Week beginning 24th March 2025

Our week started with our visit to the great Windsor Castle. Children were amazed by Queen Mary's dolls' house and the grand state apartments. During the day we identified the features of a castle as we walked around the grounds and also the features of a church when we went into St George's Chapel. 

The week ended with children completing their Scooterbility training and also receiving the golden dustpan...again!! :) What another fun filled week we've had in Year 2 Robins.

In English, we've enjoyed learning about free verse poetry and how similes are used by poets. We went on a simile hunt around the school to help inspire our own poetry writing.

This week, children in Robins have had lots of fun creating their art masterpieces! Children explored mark making, tracing and watercolours to create their individual pieces inspired by Quentin Blake's illustrations.

Robins have been researching animals for their non-chonological reports. Together, they decided on different headings for the parts of the reports and then they used non-fiction books and resources online to help them find relevant information. The children learnt how to make notes to be used next week when they start writing.

Wow! What a fantastic week fo Robins! So much learning and fun which started with our Learn and Share and ended with our class assembly about 1066! Thank you to all the parents who joined us on Tuesday to find out about what the children have been learning in school and also for coming to watch the class perform on Friday. We really appreciate all your support at home and couldn't do it without our great community.

Week beginning 13th January 2025

In science, children went hunting for microhabitats and identified minibeasts living in those different environments. They found worms under logs, spiders below wood, slugs on bark and snails within the soil.

Children recreated scenes from the story Rapunzel by Bethan Woollvin. They then wrote dialogue between Rapunzel and the witch in the form of speech and thought bubbles. We have also been developing skills of using coordinating and subordinating conjunctions in sentences.

Week beginning 6th January 2025

Robins have come back to school refreshed and raring to learn! It's great to all be back together again. Children have started learning their new topic about castles and have created their own class Bayeux Tapestry. 

In maths, we have learnt about Carroll Diagrams and tally charts and how to use these to sort and gather data. In groups, children have used our class tally chart of favourite colours to create block graphs.

In PE, Year 2 are continuing gymnastics and also learning Drumba! Look at these photos of them all having fun and showing great rhythm.

We're all very impressed with their hard work this first week back!

Robins have been rehearsing for their Year 2 Nativity, Prickly Hay. It's been a busy week practising songs and trying on costumes! We're all looking forward to performing next week to our families and the school.

In Literacy, we have been writing letters to vets, zoos and dragon experts, to give information and to find out information about looking after a dragon. Have a read!

Week beginning 4th November 2024

Year 2 Robins have returned to school after the half term holiday refreshed, energised and ready to learn. They have started their gymnastics sessions run by Mark Westley and built upon their Year 1 skills by practising shapes, rocking and forward rolls.

In science, we have begun our unit Living Things and Their Habitats. We went on a hunt in our outdoor space to identify things that are living, were living and never have been living. Children worked well in their groups and had great discussions!

Auditions were held for our nativity, Prickly Hay. We were amazed at the great talent and enthusiasm of all children! Now to learn the lines and keep practising the beautiful singing.

Welcome to Year 2 Robins!

It's been a great first week back with the fantastic Foxes becoming rocking Robins. Children have settled in well to the new year and we are all looking forward to the exciting learning and experiences ahead.
