This week in Year 2 we have been very busy with our learning and have had lots of fun along the way!

In English, we have been writing letters to Mr Hathaway inspired by the story The Day the Crayons Quit. We imagined that different classroom objects had something important to say! The children wrote from the point of view of items like pencils, glue sticks and rubbers, explaining how they feel and what the children could do to look after them better. We loved sharing our letters and thinking about how small changes can make a big difference in our classroom.

In Design and Technology, we have begun exploring wheels and axles. The children investigated how they work and why they are so important for moving objects. We then used this knowledge to design our own moving vehicles, carefully thinking about what they will look like and how they will move. We are very excited to start making our vehicles next week!

In Science, we have been learning all about seeds, bulbs and tubers. The children really enjoyed cutting them up and looking inside to find the different parts. We compared how each one stores food and talked about how this helps a new plant to grow. It was fascinating to see how different they are, even though they all do the same job.

Well done Year 2 for another fantastic week of learning! 🌟
