Sports Day
Year 2 enjoyed a fantastic sports day. Children had the opportunity to participate in a range of fun sports activities. Children proudly participated in a range of races for their individual classes competing against the other year 2 classes. Most importantly, it was the taking part that counted and all children appreciated the whole experience.

Trip visits
Year 2 had the opportunity to learn about insects in the Botanical Gardens, they listened attentively to the lessons about plants and animals. Children enjoyed learning about different animals at Botanical Gardens. The favourite one was snail Kevin. The lizard was very popular, but not everyone had the courage to touch it.
In ICT, year 2 have been using the laptops to create music. Children have used music chrome to explore and create different types of music through technology. Children have then listened to the work they have created giving feedback about how it made them feel. They then edited ways to improve the music they have created using a variety of IT functions.
