​Year 2 had an amazing time at their Christmas party today! The children laughed and cheered through exciting party games like musical statues and pass the parcel. The dance floor was buzzing with energy as they showed off their best moves to festive tunes. It was a day full of joy, laughter, and holiday cheer—a perfect way to celebrate the season! 🎄✨

​Year 2 have had some very egg-citing guests in their classrooms for the last week. Last Monday, some duck eggs were delivered to school for the children to observe as part of their Science learning. By Wednesday, the eggs had hatched and there were eight fluffy ducklings sat in the incubators ready and waiting for some cuddles. The children thoroughly enjoyed caring for the ducklings and even got to help them swim for the first time. Take a look at some photographs below. 

Year 2 had an amazing day celebrating World Book Day 2024. The children arrived dressed as characters from their favourite books and enjoyed showing their costumes in assembly. The children enjoyed reading the book 'Look Up!' by  Nathan Bryon and completed a draw-a-long session with the illustrator, Dapo Adeola. They sketched the character 'Luna' from the story. They looked incredible! Year 2 also learnt about the famous female astronaut, Mae Jemison. The children considered what they would take with them if they travelled to space. Take a look at some of the fantastic costumes and work produced on the day. 

Well done to all of the Y2 children that have worked hard this term to complete lots of stages on Numbots and achieve a certificate. Keep up the amazing work!

Before the half term break, Year 2 enjoyed writing their own set of instructions about how to create a Jack-O-Lantern. They started by identifying imperative verbs before applying these into sentences. The children then had first-hand experience of carving a pumpkin. Take a look at some photos from the week.

​How spooktacular their Jack-O-Lanterns were!

This week, we have been planting seeds as part of our investigation about what a seed needs to be able to grow into a strong, healthy plant. The children used their knowledge to make predictions. 
'I think the pot without water won't germinate.' - Lyla
'I think the pot without sunlight will grow a little bit but the leaves will be yellow.' - Junior
We look forward to collecting the results to see if our predictions are correct.
