We have been creating champion movements linking a forward roll to different movements and balances using our imaginations.

Shades of colours
We continued our learning on Jan Griffier. We looked at the colours we would use for fire. Then we looked at how to create lighter and darker shades of each colour by using more or less paint.
Subtracting two 2-digit numbers
We have explored different methods for subtracting two 2-digit numbers. We looked at partitioning the second number so that we can subtract the tens and then the ones.
How did The Great Fire of London start and spread?
We have learnt all about Thomas Farriner and his bakery on Pudding Lane. We know that the Great Fire started because a spark escaped from his oven! We made a timeline to show the four key events from the start of the fire. [gallery type="rectangular"...
Parts of a Plant
We have recapped the names of the different plant parts. We also talked about the special job each part of a plant does. We watched a video which shows how a plant grows from a seed and were amazed by how far the roots spread. [gallery type="rectangular"...

In our new Gymnastics unit we have been practicing our forward rolls and adding balances and champion movements. In our locomotion unit we learnt the importance of safe spaces and improved our jumping skills....
A mystery object…
We discovered a mystery object in our classroom today: a high heeled shoe! We tried to describe the item just by feeling it and made guesses about what it could be. Then we thought of some questions we could ask about the show using the question words 'who, what,...
What can be learned from the lives of significant people of faith?
In our first RE lesson we focused on Christianity and learned all about the life of Saint John the Baptist. We learnt how he dedicated his life to God.
Addition!

Locomotion: Jumping
Consolidate jumping.
Dead, living or never alive?

Y2BC Dance Water Lesson 4
We are using our whole body to create a sequence of movements. This week we imagined we were visiting the seaside and came up with a sequence of three movements to show what we might do whilst we are there. We worked with a partner to create a sequence of movements in...
Subordinating Conjunctions
We have explored using the subordinating conjunctions 'when', 'if', 'that' and 'because' to add extra information to sentences.
Our own experiments!
One of our wonderful Y2 children brought in their own science experiment as part of British Science Week. He showed us how we can generate static electricity using a balloon and then use the static electricity to pick up other particles - like pepper! [gallery...
