We started off our new theme 'Explorers' by thinking about what an explorer is. We then had to imagine that we were an explorer and draw and write about what equipment we would take on our expedition.

Our first Computing lesson of the year focused on Online Safety. We watched a video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nMUbHuffO8) and discussed the top tips for staying safe online.

Year 2 really enjoyed party day and bringing in their own toys to play with, followed by a disco in the hall.

We enjoyed making Christingles for the Christingle assembly, after learning about what each of the parts represent.

We really enjoyed the preparations for the Christmas Fair. We made Christmas lights biscuits and hot chocolate reindeer cones. We were busy elves helping to get everything ready.

In Science we talked about why we take medicines and how they help us. We also discussed what to do if we found something that looked like sweets and what we would do to keep safe.
