Life in Year 2


Daily Routines:
Every morning we come in through the playground door and put our book bags in the boxes for our tables. Then we go to the cloakroom and hang up our coats. Make sure you use the little hooks near the labels otherwise your coat might fall on the floor!
After we've sorted our bag and coat, we get our spelling books out and then line up for assembly.
Miss Levitt will do the register and we use the language of the week to let her know we are here.

Assemblies: 

We have assembly every morning apart from Friday. Sometimes we have Kid's Club, some times we have Freedom Church, sometimes Mr Pattison's Mum and Dad do the assembly!
On Fridays we have Talent Assembly. We sing songs like Jolene and Miss Green prays with us. We have Hero of the Week and then we do certificates. There are PE, Literacy, Maths and Golden table! If you get the Golden Table certificate you choose a friend to sit with you during lunch next week!!
We have it in the morning. We sing and say prayers. Ruby and Laura
We line up sit down then we sing. JJ and Rahaf
Phonics   
In phonics we have lots of fun. Ruby and Laura
At phonics you get to read funny books and you get to read stories and you get to play phonic bingo. Payton

Lessons:
We have literacy and maths every morning. We work on writing lots of different things like stories, reports and poems. We also learn lots about grammar. Did you know if a word ends in 's' it means plural - that means more than one!!
Literacy is amazing because  you get to write a story. You get to write sentences and its really fun .  It is  fun because you get to write.  Daisy 
We also do lots of maths to help us with our times tables and telling the time. We also learn how to count and how to tell which numbers are bigger or smaller. We even use fancy maths symbols like < > = 
In Maths, we do fractions and add and times and subtraction and division  and money. Megan and Riley
In the afternoon we do our theme lessons. this year we have done Who Are the Heroes?, Can I be a Creator, Travel in a Time Machine, Island Survival and Can I be a Builder? We go on school trips to Go Ape, Eureka and Thackray Medical Museum. If we don't go on a strip we do something extra special in school like the time Miss Levitt did Pet Week and we had lots of different pets including Bernie the Border Terrier!

We have covered different themes called Who are the Heros?, Go Global!, Can I be a Creator?, Can I be a Builder? All Around the World in a Time Machine and Island Survival!.

We do lots of work for Island Survival. We have lots of time to write because break is at quarter to eleven. Our last theme was around the world in a time machine We learnt about The great fire of London was real, all the houses fell down because it was wood. It was very bad because wood is not strong. Victor and Kailyn

Playtimes:
Playtimes are a bit different for year 2 children. We have jobs to help the adults. Some people do fruit. This means taking out the fruit for the other children, some children do toys. This means putting out the toys and putting them away at the end of the day.
At playtime we play with are fun toys like skipping ropes and body balls. Megan and Riley
