This week in Year 2

English

We continued our novel called 'Dear Earth' by Isabel Clara Anganuzzi. We wrote beautiful poems about our wonderful Earth using our book and celebrating Earth Day 2024. We have also written a diary to describe how beautiful Earth is and making suggestions for how we can make it better. We have also written a recount about our trip to Brockholes Nature Reserve. 

Maths

This week we continued learning about multiplication and using arrays.

RE

We listened to more Scripture about Jesus from Acts in the Bible. We also celebrated how we show we are opening our heart to God.

Forest School

We also celebrated Earth Day which was on Monday of this week. We played our bee game again but this time we added in a waggle dance which is how the bees communicate with each other when they are looking for nectar.

We scattered some wildflower seeds because we know that they provide bees, butterflies and other pollinators with food. We also picked up all the litter we could find in our nature area.

Art

We created brilliant art with their own forest paint brushes. We explored the different textures and marks using acrylic paint.

Have a lovely weekend.
