This term, Year Two's Design and Technology topic has been 'Puppets'. First, the children made moveable stick puppets which they joined using paper fasteners.Here are some of them:

Next, the children made simple finger puppets with holes for their fingers to wiggle like legs. They designed their character, then added colour and paper decorations.

Beamish Museum Visit

On Tuesday 10th July Year One and Year Two spent a day visiting Beamish Museum. Year Two experienced what it must have been like to be a Victorian schoolchild. They took part in a lesson which covered handwriting, a recitation of a poem and learning times tables. We had great fun and the sun shone all day!

Year Two - Arts Week Activity

Year Two made Victorian samplers for their Arts Week activity. Nature was this year's theme so we included ladybirds, snails, butterflies and flowers in our designs. We had lots of help from our relatives and friends. Thank you!

Making Puppets

In Design Technology this term, Year 2 have been learning about how puppets move and how they are joined. We have made three different kinds - paper fastener, finger and hand puppets. This is how we made our Jumping Jacks.

First, we coloured in all the parts of the puppet.

Next we cut each piece out.

Then, we joined the parts together using paper fasteners.

Finally, we added the stick to the back of the puppet. When you move it up and down, the Jumping Jacks move their arms and legs!

Welcome to Year Two

Welcome to Year Two!

Your children are currently settling well into their new class and I am sure we can look forward to an enjoyable and productive year together.
You may be aware that children have for many years taken SATs at the end of Year Two. The government reviewed this a couple of years ago and introduced different arrangements for KS1 assessment. I’ll make sure you are fully informed of this nearer the time.
Please remember the door is always open if you need to discuss anything with me.
