2FT had a wonderful time sharing books with parents this afternoon. Thank you to everyone who was able to come.

2FT have been trying very hard with their maths this week. They have been adding and subtracting 10 from a 2 digit number-some children even managed to use 3 digit numbers!

2FT have been very busy over the last couple of weeks creating our own maths games. We made a draft copy, evaluated and improved the draft and then created a neat copy of the game. When we had finished the games we invited 2LW to play them. We had lots of fun and used our excellent maths skills to answer the different questions!

On Tuesday 5th July we headed off to Conkers. We had a great day. We travelled on the Conkerchoo, hunted seeds to find out about ‘The Secret Life of Seeds’ and make our seed butterflies, walked the Wobbly Bridges,  enjoyed time on the adventure play area and hunted animal homes and habitats around the lake. We had a fantastic time. 

Year 2 have had lots of fun being interviewed by Year 1 about what it’s like to be in Year 2. After being interviewed, the Year 2 children read stories they had written about going on a quest to the Year 1’s. 

Year 2 had a wonderful time at Conkers. They went on a train, found and learnt about different types of seeds and enjoyed exploring the Discovery Exhibit!

Today Year 2 had a very special visitor…………Florence Nightingale! She told us all about her life and the fantastic things she did. We traveled across the sea to help soldiers injured in the Crimean War, spent the night in a Victorian hospital and even became soldiers, nurses and doctors ourselves.

Over the last few months we have been growing our own potatoes as part of the ‘Grow Your Own Potatoes’ project. We grew Jesters and Rockets. Today was harvest time!

We carefully emptied the soil and sorted through to find all the potatoes. 

Then we weighed them to see which class had grown the most.

2FT Jester 525g    Rocket 648g

2LW Jesters 275g   Rocket 442g

Well done 2FT! You have greener fingers. 

We have had a wonderful time celebrating the Queen’s 90th Birthday. We had a picnic and a disco and even saw the Queen! We have also been busy making flags, pictures and a timeline of the Queen’s life.

What a fantastic Science day we have had in Year 2! We have explored density, written secret messages using lemon juice, cleaned coins using lemon juice and had lots of fun mixing cornflour and water!
