Year 2 Homework Projects

For their half term project, children in year 2 were asked to create something to represent what they had learned in History about the Victorian Seaside. We had some amazing pieces of homework!  Here are a few examples:

 

Year 2 Writing ✏

This term we have been looking at books written by Oliver Jeffers. As our final piece of writing for this unit, the children wrote their own version of the story ‘Stuck’. The children had so much fun being silly with their ideas and produced some fantastic pieces of writing! Here are a few examples.

Summer 2 Spellings

Here is a list of all the spellings that Mrs Probert’s and Miss Morgan’s group will be focusing on during Summer 2. The children will learn the rule every week and practise their spellings daily in school during our spelling session. The spellings are also uploaded to Spelling Shed weekly  so using their log in the children can practise them using a range of spelling games at home too. A spelling test will take place on a Friday every week.

New Rules Day in Year 2

Year 2 Puppets

Over several lessons we have been making an animal glove puppet. We decided which animal we would like to make and drew our designs. We used our sewing skills to fix the two pieces of fabric together using a running stitch. When we had finished sewing  we added on some extra features like  eyes, paws or tummy.

Year 2 First Aid Workshop

Today we had a special visitor called Kelly who led a Mini First Aid workshop for us. We learned about what we should do if someone hurts themselves at school, how we could help people, how to put on a plaster, how to use a bandage, when to use an ice pack and who to phone in an emergency. We had a brilliant session.

Year 2 Science

Today, we tested the strength of a single strand of tissue paper by hanging a carrier bag from it and we gently added beanbags to the bag to see how much weight the paper strip could hold until it broke. We then worked in groups to design and make the strongest rope we could from 2 strips of tissue paper. We tested the strength of our ropes and made sure it was a fair test.
