Year 2 news...
What a week!
It may only be the beginning of November, but Year 2 have begun secret Christmas Production auditions! Not only that we have also started our new Fire Fire topic, had an amazing trip to Birkenhead Fire Station, had a visit from the Anti-Bullying Ambassadors following the whole school performance and studied some challenging Maths. Here are the pictures for you to see for yourselves what a week it has been!
Vehicles
We enjoyed making our Moving Vehicles using axles and wheels. Then we wrote a set of instructions to explain how we made them. I wonder if you could try to make a moving vehicle?
Well Being Day
On Thursday 24th November, we celebrated ‘Well Being Day’. Year groups carried out various activities throughout the day. Some of us had the opportunity to take part in peer massage- this was very relaxing! Others participated in Lego Therapy, which we loved! One class even had a karaoke session- this made us feel GREAT! Thank you Mrs Porter for our wonderful yoga session. It was a relaxing and lovely day at Mersey Park. We loved coming into school in our comfy slippers!
