Year 2 have had amazing Autumn and Spring terms, and I am so impressed with how far they have come, academically and socially. They have had a great time with their learning, and I hope this continues in the summer. 

Our Night Walk in March was a great success, with the children all having such a great time! They toasted marshmallows and made smores with Mrs Martin, made beautiful nature crowns out of natural objects found in forest school with Mrs Healy, and participated in team-building games with me. They loved their hot chocolate treat before the actual night walk, with the path they walked lit up by glow sticks! We also had some year 6 helpers! It was a massive success, and I am so glad the children enjoyed themselves!

In English, we have looked at poetry, specifically The Owl and the Pussy-cat. Though this was a challenge for some of the children, they worked so hard to find rhyming words to use, and it was great to see their resilience!

In Design and Technology, year 2 made their final dips! They made either a salsa dip or a cucumber dip, cutting all the ingredients themselves, mixing and making based on their own instructions. They then taste tested their dips to make sure they were perfect, and they were very impressed with their cooking skills!

In Art, we will be looking at flower drawing, looking in detail at flowers and their properties. The children have already started looking at this, and have enjoyed taking time to look at flowers properly and draw the smaller details that might be missed. 

This is an exciting term coming up and hopefully, with the nice weather, we can look at having more lessons outside, especially art, geography and history!

The topic web and family learning is attached below, so if you want to look in more detail at anything in particular, please feel free! As always, any questions please let me know.
