Spring Term 2022

Circus Skills

Another busy term in Year two! It started with another fantastic Circus week with Circus Steve and his Shooting Stars Circus.

The children enjoyed learning new skills and being able to balance on beams, spin plates and juggle!

Puppets

During Circus Week the children made their own puppet. They were all based on a character that you might meet in a circus. They started by choosing the materials they would like to use, then using these to create their design. They all had a practise go at sewing before cutting out the front and back of their puppet and joining them with their beautiful stitching. They finished off by decorating it according to their plan, and some of them decided to make a small change, which they felt would improve their finished product.

The Great Fire of London

In our writing topic, Year 2 have loved finding out all about the Great Fire of London!

They have enjoyed learning all about it through acting, singing songs about it and writing a fantastic newspaper report about the terrifying events.

In computing this term the children have been learning to use PowerPoint to present their Great Fire of London facts.

They found and added pictures to each slide before using animation to bring their slides to life.

Art Week

In Art Week, we were lucky enough to be visited by some local artists; My Dog Sighs and Southsea Zoo!

The children absolutely loved learning about how to draw and did some fantastic work replicating the artists’ work!

Science

The children have really enjoyed our Science topic this term and did a fantastic job of carrying out investigations of different materials!

They particularly enjoyed carrying out a fair test to see which material was the most absorbent!
