We are working really hard to improve our handwriting and learning how to join our letters. We are trying hard to show this on our English work. We are enjoying learning about Space and have been making notes about what we know about the planets and Neil Armstrong. Next week we will be writing our…

In Computing we learnt about the Internet and the World Wide Web. We had to explore this website about the Tomato Spider, http://webfronter.com/rbkc/tomatospider/, and decide if it was a real website. A lot of us were surprised that it was not real!

We really enjoyed our first time on our 'mile track'. We counted how many laps we did and will try to beat our scores next week.

We had great fun in our first PE lesson, despite the foggy weather! This half term our focus is Target Games.

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.

As part of our Christmas enterprise we had to use our times tables to work out the cost of the different items we needed to make our hot chocolate reindeer cones. We are getting quicker at remembering times tables facts for the 2, 5 and 10 times tables.

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.

We received a special package and inside it were 2 elves. We enjoyed reading The Elf on the Shelf story and have been seeing what our elves get up to each day.
