Week commencing 20th October 2025

Our emotional literacy work of the week is 'Grateful'. We are grateful that we can all come to learn at St Peter's. We are grateful for all our friends here who we can play with and have lots of fun with. We're also grateful for our equipment outside and for OPAL. All the adults work really hard and we are grateful for what they do to make Year 2 a wonderful place.  

Week commencing 13th October 2025

Our emotional literacy word of the week is 'Guilty'. If we are guilty of doing something wrong, we should always own up, be honest and apologise by saying sorry.

It has been International Week at St Peters this week and we have all jetted off to different countries in our classrooms! In our Robins' classroom, we learnt about Hungary and then we travelled to Rabbits, Foxes and Owls to learn about India, Australia and Brazil! We found out about the countries' locations, flags, languages, flowers, dress, food, toys, music, dance and art. Each year group created art work inspired by an international artist - we used 'Roll a Miro' to produce figures inspired by the Spanish surrealist artist Joan Miro. Ms Hayden even taught us drumming using the Djembe drums! On Friday, the whole school had an assembly to share what we had all learnt and the week was finished off by a great visit from a Year 2 parent who taught us even more about her hometown of Hungary.

Week commencing 6th October 2025

Our emotional literacy word of the week is 'Proud'. We are proud to belong to St Peter's School.

It has been Children's Mental Health Week and we came to school on Monday wearing something yellow. We spread positivity and happiness throughout the week and thought of how we can help others  by asking how they are and how to make them feel better. We had yellow OPAL too which was so much fun! 

Week commencing 29th September 2025

Our emotional literacy word of the week is 'Content'. When working on our art, we all feel content. 

This week has seen us all very relaxed and happy as we've created our art collages inspired by the artist Robin Brooks. In previous lessons, we prepared our papers for the collage by mixing primary and secondary colours. Then this week, we created the collage landscape scenes by ripping and cutting paper and then placing them into positions with glue. 

In maths, we learnt about benchmarks on number lines and discussed what the benchmarks are and where we would then place other numbers. 

Week commencing 22nd September 2025

Our emotional literacy word of the week is 'Disappointed'. We were disappointed when Rat left the forest in the story 'Frog and The Stranger'. 

This week, Robins have been writing great sentences linked to the story 'Frog and The Stranger' by Max Velthuijs. They have worked hard to include conjunctions and also expanded noun phrases to describe the character.

We were very lucky to take part in a drama experience led by the company 'Perform'. Children became castles and dragons as the wizard told the fantasy story. Well done Robins with your expressive actions and dramatical skills!

     

Week commencing 15th September 2025

Our emotional literacy word of the week is 'Frustrated'. We can become frustrated when we find something difficult to do or when we make a mistake, but we remain positive and persevere to carry on and try our very best.

In maths, we have been representing teen numbers using different equipment such as tens frames and beadstrings. For PSHE, we thought about how we follow our school values of positive, caring and inclusive, and created a class charter to show that we pledge to live each day in these ways. Our science enabled us to explore the materials that classroom objects are made of. We discussed the materials and their properties such as hard, smooth, transparent and fluffy. 

              

Week commencing 8th September 2025

Our emotional literacy word of the week is 'Ecstatic'. We are ecstatic to start Year 2!

Welcome to the class page of Year 2 Robins at St Peter's! We have had a fantastic start to the new school year, and we look forward to sharing our amazing learning with you throughout the following months.

Our first full week back at school saw us being awarded The Golden Dustpan! This meant we were the tidiest, cleanest and sparkling classroom. We were all so proud.
