December 2024
In December, Year 2 took the main role in our performance of ‘Hay Bale Hotel’. We learnt lots of lines and lots of songs. We performed to lots of parents and the rest of the school.
February 2025
In D&T, we made vehicles as part of our learning on axles. We designed a set of criteria for our vehicle to ensure that it met its purpose. We planned, made (including using a saw to cut an axle) and evaluated our final product against this criteria.

In Art, we have been exploring the artist Chris Kenny, who uses found materials to create sculptures. We found some natural materials and created our own artwork in Chris Kenny’s style. In the next lesson, we found materials in the classroom and practised making different body positions as lots of his sculptures include people.
March 2025
We have been planting gladiola bulbs in Science. We will observe how these grow into a mature plant and note any changes. This is part of our topic on plants where we will be learning about wild and common plants and what they need to survive. We will investigate the best conditions for a plant to grow.
During Science week we had a visit from a scientist who talked to us about space. We then used our knowledge of materials to decide which material would be best for a rocket and explain why. We concluded that aluminium foil was the best material to use because it is inflammable, strong and lightweight.
April 2025
We took part in a maths roadshow in the hall. There were lots of different practical maths activities for us to do and solve. We all liked trying to put together the big cube, match the patterns on the fish in the fishing game and make symmetrical numbers and letters using a mirror.
