It has been fun-filled weeks with the topic ’All About Me’ as the children explored many aspects of themselves.
They started with learning about their body parts, then went on to learn about their families where the children made family portraits. They looked at their family photos and spoke in length about their families. We had a look at our homes and all the different parts of the house.
It was then own to their emotions. Am I feeling sad, or happy or excited? The children explored their emotions through many creative art activities such as painting, cutting, sticking and drawing. The children learnt about shapes. This week the children looked at a triangle and items that were triangular shaped.

Storytelling is at the heart of everything we do, and it extends far beyond literacy. It is transdisciplinary, meaning children naturally integrate their knowledge of phonics into storytelling, create maths stories, and weave in elements of science, curiosity, and their understanding of the world.
This term, Year 2 have been learning about many interesting people in our ‘What makes someone inspirational?' Topic. They have explored space pioneers, technology forerunners, civil right activists, inventors and many other inspiring individuals.
