Year Two have thoroughly enjoyed continuing their ‘Oh I Do Like to be Beside the Seaside’ topic this term. Following on from a Geography focus last term, since Christmas they have been learning about Victorian seaside traditions and comparing them to modern traditions. They were very lucky to welcome the Victorian lighthouse keeper, Grace Darling, into class to answer their question about her heroic shipwreck rescue. Some of the children thought she looked remarkably like Miss Haines, but the rest of us are convinced that we met a Victorian celebrity!

The children were able to consolidate their knowledge and make links in their learning during their trip to Trowbridge Museum. The workshop about seaside traditions past and present was fantastic!

In Art, the children have learnt about a collage artist called Eileen Downes and they have produced their own seaside collages using her style.

In Maths, the focus has been on money. The children now recognise all of the notes and coins and can use them to make different amounts. They have begun to understand the concept of giving change and are keen to practise this in real life situations! We hope they can have a go over half term!
