Year 2 Photography

As part of our computing unit 'We Are Photographers' we are learning about how to take digital photos, using the rule of thirds. We are learning about different ways of editing photos digitally, such as cropping and changing light and colour saturation.

Year 2 Geography

As part of our topic about London, we have been identifying the 4 UK capitals and making comparisons between them. We looked at the distance between London and the other three capital cities of Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast. We discovered that Cardiff, which is the capital of Wales, is the closest UK capital city to London. We also looked at the population of each capital city and discovered that London, with a population of almost 9 million, has a significantly higher population than the other three capitals put together! We think this might be because London is built on much flatter land!

Year 2 Sleepover 2023

As part of our learning for the topic 'Journey Into The Night', year 2 held our annual sleepover at school. The night was filled with fun activities. These included learning how to use sparklers safely, owl crafts, star gazing and hot chocolate and cookies. The children had a fun night and (most) slept soundly until the morning when they had breakfast and packed up ready to finish their weekend at home!
