What a start to out leaning journey in Year 2!
- In English we have been learning to write stories, poems and instructions. As well as reading, reading and more reading. We love our daily story time.
- We are experts ant tens and ones in maths.
- Our history lessons have been all about significant events. We learned about the Great Fire of London, why we celebrate Bonfire Night, what happened on 11th November 1918 and why people wear poppies, the significance of the discovery of King Tutankhamun tomb by Howard Carter, and how the actions of Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King changed the world.
- As part of our learning we visited Fireground in Rochdale and designed and made our own Fire engines .
- Our RE topics have been The Bible and Good News. We learned why the bible is an important book for Christians, and we made our own Dead Sea Scroll with our favourite bible story on them. We enjoyed sharing our good news with each other and learning how the Angels brought good news about the birth of Jesus to different people.
- In art we learned about the work of the sculpture Alberto Giacometti, and then created our own.
