RE
In RE, we have been looking at caring for God's creation. One way we can do this is through reducing, reusing and recycling. Today Year 2 (with some fabulous assistants from y6!)have been making robots out of rubbish, what a creative way to reuse things!
Art
This week in art, Year 2 got outside and were making their own artwork inspired by Alice Fox.
African dance
Yesterday, in celebration of Black History Month, we were lucky to have a go at trying some African dance. The children learnt about how dance is used as a celebration in Africa, before having a go and then pretending to be some African animals. Year 2 had lots of fun!
RE
On Friday, Year 2 had a visit to church, where Father Ian very kindly taught us all about Baptism. The children were explained the different symbols of baptism with his "bag of Baptism goodies" and their importance. They learned about the water, oil, white garment and the candle. At the end Father Ian even joined us for a quick sing to Peace Perfect Peace. Thank you Father Ian for taking out the time to help us learn about Baptism!
Prayer and Liturgy
Year 2 did an AMAZING job leading assembly on Friday! They retold "The Peace Book" incredibly. Well done Year2 for all your hard work!
Science
This week in science, Year 2 have recapped the 6 life processes and sorted items based on if they were alive, no longer alive or never alive. It sparked some interesting discussions about how things are made and what they are made out of! They created actions to help them to remember the 6 life processes. They are: movement, growth, sensitivity, reproduction, excretion and nutrition... I wonder which you can spot in the pictures!
Computing
Year 2 have been exploring different tools on the computers. They can label the different parts of a computer and then made use of them to create some impressive pictures!
