In science year 2 are learning about animal lifecycles. Mrs Fletcher made us a video of her hen Vanessa and we asked her some questions about how a hen grows and how she looks after her so she survives. 

In our music this week we created different patterns using coloured counters. We used percussion instruments to follow the pattern. We then used chrome music lab on the ipads to create a musical pattern on the ipads. We had a vote to see which way of making music we enjoyed most. It wasn't a…

At the start of year 2 we planted some sunflower seeds so we could observe how plants grow and change. We were really excited to see how much they had grown (with a little bit of help from a greenhouse!) Today we have measured the height of the plant and identified the roots, stem and leaves.

It was great to visit church and have the chance to ask questions and explore items that are in the church.

Ask your children to explain what the pictures are.

What a fantastic afternoon we had in Year 2. We welcomed some special visitors from BAE into class where we took part in a Roving Robot activity.  Our focus was on teamwork. We had to work together, listen to each other and make decisions to control the speed of the robot.
