This half term we are learning all about Design and Technology and we will be sewing our own hand puppet! We are very excited to get going. This week, we have learnt how to thread a needle and tie a knot. This took great resilience and perseverance but everybody did a brilliant job.

Once the needle was threaded, we began to sew. We practised  both the overstitch and the running stitch and we were all very proud of ourselves!

Help at home by practising threading a needle and tying a knot.

In Geography lessons, over the last few weeks, Year 2 have learnt lots about about Kenya in Africa. We have looked closely at the similarities and differences between Kenya and England and Nairobi and Leeds.

The children were able to name physical and human geography in both Nairobi and Leeds.

In writing, we have looked at features of reports and  planned our own report about Nairobi. Next week, we will write our reports all about Kenya and Nairobi.

Help at home by asking your child some facts about Nairobi.

Can they name some features of a report?

In Year 2, over the next few weeks, we will be reading The Worst Witch, by Jill Murphy. We will link reading and writing learning with it too, as well as enjoying immersing ourselves in the story. We already love Mildred and her cat!

Help at home by talking about what has happened so far.
