Good afternoon everyone,
First off, I hope this post finds you well and having had a break in one form or another over the summer.
The children have been brilliant this week! They have settled brilliantly and we are just starting to get into our 'Explorers' topic.
To start the week off, we discussed the back-to-school rules and expectations and then listened to one another regarding what we had done during the break. The children created some artwork about the activities they did and wrote a brief recount.
We have started looking at Columbus in history as part of our topic and listened to some sea shanties as well.
In maths, we have been focussing on our Y2 daily five questions, counting and place value. Have a look at this gorgeous work from today!

Good afternoon!
Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who is the greatest at symmetry of them all?
Year Two, of course!
This week, we have loved getting stuck into some shape work and below there are some lovely pictures from our symmetry lesson. The class were experts at splitting shapes equally and checking the mirror image to see if it was a line of symmetry. We used a whole load of apparatus including geoboards, which proved to be a big hit once again!

Good afternoon everyone,
This week in class two, we have been learning about Australia. We have been using a book called 'Stories from the Billabong' to learn about the Platypus and Australia. We have made comic strips about the Platypus story and the class have made some beautiful illustrations.
We have also been learning about the cities, states and territories of the country and looking at what the weather is like at different times of year, especially Christmas.
We were lucky enough to visit Netherthong Church this week and we searched around the building for different objects and the Vicar, Nick explained some of what Christians believe.

Music Galore!
Music has been a fantastic activity and inspiration this week in Class Two.
To start off, we had the brilliant flutist Simeon Wood come into school. He delivered a lovely and engaging assembly showcasing his talents and instruments and also visited us here in class to answer some of the questions we had about what he does.
Following this, we got stuck into more music linked to our topic, Australia. We have learned that the Aboriginal people can tell where other Aboriginals are from based on their versions of stories, songs and speech. This can tell them whether they come from flat desert plains or rolling mountains and coastlines.
We listened to some music from different areas around the world and tried to pick out any representation hidden in the music using key terms such as rhythm, tempo, pitch and dynamics. The class then got into groups and had a go at collaborating together to create a landscape-inspired piece of music and performed it back to the class.
Thanks everyone, have a great weekend!
Mr. H.
