Welcome to Badgers Class
with Miss Sandell, Mrs Sherston and Mrs Uddin
Weekly Overview 21.6.21
The Badgers have made a great start to this half term. We started the term with our Mystery box week where we found some feathers and did lots of learning about nests and different birds. We also enjoyed meeting the athlete and learning about how he became a long jumper. In Music we have enjoyed writing and reading our own compositions using the glockenspiel and learning how to play the Ukuele.
Week 2 Weekly Overview
Summer 2 Termly and Week 1 Curriculum Overview
Our last 2 weeks of learning in Summer 1 (19.5.21-30.5.21) We enjoyed lots of practical learning including doing lots of planting in Science, making Slime in English and plenty of DT too. We finished our sewing for our patchwork quilt and made cars!
We've had a very busy 2 weeks of learning 4th-14th May. We have enjoyed learning how to measure in metres using metre sticks. Exploring parts of the plants around our school grounds, making our own Indian food in DT, creating some of our own compositions using percussion instruments linked to the story Lila and the Secret of the Rain and finally developing our Football skills in PE. The children have showed fantastic teamwork during our cooking activities and such determination when measuring, working together to measure accurately.
Year 2 Suggested Book Lists
We have had a busy first two weeks back, using lots of food to help us understand fractions. We enjoyed learning outside in Science finding out about common trees and plants. In English we have been doing some acting pretending to be the crayons from the story and learning about different kinds of conjunctions. In Art we enjoyed creating some of our own Rangoli patterns using coloured rice. In Music we have been learning to play some songs using the Boom Whackers.
