Year 2 Thornhill

But at least the rain is good for plants! Today we learnt all about what plants need to survive and grow healthily with the help of Eric Carle. Here we are, using trio talk to discuss what we know. We loved this book!

Come back sunshine!! Here are some pictures of @year2tps enjoying our mini beast hunting last week. We learnt all about why these tiny creatures are real life, mini heroes!

@year2tps Hurray! Welcome back Year 2!

Phew! @year2tps are so pleased to be able to share our adventures with you again on this platform. There will be more pictures and video clips next week. For now, head over to our Google Classroom to see what we did on our trip. Happy Weekend everyone! @ThornhillPS 💚

Did you know… on our recent school trip, the ranger leading the den building, commented on how well the children worked together? ❤️ We have done so much team building this year as we know team work makes the dream work! Great job @year2tps 💚💚💚

At the end of our last topic we had some wonderful visitors come in to tell us about places where they have lived. We are so grateful to you for giving up your time to help us to learn in a real and meaningful way. We all loved your talks. Thank you. 💚👏💚

Here is just some of the ways we have practised our marvellous maths skills in @year2tps

Some more gorgeous garden pictures from @year2tps 💚

Recently we have been learning about countries around the world. For Australia week we loved making fairy bread and drawing some top koala-ty creatures (see what we did there?!!) 😂👌💚

Have you heard of Loose Parts Play? Here @year2tps we use loose parts for lots of things. We use them in our role play, in our construction, for our problem solving and for creative work. Here is some of our loose parts art work. 💚

We absolutely love working outside. Here are a few pictures of some of our recent work. Gardening, problem solving, directions and observational drawing to name but a few of the many skills we have been developing here in @year2tps. 💚

We love visiting the Computer Room and practising our I.C.T skills. Here we are, creating characters in the style of the amazing Todd Parr 🌟 and discovering all the ways that we are unique ⭐️

@year2tps have been giving racism the red card today!

#year2tps celebrating #ShwmaeSumae23

Today #year2tps had a visit from PC Rhys. We listened carefully to his important messages about feeling safe and what to do if we have worries. #hci

Please remember to return any Cauliflower Card forms if you wish to purchase them, tomorrow. Thank you.

#year2tps have also been writing words of encouragement for Humpty. We read ‘After the Fall’ together and loved it. We wanted him to know he can get back up and climb that wall again. Here are some of our ideas. #LLC #HCI

#year2tps are learning the importance of having a growth mindset. We are taking part in activities to help develop our resilience and are working in partners to help build our self esteem. #H&W #HCI We believe in the power of yet!

We have had another lovely week in Year 2 this week…

#year2tps are working very hard in our #LLC tasks this morning. Colourful high frequency words, reading stories, writing about feelings, learning about synonyms….Wow, we are working hard!
