Year 2 News
Lobsters have had a brilliant half term!
Lobsters class have loved our Coastlines topic this half term! They have learnt all about human and physical features, the impact of erosion and plastic pollution. Some highlights from this half term include making sculptures out of plastic, learning about habitats and making clay lighthouses! We have read lots of books linked to our topic this half term, including a few class favorites - 'The Lighthouse Keeper's lunch' and 'The Snail and the Whale'! Well done for all of your fabulous work this half term Lobsters!
What a super half term Pufferfish!
The children have loved learning all about coastlines. They have explored, both human and physical, coastal features as well as the effects that sea pollution is having on our wildlife. To raise awareness the children designed and made sculptures out of plastic.
We have enjoyed reading 'The Lighthouse Keepers Lunch' where the pesky seagulls devoured poor Mr Grinlings lunch and all the children have written some super descriptive pieces of work. In addition, they were then keen to create and paint a replica lighthouse and I'm sure you will agree that they have done a super job.
Enjoy a well earned rest over half term.
A busy month for Puffins!
We hope you enjoy these fabulous photos. Over the last half term we have learned about continents, oceans as well as the UK. We have explored physical and human features found at coastlines and learned about the harmful effects of plastic pollution.
The photos show our plastic creations which were designed to make people aware of the damage one use plastic can do. In addition, we were delighted with our clay lighthouses! Have a great half term everyone.
Seashells Artists
Seashells have learnt about human and physical features this term, all of the children could tell me that a lighthouse is a human feature as it was made by man. We decided we would also create our own lighthouses. Check them out!
We have also had several mini rewards this week, such as free play PE, a movie and crafts, this is because Seashells have been AMAZING this half-term. Well done all!
Puffins 2024-25 What a start!
It's been an exhausting and exciting first full week back for our fabulous Puffins. We all enjoyed Coastlines day. Our ice-cream froze well and then we started on lots of smashing seaside activities. The smiles in the pictures say it all but it'll be no surprise that the most popular activity was the ice-cream eating!
Pufferfish 2024-2025
What better way to start our Coastlines topic than with a seaside day! All the children loved creating seaside collages, sketching beautiful shells, building mini sandcastles and then eating the delicious ice cream that they made themselves. Yum yum!
The children have all worked so hard since joining Year 2 and have a load of Dojo's to show for it. Keep being fabulous Pufferfish!
