What an end of summer term year 2 have had!

We had a fantastic sports day where all the children enjoyed taking part in the activities.

This term we have read Fantastic Mr Fox. Three farmers set to catch Mr Fox after they become tired of him stealing food from them to feed Mr Fox’s family. However, Mr Fox outsmarts the farmers and, in the end, feeds all the animals while the farmers unsuccessfully wait to catch the fox. We learnt the moral of the story was to not let your pride get in the way of those you love most. 

In writing we have worked hard in writing our own version of The Three Little Pigs. We have enjoyed the repetition of the story. We then decided to change the characters in the story and re tell the story with our own new characters. We included expanded noun phrases, adverbs, commands and a question in our writing. We then enjoyed reading our own stories in the class to each other.

In History we finished off our revisit of The Great Fire of London. We investigated the spread of the fire through art work and facts we have learned.

Also, during our field trip we used our map skills we have learned in Geography to locate clues, look for wildlife and we built our own dens.

Thank you to all the parents who attended our parent workshop and helped the children with learning to tell the time. It has been an absolute pleasure teaching your children the last academic year and both myself and Mrs Bolton have really enjoyed the children absorbing all the wonderful information they have learned. We hope you have a restful summer holiday.
