Year 2 Class Gallery 2026-2027
Y2 St Porres Day
On our St Martin de Porres House Day, we learnt about his important work helping the poor as well as founding an orphanage for abandoned children. We raised money for the Demelza children's charity and in the afternoon, Charlotte from Year 6 taught us how to play a card game called "Go Boom!" and we also enjoyed eating the delicious cakes that the Porres children had kindly donated.
Y2 PE
In gymnastics, the children have enjoyed practising creating different shapes and balances with their partner, devising a short sequence and holding their shapes at low and high levels to add variety.
Y2 Art
Continuing our learning about different styles used by artists for their portrait work, we looked at the work of Pablo Picasso and then the children created their own portraits showing different perspectives.
Y2 RE
During our reflection time this week, the children wrote and shared some thoughtful prayers to say what they are thankful for.
Y2 Eco Afternoon
Our whole school Eco Afternoon was a perfect opportunity to remind us of our responsibilities to act as "stewards" and to look after the wonderful world that God created for us. Working together, we swept, weeded, tidied and made the terrace look beautiful again!
Y2 Celebration of the Word
Using the parable of the landowners, the children explained how we should act as "stewards" and care for God's creations such as plants, animals and all livings things. Holding up their colourful posters, they gave some suggestions as to how we can care for our school, home and world. They also shared their thoughtful prayers reminding us to see the beauty in the natural world around us and to show care, kindness and respect towards all of God's creations.
Y2 RE
To remember the important messages from our learning about Creation and Covenant, the children created their own artwork with the key words around the side of their pictures.
Y2 English
We enjoyed sharing our Journey Tales with Year 1, which included adverb openers, adjectives and conjunctions to describe what problems the Jolly Postman encountered on his journey through the Fairytale Woods. Well done to the Year 2 children for proudly sharing their stories and to Year 1 for being such a good audience!
Y2 Forest School
We had a wonderful day at Forest School in the beautiful Autumn sunshine! We enjoyed our sensory nature walk; using natural materials to create some Autumn artwork; and making some charming woodland creatures from clay. We finished our day with hot chocolate and toasted marshmallows around the campfire and we each shared what we were grateful for from our Forest School day.
Y2 Maths
We have been revising our knowledge of multiples of 10s - making them, comparing them, as well as adding and subtracting 10s from a multiple of 10. By using the Dienes, the children could clearly see that when adding and subtracting 10s, the tens digit changes, whereas the ones digit stays the same.
Y2 Science
Our investigation this week was to explore whether children with the biggest hands also have the biggest feet! Working in small groups, the children accurately measured their hands and feet, carefully recorded their measurements and then analysed their results to answer the investigation question and to see if their prediction was correct. Generally, they found that those children with the biggest feet, also had the biggest hands!
