Autumn 2

We have had a very exciting half term in Year 2 learning all about London and the adventures Paddington has there! 

Our learning has been based around different Paddington stories which has been really fun. In English, the children wrote their own Paddington adventure stories where Paddington explored different famous landmarks. The children really got into role and pretended they were Paddington in London. Our Geography learning has been based around the UK and the different countries within it. We also looked at world maps, atlases and globes to find Paddington's journey from Peru. We made some comparisons between England/ London and Peru and noticed how different they really are! Our Art learning has been based on Paddington too! We learnt different sketching techniques and put this into practise by sketching our very own Paddington! We then used watercolour to paint him. They look great! 

All of this learning and more was celebrated in our Paddington Christmas assembly.

The Year 2 team are so proud of what the children have accomplished this half term. Well done Year 2 Super Stars! 

Welcome to Year 2

2024-2025

Autumn 1

What an amazing start we have had to the year! The children have really thrown themselves into their learning and are very excited about our first topic - The Great Fire of London! We have been super impressed with their interest and curiosity in maths and they have blown us away with their use of expanded noun phrases in English. 

We have also been discovering the properties of materials in science and they have carried out some amazing investigations already - deciding on the absorbency of materials to use to make a bucket for firemen.
