Year 2 Summer term timetable

Wow, what a half term term!
From retelling The Three Little Pigs, gaining confidence using number lines to add and subtract, recalling facts about historically significant nurses, learning about how plants grow, exploring the sturdiness of structures in DT and much much more… Your children have never failed to amaze us. Well done Year 2! You have definitely earned this two week break to relax and have fun.

 

Also, there was some confusion over the PE days at the end of the day today.
Please check diaries as they are correct! PE days are Mondays and Fridays.
We will also have Outdoor learning on a Friday afternoon so please prepare children for rain, sunshine and everything in between :)

Have a wonderful Easter holiday!

See you soon,
Mrs King and the whole year two team.

Black Country Living Museum

Earlier this term, as part of our history topic on what life was like for children during the Industrial Revolution, we visited the Black Country Living Museum, where the children explored historic streets and buildings, met costumed characters, and discovered how families lived and worked in the 19th century. They also learned about the dangers of working in the mines and even had the chance to experience a Victorian-style school session, seeing first hand how different education was during that time. The trip helped bring our learning to life by showing the tough jobs, daily routines, and challenges experienced by young workers, making it a memorable and valuable day to support our in school learning.

Telford Minster Trip

This half term in RE, we have been learning all about the Easter Story and its importance to Christians. We explored the key events, from Jesus’ arrival in Jerusalem on Palm Sunday to the Last Supper, his crucifixion, and the joy of the resurrection. To deepen our understanding, we also went on a trip to Telford Minster where we learned about the different parts of the Easter Story in more detail. The visit helped us see how each moment connects together and why Easter is such a meaningful celebration for many people around the world. On our trip to the town centre, we even had time to explore Southwater Library and visit Telford Town Park!
