Time
Year 2 have been learning to tell the time to the nearest five minutes!
What do plants need to grow?

A French Easter
With Madame Stevens we found out about Easter traditions in France. We went on an Easter hunt looking for French vocabulary in the Spring sunshine!
Looking after our teeth
Today we had a visit from the school nurse team and Charlie Crocodile! They talked to us about how to look after our teeth and healthy food choices.
Texture collages
Inspired by the work of artist Romare Bearden we experimented with colour and texture. Then we used the collage pieces to create a picture, cutting and ripping the prints to overlap layers!
Easter gardens
We had a lovely afternoon in the spring sunshine creating some Easter gardens! We collected lots of natural materials and recreated the tomb of Jesus.
Big Cats
In English Year 2 have been writing non-chronological reports about leopards and tigers. There were lots of features to include! Reception created captions about tigers using their amazing phonics skills for spelling! Well done Class 1!
Hot Cross Buns!
In RE this week we looked at the symbolism of hot cross buns and why they are eaten at Easter. We could not resist a taste test too! Delicious!
What do animals need to survive?
In Science this week we discussed what animals and humans need to survive. We created information posters about Giant Pandas. Reception thought about pets and how they need to be looked after.
Team Building
Our PE this term is all about team building! Today we played a variety of games and worked through challenges. We had to solve problems, share ideas, listen to each other and work together!
Creating texture
We have been busy creating texture tiles using paint and a range of materials. Next week we will put them together to create collages.
Pass the parcel
We played pass the parcel with a twist - each layer had a picture from The Easter story and we used them to retell the story in the correct order. This really helped us to make sense of main events and understand why it is so important for Christians.
