What have Y2 been up to?
Week 1-04.11.25
English:
This week, Year 2 focused on using expanded noun phrases in their writing while describing events from the Great Fire of London. They also explored the difference between past and present tense, learning how verbs can change meaning and improve sentence structure. Their creativity and attention to detail have been fantastic.
Maths:
In maths, we worked on data and statistics, using tally charts to count and record information. Children also practised counting in 3s, using number lines, 100 grids and addition strategies to support learning. These activities helped strengthen their understanding of patterns and data handling while improving fluency in number work.
Art:
We began our new drawing unit, where children practised mark-making and creating patterns. These exercises helped them develop control and confidence in their drawing technique. The focus was on experimenting with lines and textures, laying the foundation for more detailed artwork later in the term.
PE:
In PE, children practised dance routines inspired by the Gunpowder Plot. They used gestures and body language to express ideas creatively, working together to choreograph sequences. It was wonderful to see their confidence grow as they combined movement with storytelling to bring historical events to life.
