure to take them. We are all so proud of them!
This Week…
In English we have been practising our story telling using our story maps of Chatterbox Ben. We have also been focusing on making inferences about feelings and situations using clues in the text. The children discussed and began to plan their own story set in a school.
In Maths, we have been looking at 3D shapes. We identified edges and faces and learned ways to help us remember this information.
In RE, we learned about Peter and his responsibilities in leading the early Christian church. We learned about why he was chosen and how he showed his bravery and courage.
In Science, we have been product designer. We were given a description of a product and had to choose the best materials for that job, explaining the exact properties which would make it suitable.
In Geography, we looked at some physical features we might find in Australia and created our own maps to show their locations, complete with keys.
In PE, we continued our learning on athletics, focusing upon running, hurdling and relay races.
Homework
There is no spelling or times table homework this week as we only have one and half weeks of school left.
English - write a letter to a friend to tell them about your favourite book. What is it about? Why do you like it? Who else would like? What is your favourite part? Who is your favourite character?
Maths - describe the properties of the 3D shapes.

Writing Award - Matilda - for working hard on her presentation in her written work.
Maths Award - Roma - for her super reasoning about 3D shapes.
Our Trip
We had a wonderful time on our trip and all of the adults were blown away by the behaviour of the children. They were respectful, kind and polite. Several members of the public told us just how amazed they were with the behaviour of such young children!
Thank you all for your donations towards the RNLI. We raised over £40, which is amazing! Thank you so much for your kindness.
