Getting into Routine
Peter Dalrymple (PDalrymple) on: Year 2 Class Blog
This week has been the children's first full week with all their lessons! It's been a busy one but there has been lots of fun and learning. They have started their DT topic on fairground rides, got engrossed in James and the Giant Peach and had lots of practical maths, creating and partitioning numbers to 100.
Welcome to Year 2!
Peter Dalrymple (PDalrymple) on: Year 2 Class Blog
It’s been a great first week in Year 2! The children have all seemed excited to be back and have got stuck in with all their new learning!
We have been looking at a book called The Planet in a Pickle Jar, which is all about preserving our favourite things so they never disappear and our week’s learning culminated in us making our own pickle jars to save the world this afternoon! It was lovely to see so many creative ideas - trees, weather, animals, food - see for yourselves below!
We have also been working practically in maths, making numbers to 100 with various apparatus, counting in groups of 10 to help us count more quickly and easily.
Well done, Year 2! Have a lovely weekend ready for more next week!
Money challenge!
Peter Dalrymple (PDalrymple) on: Year 2 Class Blog
In PSHE we have been learning about money and jobs. We had an additional challenge to work out the total if we had one of each note and coin.
We spent time using the money resources in class and working systematically to find the answer.
Alfresco Learning Workshop

We had such a fantastic morning with Alfresco Learning to round off our topic about Neil Armstrong. The workshop had elements of history, science and maths with the focus being outdoor learning. Watching our rockets fly was a WOW moment! So much fun, learning and awe and wonder!
Forest School Painting

Year 2 stayed together for some time in the conservation area on Wednesday this week. We spent time working in teams to build a shelter and then taking notice of our surroundings and creating these beautiful watercolour paintings. It was a lovely afternoon in the shade outside.

Busy week!
Peter Dalrymple (PDalrymple) on: Year 2 Class Blog
What a busy and enjoyable week we’ve had in Year 2!
We started with our performances of the Easy, Peasy Nativity which were fantastic. All of the children remembered their lines, the song words and when to come on and off the stage. We hope you enjoyed it if you were able to attend one of the performances.
And we have ended the week with French Day! The children have worked hard this week (alongside everything else!) to learn the words to ‘Je te souhaite in joyeux Noël’ which they sang with Year 1 for the rest of the school; we enjoyed a petit dejeuner in the hall this morning and have learnt some other phrases linked to Christmas along with French Christmas traditions. It has been a very enjoyable end to the week.
Gymnastics!
Peter Dalrymple (PDalrymple) on: Year 2 Class Blog
Year 2 have been practising their gymnastics skills this afternoon by creating different poses. They then had to duplicate the pose with their partner.
Post!
Peter Dalrymple (PDalrymple) on: Year 2 Class Blog
This morning, Year 2 have posted our persuasive letters in the post box outside school. We have been writing to Mr Dalrymple to persuade him to change some things around school! We’ll have to wait and see if he takes on any of our ideas which included a swimming pool in the playground and non-uniform Fridays!
Yorkshire Sculpture Park
Peter Dalrymple (PDalrymple) on: Year 2 Class Blog
Year 2 have had a fantastic day at Yorkshire Sculpture Park today. We had a tour of different sculptures, did various drawing and printing activities. Then in the afternoon, we made out own sculpture park and shared ideas about each sculpture. A very enjoyable day!
