Autumn 1 - Superheroes

Laura Berry-Simpson (l.berry) on: Year 2

We have had a lovely first half term in Year 2.

Here are some of the things we have been up to:
- We have learnt about real life superheroes like Florence Nightingale, Mary Seacole and Sir Captain Tom.
- We have learnt about the role that nurses, the police, the fire service and supermarket staff have in our community and learnt how they are superheroes too.
- We made a card for Gildersome's Coop to show them our appreciation of their hardwork throughout lockdown.
- We have learnt about Place Value in Maths.
- We have learnt how to write in paragraphs and how to use adjectives to make our writing more exciting.
- We have learnt about how to look after our teeth and carried out a gross egg experiment.
- Class 2M even managed to achieve their class target and were rewarded with a film & snacks afternoon with their favourite teddies.

We can't wait for the next half term where we will be learning all about... CHOCOLATE!

Handwriting Practice Sheets

Anna Head (a.head) on: Year 2 Blog - 2019-20

Hi everyone,

Lots of children have said they really want to work on their joined handwriting whilst they are off to keep working towards a pen license!

I have made some practice sheets, in the same format as we would do them at school, for you to use with your children should you choose to.

We either normally would print them and the children copy of a full line of each word and then write the sentence out twice in the space underneath, or this sometimes is just displayed on the board (perfect if you don't have a printer) and then the children copy it into their books, again a line of each word and then the sentence twice.

We recommend only one section a day as little and often is the best way to improve handwriting. The children need to pay attention to how each of the letters join.

Thank you.
