Yorkshire Sculpture Park

The children had a great day at the Sculpture Park on Tuesday, with beautiful weather too! They enjoyed seeing lots of the sculptures and even more, had the chance to learn skills from a real artist. Thank you to our parent volunteers for helping make it such a great day!
Year 2 Spelling Homework
Peter Dalrymple (PDalrymple) on: Year 2 Class Blog
Tonight we are sending home our weekly spelling homework. This is a list of words taken from our previous learning in phonics and the National Curriculum Year 1 and Year 2 spelling list.
The children can practise spelling the words by saying and writing the word on one side of the sheet and exploring the word further on the opposite side.
Please feel free to practise the spellings in other ways if that better suits your child eg use magnetic letters, using technology or painting.
You do not need to return the sheet to school as we will use the words in a dictation the following week to check the children's learning.
Getting into Routine
Peter Dalrymple (PDalrymple) on: Year 2 Class Blog
This week has been the children's first full week with all their lessons! It's been a busy one but there has been lots of fun and learning. They have started their DT topic on fairground rides, got engrossed in James and the Giant Peach and had lots of practical maths, creating and partitioning numbers to 100.
Welcome to Year 2!

It’s been a great first week in Year 2! The children have all seemed excited to be back and have got stuck in with all their new learning!
We have been looking at a book called The Planet in a Pickle Jar, which is all about preserving our favourite things so they never disappear and our week’s learning culminated in us making our own pickle jars to save the world this afternoon! It was lovely to see so many creative ideas - trees, weather, animals, food - see for yourselves below!
We have also been working practically in maths, making numbers to 100 with various apparatus, counting in groups of 10 to help us count more quickly and easily.
Well done, Year 2! Have a lovely weekend ready for more next week!
Money challenge!
Peter Dalrymple (PDalrymple) on: Year 2 Class Blog
In PSHE we have been learning about money and jobs. We had an additional challenge to work out the total if we had one of each note and coin.
We spent time using the money resources in class and working systematically to find the answer.

Let’s ROCK!!

We’ve had a fab day getting set up and starting to use TTRockstars as part of our Rockstar Day! The children looked amazing in their costumes and had plenty of time to start getting to grips with TTRockstars. On Monday, children will bring home a letter explaining how to log in and use the site at home.
First week in Year 2!
Peter Dalrymple (PDalrymple) on: Year 2 Class Blog
We have had a wonderful first week back in Year 2. All the children have come back to school eager to get going with our learning.
Our learning this week has focused on a book called ‘The Planet in a Pickle Jar’. We read the story together and each child has written part of the story, designed a pickle jar and made this for our display. They thought about and decided what they wanted to preserve from the world and put this in their pickle jar. There are some excellent ideas!
End of Year 2!
Peter Dalrymple (PDalrymple) on: Year 2 Class Blog
Well, we’ve made it to the end of term. It’s been a fantastic year with all of Year 2, I hope you have enjoyed it too! Here we are on our very last afternoon enjoying the shade on this beautifully sunny day.
Thank you all so much for the lovely gifts and have a wonderful summer!
Love from Miss White, Mrs Milne and Mrs Appleton

We have started our final DT project of the year this week and tried out our sewing skills. Every child in Year 2 was able to thread a needle, tie a knot and complete a running stitch in preparation for making pouches over the next few weeks.
