2S
A busy Half-Term!
In Maths, the children began the New Year exploring 2D and 3D shapes – learning their names, identifying the number of sides and vertices, investigating lines of symmetry, and even examining nets to build 3D shapes. They then moved on to developing their understanding of money, including recognising and identifying different coins.
In History, the children have been learning about the key events of the Great Fire of London. This learning has linked beautifully with other subjects. In Music, the children explored dynamics to help represent the drama and intensity of the fire. In Art, they focused on colour mixing, taking inspiration from Claude Monet and experimenting with different shades and tones to create expressive artwork.
Happy New Year!

Here is the curriculum overview for Year 2.
This week, we have been busy adding by making 10 using our number bonds. As well as making mosaics for our harvest art, singing a harvest festival and taking part in a Treasure Hunt just like the one Percy the Park keeper planned for his animal friends!
What a fantastic afternoon! We’ve been working on our DT projects, creating a new mode of transport for Winnie the Witch. The children’s teamwork and creativity have been absolutely brilliant throughout the process. In English, we’ve also been writing our own stories inspired by Winnie Flies Again and there has been some great stories written.
Year 2 Update – A Busy Few Weeks!
It’s been a busy and exciting few weeks in Year 2!
In Science, we’ve been learning all about living things. We used MRS GREN to help us understand the seven life processes and to sort items into categories: Living, Dead, or Never Living. The children worked brilliantly in groups, using their scientific thinking to justify their choices.
In Maths, we’ve been focusing on place value, learning how to identify Tens and Ones in two-digit numbers. Today, we used Dienes to help us split numbers into tens and ones, and practised partitioning them in different ways. The children have really enjoyed the hands-on learning and are becoming confident with place value.
Welcome to our 2S's Class Page.
We are looking forward to another exciting year ahead.
