Shapes

12th January 2025Mrs Lewis

In Year 2 this week we have been learning about the properties of 2D and 3D shapes. We have been using the words sides and vertices when we have been describing shapes and we also practiced making and drawing 2D shapes using a Geoboard.

Can you name the shapes we made?

Bushtucker trial!

12th January 2025Mr Pickering

As part of our hook week, 2P tried a variety of different fruits and vegetables. We described if the food was sour, sweet, bitter or strong. We tried some food that we hadn’t tried before and it certainly made us pull some strange faces!

It’s been lovely to see everyone back in F1 this week, and how nicely our early starters have slotted in, making lots of new friends. We’ve had lots of fun exploring the snow, role play and working on our fine/gross motor skills.

Personal Timelines

10th January 2025Joshua Meade

We looked at some adorable photos of our crew as toddlers and babies. The children spoke about what they couldn’t do but can do now as a child. Having met a real life baby and toddler this week they came up with really good comparisons. #LovePlover
