Year 2 Weekly Blog 20.9.24

Date: 20th Sep 2024 @ 3:25pm

We have had an exciting week in Year 2! 

During Computing, we reinforced our knowledge of what information technology is and found lots of examples around our school such as the printer, sign in screens and chromebooks. The children enjoyed sharing their favourite things to use information technology for and practised logging in and out of the Chromebooks.

Taking advantage of nature, the children became explorers and collected natural objects. As artists , the children used different drawing styles to draw some of these objects using different media. We were impressed with the children's continuous line and 'feely' drawings! 

During geography, we explored where we live, starting with the World, continent, country, county, city and then went onto explore Formby in more detail. The children were fabulous at explaining why Formby was a great place to live from prehistoric footprints on the beach to the World's first lifeboat station, National Trust space, red squirrels and Naterjack toads!

We continued looking into the Jewish religion and focused on the mezuzah and why it is important within a Jewish home. We looked at the Shema, the Jewish prayed that is written on a scroll within the mezuzah and discussed what the prayer meant. We then discussed what is important to us within our classroom, how should we behave, how we should treat God, nature and our peers. 

We hope you all have a lovely weekend,

Take care, 

The Year 2 Team
