This week we have been designing, making and evaluating our own healthy pizzas for Science and Design and Technology! We have been investigating the question: can food be healthy and attractive to children?
We have learnt how to chop vegetables, grate cheese and spread puree. Most of us loved our pizzas, so the answer to our question was YES! We had great fun learning 🙂
Today Year 2 visited the Singh Sabha Gurdwara. We had great fun learning all about Sikhism and how Sikhs pray. Some of our children also shared their own knowledge of their religion – Sonjo even played the drums in front of us all!
Many of us had a delicious lunch and snacks too! We would like to thank the volunteers at the Gurdwara for their hospitality. All the children were role models and were very respectful.
This week Year 2 went on a welly walk to Coundon Wedge to look for signs of autumn. We saw lots of beautiful leaves that had fallen from the trees, bare branches, a rushing river and mushrooms growing on logs, among many other things. We had a great time and were role models for our school when walking to and from the wedge.
Today Year 2 made some fruit kebabs in our Science lessons. We have been learning all about how to stay healthy, including healthy diets. We loved the delicious fruit kebabs, and it was great fun making them!
Year 2 had an amazing day at Cadbury’s World where we learnt about how chocolate was made . We then had a very exciting tour of the exhibition. Our favourite activities included writing with chocolate, tempering chocolate and eating chocolate! The Cadbury’s bean car ride was also super exciting and the 4D cinema made us think we were on a roller coaster! Thank you to all of Year 2 for displaying brilliant behaviour – we are so proud of you all!
This week, Year 2 enjoyed riding our bikes and scooters for Wheels Day! We were experimenting to see what the effect of exercise is on our bodies. We thought carefully about our heart rates, muscles, breathing and pulse. It was great fun!
We hope all new Year 2 children have had a fantastic first day back at school after the summer holidays and have settled into their classes well!

This week Year 2 have been learning all about Romania. We have learnt many facts about the country. We also learnt some traditional songs and dances.
We designed and painted some wooden spoons, replicating Romanian folk art and crafts. We enjoyed tasting lots of different types of Romanian food such as Sarmale (cabbage rolls) and various pastries and other snacks. We also wrote a postcard, imagining we had been to Romania for our holidays. It was great fun learning how to say some basic Romanian phrases and how to count to 10. What a great week ????
Year 2 would also like to thank a parent from Year 3 (Alessia’s mum) who cooked the cabbage rolls for us! They were super tasty, and we really appreciate the experience of tasting homemade Romanian food. Thank you!
Year 2 had the best WOW day today! We have really enjoyed learning about The Great Fire of London! Today, we participated in lots of exciting activities such as: baking bread, singing songs, using clay, playing games and quizzes using technology and even watching our own Tudor houses set fire on the playground! We all looked fantastic in our costumes too!
