Wriggle and Crawl

This half term Year 2's Cornerstones topic is 'Wriggle and Crawl'. 

The children will be learning about lots of different mini beasts and how they live.

For the engage stage of the topic the children went on a 'bug hunt'.  They took great delight in scouring the Forest School looking for different mini beasts.

Here are some home learning ideas to help you with the 'Wriggle and Crawl' topic this half term.

Innovate

The children created their own versions of the life cycle of a honey bee.  Afterwards they recorded their presentation on the ipads.

Express

After learning about the life cycle of a honey bee the children went into Forest School and with the help of Mrs Bull they made honey and lemon drinks using a 'kelly kettle' over the fire. Afterwards the children enjoyed sipping the super sweet drink.

Children in Need

All the children came to school dressed in their spottiest clothes, some of the children had even created their own spotty outfit themselves at home.  The day started with a spectacular assembly by 2B.  Afterwards Year 2 had a danceathon in the hall and the children were keen to show off their fantastic dance moves.  A lovely day was had by all.

Some children visited Forest School which had been transformed into a beautiful Winter Wonderland.  Toasted marshmallows, decorating Christmas trees and fun in the snow, what a wonderful experience it was!
