This week we started our new learning theme called Flames and Fireworks. We are very excited about this topic and have lots of new things to explore and learn! In our English lessons we have been retelling the story of How the Elephant Got his Trunk and writing this as an extended piece of writing including all our skills we learnt before half term including expanded noun phrases and conjunctions. In RE we have began learning about Hinduism and asked some questions about the religion which we will find out the answers to as we explore our RE topic further. In History, we have been learning about Guy Fawkes and the Gunpowder Plot and are all very excited to see some fireworks in real life at the weekend!

Week Beginning 17.10.22

This week in Year Two has been extremely busy! All the classes have been planning, cooking and evaluating their Jollof Rice this week. We all enjoyed cooking the rice dish and we practised using the bridge method of chopping to safely cut all of our vegetables up. Once we had chopped everything up we began to cook our vegetables, rice chickpeas and add our sauce and spices. Some of us were a little apprehensive to try the rice but we all were brave and tasted what we had cooked and most of us really enjoyed eating it! We have put the recipe on Google Classroom in case you would like to make this at home over half term.

Thank you to all the parents and carers that came to our reading Come and Learn sessions this week. We really enjoyed having you in school to demonstrate the key skills in reading and developing comprehension. We hope you enjoyed your trip into school and it was a useful experience.

We also had our Harvest Festival this week. On Wednesday morning, all of Year Two took part in the Harvest Festival assembly singing the songs we had learnt and been practising as well as listening to a talk from our local church reverend Kevin about the meaning of harvest.

On Thursday after school, some of the children in the eco and charity committee helped organise and run a pumpkin event in school to raise money.
