Year 2

Masha and the Firebird

The story of Masha and the Firebird inspired Year 2’s Autumn Term of creative learning and certainly inspired their creativity!

Fire

Exploding flames burning the air vermilion crimson colours together melting the ground with flames

Water

Seaweed swaying softly, roaring waves, waves crashing angrily, pouring smoothly, flooding land, splashing, Sapphire-royal blue, moving all the time.

Sponsored walk for Ugandan charity

In early spring Year 2 pupils took part in a sponsored walk in support of the Ssamba Foundation, a humanitarian charity based in Uganda. Mrs Veerapen’s son volunteered for the charity and our girls raised more than £1,700 to support a project to help farmers’ children access education at school.

Yum! Yum! Let’s learn about food

Year 2’s food-themed topic helped the girls to learn all about food. The story of The Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch was the jumping off point for lots of wonderful work.

They created these beautiful lighthouse seascapes.

Class iPads were used to add speech bubbles to pictures of the girls pretending to be seagulls on the lookout for the lighthouse keeper’s lunch.

Busy, buzzy bees!

Summer Term saw the girls learn all about bees.

Sewing skills were put into practice with handmade textile bees.

Parents were treated to a special assembly where the girls dressed as their favourite piece of fruit and shared their fun food facts.

These bee costumes were used to create fantastic Fathers Day cards.

The girls enjoyed a visit from a bee keeper and learnt about the hives and habitat of the bee.

A trip to Kew Gardens was full of bee friendly flowers!
