Year 2 What We Are Learning.

                                   

   Literacy

This week in English, the children have been busy

 transforming into the characters Gala and Frag! 

They stepped into their shoes and wrote imaginative 

letters from their perspectives, showcasing creativity.

 As part of our chocolate-themed adventure, we also 

took a trip to Lidl to buy chocolate ingredients. Back 

in the classroom, the children became chocolatiers—making 

their own delicious truffles and even creating their very own

 chocolate planets. It’s been a fantastic week of storytelling, 

hands-on learning, and plenty of sweet fun!

Maths: Subtraction

This week in Maths, Year 2 have been working brilliantly 

on addition and subtraction with exchange! The children 

practised laying out their numbers carefully in columns and 

learned how to carry over when adding digits that make more 

than ten. We were so impressed with how they remembered 

to put the carried number in the right place and double checked

 their answers. It’s been lovely to see their confidence grow as 

they tackled trickier sums with such enthusiasm. Well done, Year 2

                                            

RE

This week in RE, we continued our learning about influential 

religious figures. We focused on Siddhartha Gautama, 

a royal prince born over 2,500 years ago, who became known

 as the Buddha after discovering a new way of understanding 

the world. We learned about some of the Buddha’s important 

teachings, including the Eightfold Path, a guide people can 

follow to help end suffering. One of the key teachings we

 explored was the importance of being mindful. To help us reflect 

on this, we took part in mindfulness colouring and worked together 

to create a beautiful, large class picture of the Buddha.
