As our English text focuses on Plop, an owl who is afraid of the dark, Mrs Hargreaves set the children a task of creating their own birds nest at home. Look at the outstanding effort which the children (and their families) have gone to by creating these amazing birds nests.

"and Tango makes three" Penguin life cycles - Year 2, by Mrs Harrison
Date: 12th Jan 2018 @ 2:09pm
This week, Year 2 have begun learning about the growth of animals.
We have read the book "And Tango makes three" by Justin Richardson which is about 2 daddy penguins who are sad because they don't have an egg like the rest of the other couples. Luckily, the kind zoo keeper helped the daddy penguins by giving them an egg.
We discussed how mummy animals and humans have babies and that depending on the animal type, they may look the same as their parents or they may look different. For example, birds lay eggs and look different. Mammals are born looking like a smaller version of their parents.
We then played a game to see if we could match the adult animal to the baby animal with the challenge of naming them all.

They organised themselves into their own groups and were in charge of creating something to share to the class. We had a range of performances such as; plays, posters, songs, puppets and lego constructions.
Year 2 - Jump high little dolphin you are safe now, by Mrs Harrison
Date: 21st Dec 2017 @ 7:38am
As a class, Year 2 researched, presented and voted for the animal which they felt needed their help the most.
We used the information provided on the WWF website to inform us of all those endangered animals.
Year 2 couldn’t believe how many there were and the reasons behind them becoming endangered.
From the votes, it came about that we would adopt a dolphin for our Christmas gift.
They thoroughly enjoyed unwrapping their present today to find lots of information about the dolphins as well as a certificate for each child.
The class will continue to develop their understanding of animal conservation in the Spring term.
Jump high little dolphin you are safe now!
