Year 2 19.9.25

This Week in Class

In Art, our young artists have been exploring self-portraits! Using mirrors to closely study their facial features, they mixed paints to create just the right tones for skin, hair, and eyes – resulting in some truly thoughtful and expressive work. Over in Maths, we’ve been diving deeper into number partitioning, practising counting in 10s and 1s, and learning to estimate where numbers belong on a number line. A week full of creativity and number fun! Rose Lee

Forest School

This week in Forest School, our Year 2 children got creative with nature! The class had a fantastic time making leaf-kites and crafting beautiful coloured-paper photo frames, decorated with colourful autumn leaves. The children loved exploring textures, shapes, and patterns while connecting with the outdoors. 

Science

This week in Science, we explored how the shape of objects made from different materials can be changed. We discovered that a force is a push, a pull, or a twist. The children enjoyed experimenting with a variety of materials and observing how they responded to different types of force.
