Autumn 2023
We made an absolutely fabulous start to life in Year 2 - settling in quickly and learning all about our 3 golden rules - being resposible, being resilient and being respectful. Every day, we try our very best to follow these rules, in everything that we do.
Our Autumn term started with an art unit called - Colour Chaos. We learned many different painting skills by looking at the artists - Piet Mandrian, Mark Rothko, Paul Klee and Wassily Kandinsky. We learned all about using different primary colours, tones, tints, warm and cool colours and the importance of evaluating our work and using our new skills to create a masterpiece.
In our English lessons, we learned to write sentences using full stops and capital letters and began to think about using question marks and exclamation marks too. Together, we read A Squash and A Squeeze and The Great Kapok Tree. We love reading!
Our Maths lessons have included a 'Flashback 4' quiz to check our prior learning and then we have really understood place value in 2-digit numbers. We can use a number line, order numbers and compare numbers too. As Oliver says, we are 'smashing our maths work!'
