Hello everyone!

We had an amazing and fun-filled day at Hertfordshire Zoo. The children learned lots of interesting facts and had a wonderful time exploring and seeing the animals. They thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience and it was lovely to see their excitement throughout the day.

A big thank you to all the parents who helped and supported us during the trip – your help made the day run smoothly and was greatly appreciated.

Below is a few of the photos taken. 

In English, the children rewrote their own version of The Minpins, creating new main characters, settings, and monsters. They also included descriptive sentences using conjunctions and exclamation marks.

Next week, our English lessons will focus on rehearsing for your class assembly, which takes place on Friday.

In maths, we will be continuing our topic on measurement, focusing on capacity and temperature. The children will engage in activities measuring grams and kilograms, as well as comparing volume and capacity using millilitres.

In geography, the children will sketch a map of the KS2 playground, identifying both human and physical features. They will also explore local habitats, record their observations, and present their findings in a bar chart.

On Tuesday morning, we have a Passover virtual broadcast.

We finished the week with a wonderful Science workshop for Science week. The children loved watching the demonstrations and carrying out their own experiments.

Spellings for next Friday are:

Group 1 – your, into, out, when.

Group 2 – word, work, worm, world, worth, worst, war, warm, towards, ward.

Reminder – Year 2 class assembly on Friday at 9 am.

Also, on Friday, it is Red Nose Day, the children can wear non-uniform and bring in their noses.

Have a great weekend.

From the Year 2 team.
