In Science, we continued to learn about the four seasons. This week, we focused on summer and autumn. We compared the daylight hours in each season and we discovered that the season summer has longer daylight hours because it is lighter for longer.

This week in history, we created our own timeline! We ordered events to show when different significant figures were born and when they died.

After, we wrote down facts about each significant individual.

Yesterday in DT, we started to make our moon buggies. We measured our dowel and then cut it using a saw. After, we cut out our net and stuck it together.

We had lots of fun today in our Science lesson finding different mini-beasts in their micro-habitats. We then put our results into a tally chart to show how many mini-beasts we found on the playground!

Today in English, Year 2 were looking at the features of a diary entry. We used post- it notes to help us identify the features in our model text.

Today in art, we started to plan an animal to make into a sculpture. The animal we designed had to live and survive in a specific habitat e.g. grassland, desert, polar, rainforest or ocean.

Last week in PSHE, we looked at how we could stay safe within our households. We decided if a situation was safe or unsafe. When it was unsafe, we discussed how we could keep ourselves safe to avoid being in danger.

[Year2Beck @BeckYear2]

This week in Science, we started to learn about habitats and what they are. We focused on two different habitats including polar and ocean habitats. The children learnt what animals lived in each of the habitats and how the animals adapted so they could survive.

In RE, we learnt about the story 'The Good Samaritan'. We discussed what the message of the story was for Christians and we drew a picture of an important part from the story.

Yesterday in DT, we made our animal enclosures that we had designed. We had to ensure the animal enclosures were freestanding so we used lots of skills to ensure the enclosure could stand on its own.

For our 10 minute art activities, we have continued to make stronger, bolder drawings! This week, we drew onto a map and we tried really hard to make sure our drawings stood out.
