Today in Year 2 during our topic lesson we were historians. Each group had a selection of photographs all of Queen Elizabeth II and some of the most significant events in her life.
First we discussed what we thought was happening in every picture then we had to order them in chronological order. We learned lots of new facts about her which we then wrote onto a timeline!
Charlie is this weeks Year 2 Reading Champion because he loves to read! He always reads at home and has so far read lots of classics such as George’s Marvellous Medicine.
I am reading different poems from the Mother Goose book.
I have Read 100 poems from it and there is even a cheese on toast poem which is my favourite because it is funny.
I always read at home and I like reading at weekends and in the morning.
Well done Charlie! It is fabulous to hear and see children enjoy reading!
Thank you so much to all the parents that were able to make our ‘Read, Write Inc’ afternoon today.
The children absolutely loved it and were keen to show what they do during phonics lessons, and how they share books with you.

Every week, the Y2 staff will be choosing a pupil to be crowned ‘Reading Champion’ to encourage the love of reading and for the children to share and read books at home and in school.
This weeks reading champion is Molly who is currently reading George’s Marvellous Medicine! Well done Molly!
I am reading George’s Medicine and I am really enjoying it. My favourite part is where the Grandma and George are mean to each other. He is so polite but his Grandma is mean to him.
I have got up to the part where where Grandma can no longer fit in the house because George has made a medicine so that she has grown so tall.
I really like reading at home and I always read at bedtime. by Molly
Today, Year 1 had a fantastic time working in teams to create kites as part of their creative session with The Children’s University.
First, we used scraps of material, glue, sellotape and paper to create a kite.
We worked in teams and helped each other. Here are some of our fantastic results!
There was a prize for the top team who worked amazingly and created a super kite!
As a special treat we were also shown a Chinese New Year dragon costume and we got to have a go.
We had a great morning being creative!
in science this term we are studying materials. Today we walked around the school grounds to identify everyday objects and what materials they are made from.
Our investigation showed that in the school grounds we have many different materials everywhere such as metal fences, wooden benches, rubber tyres and glass windows.
We discussed why each object was made from the material it was made from.
In Year 2, our new topic is Queens, Kings and Knights and we are finding out ‘What makes someone Royal?’
We have had a fabulous start to the year as we have been making some royal artefacts!
First, we learned about Coats of Arms, why people used them, why they colourful and why they used symbols. We looked at different designs and created our own!
Then, we learned all about crowns – this history of crowns, what they are made from and why the monarchy wear them.
This week the children in Year 2 have looked at the story ‘Elmer on Stilts’.
The children acted out the story and created a story map.
They also wrote a setting description and a character description.
Today the children re-wrote the story. They have learned how to use paragraphs!
Well done Year 2!
In Year 2 we have been practising logging on and off the laptops. We have been accessing our J2e accounts and have been creating some super Hull Fair pictures using lots of colours and shapes.
We are getting used to using the mouse and have even learned how to save some of our work!
In KS1 this week we have had so much fun carrying out Hull Fair activities.
In Y2, we have been very creative using our senses to describe what we can see, hear, taste, smell and feel at the fair and have written some wonderful poems using lots of adjectives and prepositions.
We have all made chocolate apples and have written some very clear instructions for how to make them.
