Year 2: End of Term 5

Another fun term of learning!

A fun term of learning:

Science:

We have been investigating materials that can be squashed, stretched, bent and twisted. We conducted an experiment to find out which object/material stretched the furthest.

Physical Education:

We have been learning how and why we need to jump. We have had time using our new and improved jumps, including taking part in a ‘hop, step, jump’ competition.

Religious Education:

We have learnt about Judaism and what Jewish people believe in. Ask your child all about Shabbat!

Art:

Linking to our English book, we have designed and created the crocodile from ‘How to find gold’.

Maths:

In maths we have been exploring time. We have used clocks to help us find 5 time in 5-minute intervals.

English

We have read the story of “How to find gold.” In English this term we have made our own treasure maps to find gold; created a fact file on crocodiles; wrote a diary entry as the character Anna; described sea monsters and created an acrostic poem for a poetry competition!

DT:

We have been looking at structure and stability. Our end goal was to create a chair for Baby Bear to sit on. We started by creating our ‘mock’ chair.

Once we had explored the features of a chair and what the chair needed to be able to do, we began creating our chairs.

History:

We have been exploring school 100 years ago! We have compared our school to schools in the 1900s. We interviewed Mrs Murphy about her experience at school.

Music:

In Music we have been learning the friendship song. We have compared the song to different pieces of music and have then performed it.

Computing:

In computing we have been looking at Gustav Holt’s music about planets. We have created different music on computers and used this to explore our emotions.

PSHE:

In PSHE we have been looking at relationships. We have discussed people that are important to us, who we trust and ways to keep ourselves safe.

Have a restful half term!
