This afternoon Year 2 and Year 5 spent some time with their buddies as part of Anti-bullying Curriculum Day and designed a pair of odd socks together. They worked really hard on the designs and used excellent teamwork.
Year 2
Year 2 David Litchfield Visit
Today Year 2 had an exciting visit from author and illustrator David Litchfield. They listened to him read his story ‘The Bear and the Piano’, asked questions about what it was like to be an author and took part in a draw along with David. They all had a fantastic time!
Year 2 Emotions
Today Year 2 children took part in a ‘Big Emotions’ workshop. They learnt about what it feels like to have a worry and what to do about it. They also practised some breathing and relaxation techniques. Finally they created a hand picture full of people who can help them and things that make them happy.
Year 2 Feelings Monsters
In RHE lessons Year 2 have been looking at different emotions and how their body feels when they experience each emotion. They each chose one emotion and created a feelings monster to show that emotion. They thought carefully about the expression on their monster and used this to decide what their eyes, nose and mouth might look like.
Year 2 Geography
Year 2 have started their exploration of Norwich compared to Shanghai by creating models of Norwich landmarks. Have a look at their versions of Norwich Castle, Norwich Market and Carrow Road!
Year 2 Self Portraits
Year 2 have started the year by creating self portraits. They sketched their own face before making a background for their picture using collage, black fine liner details and watercolours. They did a fantastic job, well done Year 2!
Year 2 Smoothie Making
This half term in DT Year 2 have been taste testing and designing smoothies. This week they made their recipes and all enjoyed a delicious smoothie featuring a whole range of exciting ingredients.
Year 2 Maths – Tally Charts
This week Year 2 have started learning about tally charts. To practise making tally charts they went into the school car park and tallied up the different car colours they could see. After looking at their completed tally charts they found out white cars were the most common in the car park today.
Y2 – Compliments
In RHE lessons Year 2 have been learning about celebrating themselves and others. They have discussed what makes a good compliment and then spent some time writing compliments for their classmates so everyone was able to take home a page full of positive messages!
Year 2 History – Titanic
This half term Year 2 have been learning about the Titanic. To learn more about life on board, they used picture sources to find evidence about the different things people could do and the differences between 1st class and 3rd class.
