Spring term 1

During this half term in our history lessons we have been learning about astronauts that have been to space. We researched facts about Neil Armstrong and Tim Peake . We then compared the two astronauts for similarities and differences.

We had a planetarium in our school hall and enjoyed learning more about space including the stars, planets and other astronauts.

In out D&T lessons we planned and created moon buggies. We discussed different features of vehicles and identified the different parts of them e.g. wheel, axle, chassis, body, cab. We then had to practise joining wheels and axles to allow movement.

Afterwards we created a moon buggy – enhancing simple chassis, wheel and axle body with appropriate bodywork.

Spring Term 1 To enrich our learning Curtis brought the 'Wonder dome' to school, "we felt like we were really in space". We looked at the stars, planets and the milky way as well as learning about some astronauts that have been to space.

We have created moon buggies in out D&T lesson.

Numbers Day 2024. today we took part in the NSPCC Numbers Day. We raised money for a charity and had lots of fun wearing clothes with numbers on, playing games and completing number activities.

Autumn 2

We have been learning about Kings and Queens.

We have researched facts about Queen Elizabeth I and Queen Elizabeth II. We then compared the two Queens for similarities and differences.

We have also found out facts about King Charles III.

In our art lessons we used a variety of media to create portraits.

Welcome to Year 2 - 2P have had a busy half term learning all about castles in our history lessons. In addition to our visit to Tamworth Castle, we have taken part in some field work in geography to explore why castles were built where they were.

In our Art and D&T we have designed and made shields, used clay to make coil drinking vessels and looked at the water colour paintings by JMW Turner and created our own pictures of castles. We have also worked in groups to create a castle with a working drawbridge.
