Project engineers are amazing in year 2!

30th January 2026L Chisholm

As part of our science lessons in ‘Land Ahoy’ we watched a life boat and how it is transported from the garage to the sea.  We decided to design and construct our own boat transporter.  We worked in teams to design what we would build, made a list of what we would need to complete the task then we worked together to build our transporter.  We worked well together discussing our ideas and trialing them then improving them until we were happy with our finished design.  We then let our class mates see our design and showed them how it worked.  It was amazing and we really showed off our engineering skills!

Dancing Explorers!

30th January 2026L Chisholm

In P.E this half term we are exploring dance.  We loved learning about Paddington from Peru and the rainforest he lived in so we decided that our dance theme was going to be about an explorer in the jungle.  We started at home, travelled to the rainforest, set up camp, explored the jungle, made a camp then found a mysterious object.  We used our bodies to show the movement and our faces to show the differing expressions.  We had great fun moving our bodies in different directions and on different levels.

Wonderful writing in year 2!

26th January 2026L Chisholm

This week we received a letter from Aunt Lucy all the way from deepest, darkest Peru and she was asking Paddington all about his time in London and with his new family, the Brown’s.  We (Paddington) planned our letter and made sure we answered all her questions using subordinating conjunctions and adjectives.  I think you will agree that Aunt Lucy is going to be so pleased when she receives our replies!

Perfect Peru Posters!

9th January 2026L Chisholm

In our new theme Paddington’s Passport we have been looking at the country of his birth, Peru.  We decided to make a poster to show the Brown’s and other what Peru is like and why it is so special to Paddington.  I am sure you’ll want to visit Peru too when you see our informative posters!

Year 2 are beat masters!

6th January 2026L Chisholm

We have started our music lessons with Mr. O and we have been looking at quarter and eighth beats.  We kept the rhythm and beat going and stayed away form the naughty beat in our competition.  We have some great skills at keeping time and listening for the different rhythms.

Santa came to visit 2 Blue!

16th December 2025L Chisholm

The big man himself, SANTA, came by to visit 2 blue as he had heard that they have been brilliantly behaved this year.  The children all had a chance to high five and most importantly tell him what they would like for Christmas!

RE day in 2 Blue!

23rd October 2025L Chisholm

We have been learning about the early life of Moses and the importance of the story of the burning bush.  We also looked at the importance of Hanukkah and Passover in Jewish life.

We are going to be the best that we can be!

Michael Jordan

“I can accept failure, everyone fails at something, but I can’t accept not trying”

We have started our new Learning Means The World theme ‘Zero to Hero’ and one of the first people we have looked at is Michael Jordan.  We found out that he was turned away from basketball but because he loved the sport he kept trying and trying until he was successful.  We then decided that we needed to be a bit like Michael and keep trying our best.  We then went outside and tried to shhot some hoops.  We found that we got better the more we practiced.  We then found out that Nike thought he was that inspirational that they named some sports shoes after him! We decided to design our own ‘Air Jordan’s’.

Jolly Jumpers in year 2!

17th October 2025L Chisholm

In our P.E sessions we have been looking at the skill of jumping and that there are many different ways to jump.  We have travelled safely whilst jumping and made up a jumping routine with our friends.  We have even been learning how to do a standing long jump (Olympics team watch this space!). We have a jumping great time.
