Year 2 are enjoying their Discovery Learning sessions where they can choose their activity. Each activity builds on learning from the classroom lessons and allows the children to further explore and challenge themselves. #imagination #generalisation

Grace investigated parts of the UK she was familiar with - she looked carefully at her old school and went on to create her own map with a key.
Asking questions and finding the answers.

Solving the same question using different strategies and resources as we investigate #alternativeperspectives in our learning is a valuable way to challenge ourselves.
In Year 2, we have been looking at different ways to add to the next ten.

‘I can see things differently and show it in my own way!’

We have been using our #abstraction skills when looking at maps and our map work in year 2.

#selfregulation is such a hard skill but so important in our growth and learning.

'To look back on our learning and think about how to improve and self correct.'

So proud of our mathematicians!

In Year 2 we are using #generalisation - using what we already know to help us with our learning.
We used the number facts we know to help us with new number facts.
Great work Year 2!

We are learning about life cycles in Year 2. Using our what we know about some life cycles and applying it to other life cycles as we link our learning to animal groups and our previous lessons on adult and offsprings.

Year 2 have been finding out about Katie Morag in their lessons and have been #connectionfinding linking their learning in English to their learning about countries and continents:

"I think she is Scottish because she has a kilt on."

We have been using our HPL #generalisation skills to apply prior knowledge to new information.

'I can remember doing this or seeing this before.'

We reviewed our learning of continents from Year 1 and added to it with more information. Excellent work Year 2!

We love celebrating the many languages we speak in Year 2!
How many languages can you say ‘Hello’ in?

We were very grateful to Anisa Al Raissi for joining our google meet last Thursday! She was very kind to answer all of our questions and telling us all about her experience 😍😍

[BSM Year 2 @BSMuscatY2]

Science can be so much fun! Year 2 have been learning about plants. Here are some of their beautiful posters explaining all the different ways that can transport a seed into a new location. 😍👏

[BSM Year 2 @BSMuscatY2]

Learning about Sir David Attenborough, who is an English broadcaster and a natural historian, Year 2 made their own posters after researching about different animals! Take a look at how fantastic and artistic they have been 😍🌟

[BSM Year 2 @BSMuscatY2]

Year 2 have always been creative! Look at what they made from some card, recycled tubes, bottle tops and some string! 😍👏

A Tiger Puppet! 🐅

Don't you just love it when children get those light bulb moments! Well that was happening all over Year 2 last week while using a range of maths manipulatives to support learning about addition! @BSMuscatHeadPri @BSMuscatY2

[BSM Year 2 @BSMuscatY2]

From the engineering room to chromatography and exploring the world to being writer's, our Year 2 children have loved getting involved in Discovery Learning. We can't wait for next week! @BSMuscatY2 @HPLedu @BSMuscatHeadPri

[BSM Year 2 @BSMuscatY2]

What a way to end our unit on 'The Day the Crayons Quit'. To hear our students saying that this was the best day ever was just fantastic. We explored every corner of the curriculum through the book and ended by welcoming our crayons back! @BSMuscatY2 @BSMuscatHeadPri
