This term, Year 2 have enjoyed completing their topic about The Great Fire of London. They wrote diaries from the perspective of someone escaping the fire and wrote factual reports based on all the information they have learnt over the past two terms.

In maths, they have been learning to tell the time on an analogue clock. Please continue to practise this with your child at home as it is a skill which needs to be revisited regularly!

The highlight of our term has been completing our project alongside the children in Year 2 at Gunjur Lower Basic School in The Gambia. The children have compared similarities and differences between our two towns and schools. They have enjoyed seeing photographs of the children in Gunjur doing exactly the same lessons as us!

In RE, the children have been learning about the importance of community and the feeling of belonging in Islam. They compared mosques from around the world (including in Gunjur) and learnt about the routines that are followed before prayer takes place.

Lifecycles, health and hygiene have been the focus during Science. The children compared the offspring of different animals to see if they were the same or different to the adult animal. They also learnt about how to stay healthy through exercise and through eating a balanced diet.
