Year 2 Busy Bees
We have had a super busy half term in Year 2. We have loved our topic 'Turrets and Tiaras and some fantastic learning has taken place. We have been learning to tell the time and we are still working hard at reading o clock, half past, quarter to and quarter past on an analogue and digital clock. We have been thinking about what qualities make a good
friend and we have written our own friendship recipe. We visited Loughor castle
and found giant footprints. We were a little bit frightened but we
still followed them all the way to the top. We found magic beans
and a letter from the giant. When we returned to school we had
to plant a beanstalk and observe to see what grew.
One of our favourite memories from this half term is having our
parents in school.. We love to share our learning with you and
enjoy making you a part of our busy day.
We have invested a lot of time in our outdoor
area this half term and we are trying to get the
children out as much as we can. The children
really thrive from outdoor learning and have
been developing an abundance of skills such as
exploring capacity and gravity, travelling in a
variety of different ways, following and writing
recipes and developing their ability to work as part of a team. We observed a fantastic activity that involved the children moving gravel in the construction area. It was amazing to watch the children discover the quickest way to move the gravel. I watched personalities unravel as some children took the leadership role and began to give other children jobs.
We are looking forward to another busy half term!
