Year 2

Another great year has flown by in Year 2, and they have been inspired by their Summer Term topic; ‘Tales of a Riverbank’.

The children have learnt lots of interesting facts about rivers and our canals and even know how a lock works.

They had great fun dissecting flowering plants to see how they are pollinated and learnt what they need to grow.

When studying animal classification in our Science lessons, they learnt about the features and characteristics of creatures that live on and by the river bank; they produced some amazing art work!

Our book this term was 'The Wind in the Willows', and this inspired our creative writing - we even pretended to be an estate agent and write an advert to help sell Mr Badger’s home.

The Year 2s enjoyed making simple electrical circuits to light a bulb for Toad Hall and make a buzzer buzz for an alarm for Toad.
