Summer Term 2026
WC: 27.05.26 - Monday - Wednesday - Mrs Barratt
A brilliant week in Year 2.
In English, we completed our Big Write- letter to Mr Clay explaining what happened to us and how insanely sorry we are! There are some fantastic letters- we are so impressed!
In Maths, we have continued to tell the time. We used the clocks to tell the time to the hour and had to draw the hands on accurately too. We have worked so hard but have done so well.
In Geography, we looked at the temperature in the polar regions and then compared it to the UK. It is so cold at the poles in both Summer and Winter.
On Tuesday afternoon, we went to the Sleafordian depo in Sleaford. We went on the executive bus (These are lovely!), we went through the bus wash. We also looked inside different buses and even got to see the engine. We made our own junior bus licenses too. We had so much fun.
On Wednesday, we had Art with Mrs Freeman and PE with Miss Sewards.
Thursday and Friday - Miss Cragg
The sunshine has enhanced our abilities this week, what wonderful work we have been doing! In Maths Year 2 have continued to knock our socks off with their time telling abilities, jaws on floors at some of the effort that is being put into learning telling the time to 5 minutes. We couldnt be prouder of how hard they are working to understand some really tricky concepts.
In English we have started our new book, 'The Crows Tale'. We had an experience day watching time lapse videos of snowy woodland scenes as well as discussing the adaptations of animals to cope with low winter temperatures. We then had two more days of sentence stacking, writing about the inner thoughts of the animals, about their perilous journey as well as positive statements using repetition, adverbial phrases, noun phrases, fronted adverbials as well as question and exclamation marks.
In our PE lesson we continued to learn about striking and fielding balls, building up to a rounders game and in Science we began our new topic learning about materials by squashing, stretching, twisting and bending. Have a super weekend!

We hope you had the best Easter holidays and a well earnt rest.
A great start to the week in Year 2.
In English, we have continued writing our letter back to the crayons promising not to upset them again. In Maths, we are still learning to tell the time. We have been practising telling the time to the hour, half past, quarter to and past as well. We have worked so hard learning the time.
In Geography, we looked at the weather in countries close to the equator and compared these to the UK.
In Computing, we have been looking at algorithms again. We designed our own mat and used beebots and instructions to guide them to the next location- we even added in obstacles to work around!
On Wednesday, we had Art with Mrs Freeman and PE with Miss Sewards.
Thursday & Friday - Miss Cragg
Welcome back! Hopefully you are all suitably chocolate filled and raring to go for the Summer 1 term.
In English we have been planning ready to start our next Big Write, a persuasive letter to Mr Clay all about a terrible calamity that has befallen us and something in our possession. We have had wild and wonderful ideas about school uniform stealing aliens and rainbows dousing us in colour. We can't wait to read the finished products next week!
In Maths we have continued to learn about time, telling the time past and to the next hour. We are getting better every lesson at distinguishing between past and to, counting in 5's and remembering where the hour hand needs to be.
In PE we started a new unit working as a team in striking and fielding games and enjoyed the Holi festival celebrations with our multi-coloured paint packets.
Have a great weekend recovering from a busy week!
