Culture Week 12th-16th June

This week 2T have enjoyed learning all about Poland. We have learnt how to say some simple polish words and found out a lot of information about the country itself. We really enjoyed trying different Polish foods, we had a class vote and the dumplings were the overall favourite. We have all made a Polish flag and completed a Polish fact file.

Even though it wasn’t about Poland we enjoyed a Chinese ribbon workshop earlier on in the week and we even performed a dance.

Today we enjoyed getting dressed up and representing our countries. At the end of the day we had a parade around the school. What a fun week we have had!

KS1 Sports Day!

Well done KS1! You all did your BEST and you should all be very proud of yourselves!

Enjoy looking at these photos. You might like to leave me a message to tell me about your favourite activity.

2T’s Visit to Whitstable

On Thursday 2T had a fantastic time visiting the seaside town of Whitstable. We were very lucky with the weather and the sun shone for most of the day. We saw so many exciting things. We started the day off with a slow walk alongside the harbour where we saw lots of fishing nets and fishing boats. We stopped at the fish market and had a look at all the fresh seafood for sale. We walked past the lifeboat station and saw a collection of small sailing boats. We ended up on the beach where we ate lunch. After lunch, the tide was out, so we got to explore the beach even further. We found shells, crabs, oysters amongst other things.

Overall we had a wonderful day.

After Easter, we will be looking at TRADITIONAL TALES!

What is your favourite traditional tale? How many do you know? Over the Easter break, your task is to read as many traditional tales as you can. Think about who your favourite characters are and why. When we return to school we will be sharing our ideas.

Have a lovely Easter break Year 2! 🙂

2T’s Toy Museum

This term our topic has been ‘Toys’. We have spent lots of time discussing and looking at old and new toys. Recently the children in 2T have worked really hard in English and DT in order to create a Jumping Jack, Spinner and and a non-fiction instruction book to go with the Jumping Jack.

This morning we set up the classroom like a toy museum. We carefully placed our items out on the tables and then enjoyed looking at each others books and toys. It gave us the opportunity to find out what each other had made and look at each others toys.

We had a great time today and wish you could have joined us.

Back to this week.

We have been learning about adjectives and similes. Look at the powerpoint to remind yourself what a simile is and then have a go at completing the worksheet. If you can’t print out the worksheet then you could try writing some of your own down.

Horniman Museum 2T

This morning Year Two enjoyed a visit from some staff that work in the Horniman Museum. They brought along with them lots of different types of toys for the children to look at and play with.

The children have been learning about toys this term and this workshop enhanced the children’s learning even more. We looked at different toys from around the world, we discussed the materials they had been made from and how the toys are played with.

We had lots of fun!
