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!
Peter Dalrymple (PDalrymple) on: Year 2 Class Blog
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.

Coronation Celebrations
Peter Dalrymple (PDalrymple) on: Year 2 Class Blog
Year 2 have thoroughly enjoyed their day learning all about what will happen at King Charles III's coronation this weekend. They have made their own crowns, discussed and acted out some parts of the coronation service and created a collage of the King's head in red, white and blue.
Class Collective Worship on Compassion
Peter Dalrymple (PDalrymple) on: Year 2 Class Blog
Year 2 led a fantastic Collective Worship this week on our current value of compassion. They shared the meaning of the word compassion, read the story of the feeding of the 5000 and acted this out too. Then showed some artwork they had created to show how we could show compassion in our own lives. Their singing of the song 'I'm gonna be your friend' was excellent too.
Well done to everyone!
Adel Walk
Peter Dalrymple (PDalrymple) on: Year 2 Class Blog
Year 2 enjoyed a lovely walk around Adel this morning to finish their topic about the history of Adel. We were history detectives, spotting all the different things we have learnt about during the topic. We had to identify how old they were and brought in our geography learning by deciding whether they were a human or physical feature.
Road Safety
Peter Dalrymple (PDalrymple) on: Year 2 Class Blog
As part of their PSHE leaning this week, Year 2 have been learning about the importance of road safety. They have looked at different scenarios of when it is safe to cross a road and made a set of instructions about how to cross a road safely.

Peter Dalrymple (PDalrymple) on: Year 2 Class Blog
We have started our new maths unit about length and height. Here we are getting to grips with measuring in metres!
