Year 2 had an amazing day celebrating books. We read books, talked about books, guessed which adjectives everyone in our class was dressed up as, decorated potatoes with Year 5/6 CB and then designed book covers.
It was such a fun day.

It was such a fun day.
Today, Stibbard was overrun with some amazing adjective costumes to celebrate World Book Day. One of the activities on offer was to decorate a potato. Year 2 and Year 5/6 CB worked together to create fun designs and did a fantastic job. We all had lots of book fun and learned lots of new adjectives.
This half-term, Year 2 explored the architecture of some famous buildings around the world. They then designed and made their buildings according to their own criteria. All of the children worked extremely hard and had to problem solve when something on their structure didn’t quite work. They worked well in pairs and really helped each other out. Once all the buildings were completed, they held a mini gallery and evaluated someone else’s work. Well done!
Year 2 have sewn and decorated these amazing key rings. They chose a shape, planned their design and then sewed them using a running stitch. We were so lucky to have some wonderful parent / grandparent helpers to support the children.
Well Done Year 2
Y2 had a fun afternoon programming our new Beebots. They chose a start and an end point, working out the steps the Beebot would need to take on its journey. If the Beebot took a wrong turn, they reprogrammed (debugged) the Beebot to reach its final destination.
On Monday, Year 2 had in a child’s words, “The best RE Day ever!” We explored the big question: Why Christmas Matters to Christians? They retold the Nativity using finger puppets and imagined what each character would be thinking or saying to each other. They discovered how other countries celebrate Christmas. In the afternoon, they made Christingles and found out what each part of the Christingle means to Christian’s.
The children have been busy learning all about 2D and 3D Shapes and applying their knowledge to create patterns and sort the shapes using different criteria. They are also enjoying using a computer programme to create pictograms from tally charts. The class showed off their knowledge of what can and cannot be recycled.
They are also working very hard to explore our value of Responsibility this term.
Year 2 have been incredibly busy this week. They have explored balancing in PE; used chrome books to begin typing onto Google documents; retold the key events of The Great Fire of London; assessed the suitability of different materials and had an exciting trip to Holt Country Park and watched a musical adaptation of the story of Izzy Gizmo performed by The Britten Sinfonia.
Well Done to everyone on their hard work this week.
Year 2 had a fabulous morning building shelters and hunting for mini beasts. We even spotted some Great Crested Newts.
In the afternoon, we went to The Auden Theatre and watched a performance of Izzy Gizmo with a mini orchestra. Y2 were amazing and I was really proud of how well they represented our school.
