Autumn - Childhood

This term we have settled into year 2 brilliantly! In maths we have been working hard on our place value skills and putting them into practise by using dienes. We enjoyed a walk to our local park as part of our English topic and wrote some brilliant recounts which included time conjunctions and past tense verbs. On our walk we looked for things related to autumn such as conkers and autumn leaves. In science we have been learning about our five senses and how they support us in daily living but also what we can do to help support those who have a loss of a sense. History has given us an insight into childhood from the past and how family trees work. We related this back to how childhood is now and how our own family trees look. We found that everyone’s family tree is different. We have been working hard in our PSHE lessons thinking about how we can help and support ourselves and our friends if we are having difficulties. We had a lovely trip out for PE to improve our gross motor skills. We enjoyed our trip to the cinemas and Nandos. We’ve had a brilliant time celebrating Christmas with our trip to see the pantomime, creating crafts and preforming our very own version of the nativity. Overall, we have had a great term and we look forward to coming back in January for some more fun challenges.
