Year 2 had a very exciting English lesson yesterday. They followed their set of instructions to create their own superhero cuff. The children had a great time doing this and they couldn't wait to take them home and play with them!
Date: 15th Oct 2020 @ 3:25pm
This week we have been looking at instructions. We have been learning what an imperative verb is (a bossy word) and we used these words in sentences, eg, bake the cake, stir the food, brush your teeth! We then focused on time connectives. On Wednesday we had a really fun English lesson as we followed instructions to make our own Superhero Cuff. Everyone followed the instructions carefully to create their cuff. The Year 2 Superheros wore them with pride. Our last session focused on writing up the instructions on 'How to make a Superhero Cuff'. All of the instructions included time connectives and imperative verbs.
What a super week of learning Year 2!
Please see the Year 2 gallery for more pictures.

Today we looked at a diagram of the Titanic and discussed the different shapes and colours. We then drew the outline of the ship in pencil. Before painting we discussed how we use watercolours. We learnt that by adding water to the dry paint, it creates a watery paint. We focused on using more paint than water to make sure the paint was bright and vibrant. We also concentrated on what thickness of brush we needed, depending on the areas that we were painting. We worked hard to ensure that the paint didn't merge as we wanted the colours to be clear and represent the Titanic.
Take a look at our watercolour paintings!

On 10th October is it 'World Mental Health Day' so today, Friday 9th October, we celebrated 'Rainbow Day'. Our whole school Autumn term PSHE focus is 'After every storm comes a rainbow' therefore we focused on our wellbeing by celebrating 'Rainbow Day'. We spent some time being mindful and spreading positivity.
In Miss Worthington's class we thought about what great qualities we have as a class, we all thought of one word which sums up our whole class. We then made a montage out of these words. We also painted rainbows and did some mindful colouring.
In Miss Langthorp's class we thought about our individual qualities and why we love ourselves. The children then drew a picture of themself and wrote a sentence about their qualities.
We then went outside for playtime and saw a beautiful rainbow over the school. The children were all so excited to have seen a rainbow on 'Rainbow Day'!
Please see the Year 2 gallery for more pictures.

As a little brain break between lessons Miss Worthington's class learnt how to write their name in Chinese. We looked at the alphabet and the symbols used for each letter. We then had a go writing our first names. Some were easier and shorter than others!
Please take a look at our Year 2 Gallery for all the pictures!

Eliot Midnight Superhero drama
Date: 25th Sep 2020 @ 3:43pm
Our focus in English this week has been to read and sequence the story 'Eliot Midnight Superhero'. Year Two have had great fun acting out the different scenes from the story. See the pictures for our freeze frames!
We also looked at new vocabulary from the text and used dictionaries to find out the meanings of these new words. We learnt what courage, sleuth, towering, rampaging, ingenuity and hurtling all mean. We used some of these 'wow' words in our writing.
Next week we are going to plan and write our own retells of the story. Check back next week to see some super writing.
