Autumn 2
WB 17.11.25
Although the weather has turned decidely cold, it hasn't stopped Year 2 enjoying another Forest School session this week. They have been creating conker crafts, building dens, constructing hammocks and much more! It is fantastic to see them work as a team to achieve a goal and interact with one another. Also the 'Snow Queen' has visited the school this week, leaving a destructive mess of shards of ice and snow, the children were extremely excited to see the 'crime scene' and make predictions on reasons behind such chaos! We will be finding out more in our new Talk for Writing unit! In DT this week, the children have been looking at toy mechanisms, exploring how they move and the use of axels, ready for designing and constructing a Victorian toy in the coming weeks.

This week Year 2 have begun their 'Forest School' sessions. The children were very excited to explore the wooded area and all the activities that will be available to them over the coming weeks. A firm favourite is already building dens, as well as tree climbing, nature crafts and bug hunting! It was lovely to observe the children in a different learning environment and watch them flourish amongst nature and with their peers.
WB 3.11.25
It has been great to welcome the children back after the half term break. We have begun our new topic of 'Queen Victoria', which the year group have thoroughly enjoyed so far. We have also been exploring what an emotion is in PSHE and different feelings we have, creating some beautiful 'Emotion Flowers'. This half term is also going to be extremely festive, we have begun by discussing the Nativity story and sequencing key events that happened in RE. Autumn 2 is going to be a very busy, but a very fun and exciting half term!
