Year 2 Learning Updates

Animal Poetry

Term 1, Week 4/5

In English we have been learning about rhyming words. We looked at the spelling patterns of words that rhyme and discuss how sometimes they do not have similar spellings but the sound is always the same. 

To create our own animal poems, we thought of rhyming words to match a range of animal names. We then wrote our own animal poems using some of the rhyming words that we had collected.

Tints and Shades

Term 1 Art lessons

During our art lessons we have been learning about tints and shades. The children have experimented by adding white to a base colour to create tints and then adding black to a base colour in order to create shades. 

They produced some beautiful 'sky' themed artwork using the techniques that they had learnt.

Meesha Makes Friends

This term our key text in Meesha Makes Friends by Tom Percival. The children have enjoyed looking at and discussing this text already. It is all about a young girl who finds making new friends challenging. It introduces a range of different feelings and emotions that we have discussed during our English and PSHE lessons. We have also talked about how we could help to managed the feelings that Meesha has throughout the story.
