Pack Your Bag, You’re Going to the Moon!
Imagine you are going on a space mission to the Moon.
What would you need to take with you?
How would you show people what it was like?
Draw and label all the items you would take with you on your space mission.
You are only allowed 10 things, so make sure they are worth taking.
Year 2 holiday spring 2
This half term our Learning Journey has taken us all over the World.
Through Literacy we have developed our story writing skills by writing
in first person as a little robin. Then we started our journey by
migrating to another place and finally back home.
Look at some of our amazing writing.

Through our Geography topic we went on a voyage to discover the ‘New World’ with Christopher Columbus.
Just like Christopher Columbus our ships entered a severe storm.

Look at these.
Christopher Columbus was very brave.

Thank you for all the holiday homework it was fantastic!
In our topic this half term we have been looking at collage. We represented the Great Fire of London using the skills that we have learnt. We have been reading non-fiction texts about the Great Fire of London. We have learnt lots of facts about the event and have used drama to act out the main events of the blaze. We will be using this to write our own diary entry.
This week Year 2 have visited the Remembrance space to reflect and remember. From this we made a poppy collage and have made remembrance day poems.
Just a reminder that the children can come and borrow a library book on a Monday or Tuesday lunchtime. Mathletics club is still available to children who want to improve their maths skills on a Wednesday lunchtime.
Thank you for your continued support!
