Year 2 Newsletter

Year 2 have had a great start back to school. We are all really enjoying being back together and we have certainly been very busy!

As part of our transition back to school we have been looking at the 5 Ways to Wellbeing - connection, keeping active, taking notice, keep learning and giving. We have danced in our classrooms, gone for a walk around the school and even given each other massages. 

 

In this week's topic lesson we learnt all about castle attacks. We started by discussing the different castle defences. We read the statement: ‘Castles are too well defended. There is no point attacking them.’ We thought about whether we agreed or disagreed and discussed in our trios. We then learnt about the different forms of castle attacks.

We brought our learning to life and acted out the different forms of castle defences and attacks outside. Warhol put up a mighty castle defence with a portcullis, boiling water, bow and arrows, battlements and a drawbridge. Kusama class attacked by mining under the castle walls, launching heavy stones with trebuchets and using a battering ram to break through the castle walls. Then it was Warhol’s turn to attack and Kusama defended their castle. It was a well fought battle with only a few casualties…

Until next time...
