🌟 This Week in Year 2 🌟

We have had another fantastic week in Year 2, with lots of practical learning, creativity and brilliant ideas!

🐟 Science

This week in Science, we have been learning all about fish. We even had a real fish to examine! We looked closely at it to identify the features that make it a fish and discussed how these help it to survive underwater.

The children then became scientists themselves, creating careful scientific drawings and labelling the different parts of the fish. They were fascinated by being able to see everything we had been learning about up close!

🐪 Geography

In Geography, our journey took us from the freezing conditions of Antarctica to the heat of the Sahara Desert. We located the Sahara on a world map before focusing on one of its most famous inhabitants – the camel.

We explored how camels, just like penguins, have special adaptations that help them survive in their harsh habitats. The children were brilliant at spotting the similarities and differences between surviving somewhere extremely hot and somewhere extremely cold!

🦊 English

In English, we have started thinking about our own sequel to Follow Me, Little Fox. The children created a brand-new character who could join Little Fox on his next adventure.

Year 2 absolutely loved creating their characters and came up with some wonderful ideas and narratives. We will now use these fantastic characters to help us plan our own stories.

🔢 Maths

In Maths, we have been practising counting in 2s, 5s and 10s. Although we are already getting very good at these, it is important that we keep practising so that we can recall them quickly and confidently.

This is a great one to practise at home too – perhaps try counting in 2s, 5s or 10s while walking, climbing the stairs or even in the car!
