YEAR 2 (OAK)
Teachers: Mrs Lopez and Mrs Strange
Welcome to Year 2 Oak Class. In our class, we enjoy our learning in all areas of the curriculum. Our aim is for each child to reach their potential.
Our morning work is focussed on English – reading, writing, spelling and phonics – and Maths.
In the afternoons, we use these skills and those specific to the subject in other curriculum areas. We learn in different ways, with a partner, in a group as well as working independently.
We aim to make our learning exciting with whole school events, class WOWs, trips and using our outside school environment.

Art Week
The children made some wonderful art during Art Week which was displayed at our Art Exhibition in June.
Victorian Workshop
In February, Year Two welcomed a visitor from the museum who came to share artefacts from over 100 years ago with them. They discussed how the objects had changed and developed over the years. They then we all had a go at washing clothes like they used to, using carbolic soap, a grater and a posser. It was hard work!
Antarctica WOW Day
Year Two left a bright Autumnal day to head for the colder realms of the Antarctica to look for penguins in October. Once they had received their ticket and itinerary for their journey they plotted their route on a world map. They checked the weather forecast for the day so that they could pack their rucksacks with all the equipment they might need. As they needed somewhere to stay, they worked in groups to build igloos. It took a great deal of perseverance as they kept falling down! Finally, they experimented with ice imagining what the sea must be like on the edge of Antarctica.
