Year 2

29.01.26

This week in Year 2, we have begun innovating our story of Jack and the Beanstalk by changing the characters and magical objects. The children have impressed us with the amazing adjectives they have chosen to describe their new characters. In Maths, we have been learning about length and practising how to measure accurately using rulers in metres and centimetres. Our Science learning has focused on what happens to our bodies when we exercise, including how our heart, lungs and muscles work, and why exercise is important for our health. In Geography, we compared the UK with Brazil, exploring similarities and differences in climate, culture, scenery, clothing, homes and schools.

This week in Year 2, we have been busy learners across all of our subjects. In English, we focused on writing character descriptions, exploring how to use adjectives to describe what a character looks like and verbs to show what a character is doing. In Maths, we practised column addition by adding two-digit numbers with one-digit numbers, using concrete resources such as counters and place value equipment, as well as pictorial methods to build our understanding. In Science, we explored the microhabitats around Spring Lane Primary School, investigating the different areas of our school grounds to see what living animals we could find and discussing how each habitat provides for their needs. The children showed great curiosity and enthusiasm. We are very proud of all their hard work this week.
