During PE, we have been concentrating on Fundamentals. We have learnt how to move around safely looking for spaces to move into. We have also been learning how to jump and land properly...we've even learnt how to hopscotch!

Such a wonderful session in the forest...and the weather was kind to us!
Year 2 Fieldwork : Urban and Rural Locations
Date: 27th Mar 2024 @ 5:39pm
Today, year 2 completed their Geography unit by spending the day working geographically in two contrasting locations on the Wirral Peninsula. Firstly, we visited Oxton village and recorded the human and physical features that we could see, made a tally chart of these and played eye spy! We had some very amused passers-by! We then continued on to our second location of Thurstaston coast. Here we repeated the earlier tasks, including some sketching and a ranger led walk. We had a fantastic day and I'm sure we will all sleep well tonight - I think it's safe to say that we have some brilliant geographers amongst us in Year 2. Well done everyone.

Yesterday we had an NSPCC workshop in class. We learnt some really valuable information.
NSPCC supports children to help them understand that abuse is never their fault, and that they have the right to be safe.
With the help of a mascot Buddy, the Speak out Stay safe programme covers topics like bullying and abuse - without using any scary words or adult language.
Children learn about the different types of abuse in a child-friendly and age appropriate way, so they can get help if or when they need it. It helps them identify safe adults they can talk to if they're ever worried about themselves or a friend. And they learnt about Childline, and how it can support them.
The children listened really well and impressed the visitors with how much information they learnt during the session! Well done 2MJ.
Year 2 - Woodlice Investigation
Date: 10th Nov 2023 @ 12:51pm
In science, the children have been learning about microhabitats.
For our investigation, the children had to find out what type of microhabitat woodlice would prefer.
3 types of micrhabitats in the investigation:
- Wet leaves and stones (damp and dark)
- Wet sand (damp and light)
- Dry stones (dry and dark)
The children places the woodlice in the centre of the box with the three different types of microhabitats and observed where they would go. The children counted how many woodlice were in each microhabitat after 1, 2 and 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, the children found out that the woodlice preferred to be in wet leaves and stones because the conditions were damp and dark.

Today, to honour our armed forces, we created poppies using plastic bottles and acrylic paint. We discussed that poppies have been a symbol of the First World War since the 1920's and the red of the poppies symbolises hope. Our Poppies are going on display at St. Luke's Church (bombed out church), in Liverpool, over the weekend.
