In DT this term Year Two have been learning about vehicles. We have
had lots of fun learning about wheels and axles. The children had the
opportunity to design and make a vehicle that moves. This vehicle was
on the theme of Carnival.
Within Literacy lessons Year Two have been following instructions. The
children made pirate hats, pirate ships, jam sandwiches and delicious
cakes! The children produced excellent writing as a result of these activities.
As part of our History topic we have been focusing on The Great Fire of
London. The children really enjoyed finding out about the fire and we
produced a dance within our PE lessons. The children are rowing in a boat
in this picture.
This term
Year Two looked at the topic of Electricity in Science. It gave the
children an introduction to the concept of electricity and the essential
role it plays in everyday life. The children were also introduced to
the hazards associated with electricity.
Our Geography topic this term was "An Island Home". We looked
at the island of Struay which features in the Katie Morag stories. One
of the main things we focused on is 'How is Struay similar to, and different
from, our locality?'
Within Literacy we read the stories The Lighthouse Keeper's Lunch and
The Lighthouse Keeper's Breakfast. As a result the children made lighthouses
linking our Geography topic with our Literacy and Science work as well.
