Trapping Myths, Tackling Multiplication, and Crafting Clay – A Busy Week in Year 2!

Mr Crombleholme • February 16, 2025

Year 2 have very busy recently. 

In English, they independently written their own ‘defeating the monster’ tales. The children prepared for this by creating their own expanded noun phrases, sentences of three in order to describe the characters in the story.

They have now moved on to instruction writing. The final task in this learning journey is to write instructions on how to trap a mythical creature.


In maths, Year 2 have been learning about multiplication. You should have now received the children’s TTRS passwords.


In R.E., the children have been focused on their unit based around the concept of ‘What do Christians believe God is like?’ They have retold the Parable of the Lost Son and discussed the Christian view of God as forgiving. They role played how they would forgive others and discuss why it is important to forgive others.


In P.E., the class have been playing invasion games, including elements of netball and hockey.


In computing, Year 2 have been working on their programming skills. They have used the bee-bots to do this.


In history, they are enjoying learning about Florence Nightingale.


Whilst in science, the children are coming to the end of their unit on Growth and Survival.


In Art, they have greatly enjoyed working on creating sculpture through various mediums, such as clay.
