Year 2 Weekly Blog (7. 1. 22)

Date: 6th Jan 2022 @ 10:09am

We were all very happy to see the children come back to school on Wednesday morning, ready for a new term of learning.  We hope you and all your families had a restful and happy Christmas break; thank you again from all the Year 2 staff for the generous gifts that were given prior to the Christmas break.

This week, we have started our new topic: 'Once upon a time...'; in this topic, the children will be learning all about traditional tales.  The children have already impressed us with what they know about different fairy tales, telling us all about the different characters, settings and lots more besides - we even had a few children.

In Maths, they have continued to focus their learning on lengths and measuring: using rulers and metre sticks to investigate and compare.  We have been very impressed with how they have worked through these tasks collobratively and with precision.

In art, the children have been exploring the colour wheel: using the primary colours to blend and create a variety of other colours; the children experimented using different media like watercolours and poster paints.

See you next week!
