🌟 Year 2 Weekly Blog 🌟
We have had another fantastic week of learning in Year 2!
📚 English
This week in English, we started reading our new book, Katie in London. We thought carefully about how the lion might have felt when he came alive after sitting on the stone in Trafalgar Square for so long. We used our imaginations to describe his thoughts and feelings. We also discussed how members of the public might have reacted as the lion bounded out of Trafalgar Square! Later in the story, Katie and her brother Jack visited the Crown Jewels, and we enjoyed thinking about what the lion might say to them at this point.
👑 History
In History, we learned about Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation. We discovered that her coronation took place in 1953, one year after the death of her father, King George VI. We found out that the ceremony was held at Westminster Abbey and lasted for three hours. It was fascinating to learn about this important event in British history.
🔬 Science
In Science, we have been exploring what humans need to survive. We discussed the difference between a need and a want and thought carefully about examples of each. We all agreed that although a holiday is something we would really like, it is not something we need to survive!
🔢 Maths
In Maths, we have been practising counting in 2s, 5s and 10s. We have also been developing our problem-solving skills by completing missing number problems and finding missing numbers on number lines. We have practised our times tables on Hit the Button, and the children may like to play this at home.
👜 Design and Technology
In DT, the children designed a bag by drawing and labelling its main parts. We have also selected the style of bag we would like to make, and the children have all chosen the colour of felt that they would like to use for their Paddington bag. We cannot wait to make our very own bags!
