What an AWESOME half term in Year 2! (Autumn 1)
We have had a fantastic half term filled with exciting learning, creativity and discovery! Our history learning has taken us back in time to the Great Fire of London, where we ordered the events, explored how London has changed over time and brought our learning to life during our very own Great Fire of London Day! 🔥 Check out our Latest News to find out more! In English, we have been busy writing fascinating non-chronological reports all about the Great Fire and creating brilliant character descriptions of Vlad. In maths, we have been sharpening our skills by practising our times tables, adding numbers and exploring measurement. 🎨 Our artistic talents have shone as we took inspiration from Jan Griffier to create our own Great Fire of London artwork. In PE, we have been developing our ball skills, perfecting our skipping and even learning and performing an exciting Great Fire of London dance! 💃🕺 In science, we have been exploring the properties of different materials and getting hands-on with some AWESOME experiments! 🧪 What a busy, brilliant and action-packed half term it has been. We are so proud of all the enthusiasm, creativity and hard work shown by our amazing Year 2 learners! 🌟
Welcome to Sycamore and Willow Class – Year 2
2026–2027
A very warm welcome to all our Year 2 children and families in Sycamore and Willow Class!
We have had a fantastic start to the new school year and have already been busy getting stuck into our first topic, ‘The Great Fire of London’. The children have shown such enthusiasm and curiosity, and we have been really impressed by the wealth of facts they are already keen to share. It has been a wonderful start to the year!
As the children settle into Year 2, we have been talking about our Zones of Regulation and how we might be feeling at different points throughout the day. We have particularly focused on how we feel when we first arrive at school in the morning and after lunchtime. We encourage families to familiarise themselves with the Zones so that conversations about feelings and emotional wellbeing can continue at home.
