Welcome to the Year 2 Blog
Year 2 had an amazing day at Cadbury’s World where we learnt about how chocolate was made . We then had a very exciting tour of the exhibition. Our favourite activities included writing with chocolate, tempering chocolate and eating chocolate! The Cadbury’s bean car ride was also super exciting and the 4D cinema made us think we were on a roller coaster! Thank you to all of Year 2 for displaying brilliant behaviour – we are so proud of you all!
Sarah from the Dog’s Trust came to school today. She ran an assembly for Y1-Y6 to discuss safety around dogs. She then ran class workshops with pupils from Y3-Y6. She couldn’t bring her real dogs, but she did bring a couple of her cuddly ones.
Today Year 2 enjoyed riding our bikes and scooters for Wheels Day! We were experimenting to see what the effect of exercise is on our bodies. We thought carefully about our heart rates, muscles, breathing and pulse. It was great fun!

Year 2 had a fantastic time last week learning all about Roald Dahl and engaging in many exciting activities based on his books!
In the morning, we made dream catchers just like in the BFG!
In the afternoon, we experimented with sweets like Willy Wonka and even designed and made our own cookies to take home!
After, we experimented with creating new marvellous medicines like George; we watched them fizz, pop and explode!
School Council speeches took place last week and voting took place for today (Monday 18th) from Y2-Y6. The pupils considered carefully who they wanted to represent their class and took part in a class ballot, discussing the value of democracy.

Year 2 London’s Burning WOW day!
Today Year 2 had a super time learning more about the Great Fire of London. We enjoyed baking bread like Thomas Farriner this morning! After that, we recreated the Great Fire by lining up our Tudor houses on the playground in the style of Pudding Lane. These houses were then set on fire! We watched as the fire spread and burnt all the houses down. Throughout the day we also learnt about fire safety and sang songs about London burning. Please take a look at some photos from the day and check out our TEAMS page to see some videos too!
Year 2 trip to Selly Manor
Our Year 2 pupils had an amazing time at Selly Manor Museum, finding out all about how people used to live in 1666. The children were able to look inside a variety of rooms and handle various artefacts from the era. They even took on the roles of famous characters from the period, dressing up and acting out the main events of the Great Fire of London. A very interesting and informative trip!
