Today was our first reading club in Year 2. We had lots of fun playing on Teach Your Monster to Read. We can’t wait for next Friday lunchtime!
Category : Year 1/2
This week our parents and carers joined us for a ‘Come and Read’ session. We showed them our comprehension skills and they were amazed! Thank you parents and carers for your continued support.
In topic this week Year 2 have been painting self portraits. They really focused on their features and thought about which colours they needed to use. Do you like them?
On Wednesday we then wrote instructions for how to paint a self portrait.
Labeling parts of the body
This week, in year 1, we have been learning about the different parts of the body and what they are called.
We drew around one of our classmates and used the outline to label each of the main parts of the body.
Afterwards we labeled our own pictures of the human body.
We now know the names of the 6 main parts of the body! 
In English Year 2 are looking at the text ‘The Singing Mermaid’. So far they have learned the story using signifiers and created story maps. They acted out the story on our stage in the theater! There was some fabulous acting!
Year 2 have been focusing on number in Maths. Miss Stathers’ class been learning about the place value in a number and how they can represent this is different ways.
They have used Numicon to understand the difference between tens and ones. Super work!
As a ‘Wow Day’ to launch our new topic, ‘What can you show the world?’ KS1 came to school showing their hidden talents. We had lots of different talents ranging from dancing to baseball!
In the morning we spent time learning new talents with Mr Seymour, Miss Farrah, Miss Stockton and Miss Stathers. 
Then in the afternoon we held our own show. It was brilliant fun!

Northern Ballet Workshop with Year 2
As part of Hull City of Culture, Northern Ballet visited Year 2 for the morning. The workshop focused on colour. The children had to paint the room their favourite colour through their dance moves. They then thought about how colours make you feel and moved around the room to express this!
We had a brilliant time!
