Rail Safety Assembly

This morning we had a visit from Jamie from Network rail, and he taught us all about railway safety to link to our PSHCE curriculum. We learnt lots of amazing facts about how to keep ourselves safe around the railways and that one of their trains weighs more than 80 elephants!

What an amazing start to the new half-term we have had! As part of our history work on Remembrance, we visited The Tank Museum in Bovington. We explored the tanks and looked at different uniforms. We went inside a real WW1 tank to see the cramped conditions. We even experienced what life was like in the trenches for a soldier. We learnt lots and had a great day. The staff at the museum also commented on how knowledgeable and polite the children were. For even more pictures, take a look at the Gallery.

Dishes and Domes

In English, we have been learning about the features of instructions. In order to be able to write our own instructions, we went to the hall to play a game of 'dishes and domes'. We then came back to the classroom to write a full set of instructions on how to play the game, ensuring to include all the necessary features such as imperative verbs, numbered steps and a 'you will need' section.

Maths

In Maths this week we have been thinking about other ways that we can represent and prove our answers to subtraction number sentences. We have been learning how to accurately draw number lines to help us to solve subtraction questions, and thinking hard about counting backwards in ones.

National Poetry Day 

To celebrate National Poetry Day we took part in an assembly run by Michael Rosen and the Hot Poets. This years theme is 'wonder' so we all had a good think about what that means to us. The children contributed brilliant ideas and Michael Rosen himself gave us a shout out! Well done Year two!

Arts Week 2026

To celebrate Arts week this year, we have been looking at the work of Hernando Ruiz Ocampo from the Philippines. As this year's theme is 'cultural connections', each class is researching and being inspired by an artist from a country of one of our students in our school. Using watercolours, we created vibrant and carefully painted artworks that everyone felt proud of. 

Friday 18th September

In Geography, we went on a walk around the area surrounding our school to look for human and physical features. Everyone enjoyed finding lots of different features, including a bridge, lots of trees and pavements. We sorted these into human and physical features in our geography books when we got back.

This week, Mr Bourne has been teaching us how to dribble different balls with control. We tried hard to use the equipment carefully and manoeuvre our balls around obstacles. Also, congratulations to Freya in Maple Class who is our new Eco Council Representative.

Welcome Back!

Maple Class had a fantastic first day! After settling in nicely at the start of the day, we then wrote about all the imaginary things that we didn't do during our summer holidays. For example, we didn't fly a spaceship to the moon! In the afternoon, we had a lovely art lesson where we investigated how maps can be real or imaginary and compared features of maps as artworks. The children then created their own maps of their journey from home to school using oil pastels. A great start to the week. Well done Maple Class.
