Autumn 1
The children have made a great start to their learning in Year 2. This term we have enjoyed sharing stories and poems. In particular we loved drawing story maps and inventing new episodes for the characters in the story. We also wrote a leaflet giving instructions on being a good friend. First we thought about different situations and what we could do to help a friend.
In PE we have been practising lots of skills for playing games. We have been learning to control different types of balls by throwing, rolling and dribbling. We have enjoyed competing in team games and learning to work togther cooperatively.
In our class assemblies, we have been thinking about helping others when they are hurt. We have practiced different first aid skills such as how to help someone if they choke and putting someone in the recovery position.
In art, we have been exploring lines and dots! First, we have looked at artwork by different artists including Yayoi Kusama. Then we explored using different painting tools to create different patterns and textures. Finally, we created our own plant paintings using some of these techniques.
Our science lessons have been all about plants. We learnt about the lifecycles of plants and that some plants grow from seeds and some from bulbs. We planted some seeds and bulbs to see how long they take to grow. We were surprised that the seeds planted in the dark germinated at the same time as the seeds in the light but the seedlings were very yellow. We are still waiting for our bulbs to grow!
