Year 2 CB
Welcome to Year 2B class page.
We have the recipe for success!
Take a group of enthusiastic children and add together caring and supportive teachers (don’t
forget to add teaching assistants!). Pour in lots of challenging and fun activities and sprinkle with excellent manners and behaviour. Stir until learning and progress is outstanding! Voila…a fantastic Year 2!
Join us on our fabulous learning journey as we use our skills to learn about our world in the past, present and future so that we can become valuable citizens of modern Britain.
Week commencing 22.09.25
We've had a super busy week! We began the week with our first muddy monsters session where the children got to make dens, explore the mud kitchen and look for insects. The children all had a great time and the weather was amazing!
We also went on our trip to the Baltic and the Quayside to learn about the Great Fire of Gateshead. The children started the day looking out of the viewing platform and describing what they could see. We discussed the different bridges we could see and what they were called. Then, the children drew their favourite bridge before designing and making their own. In the afternoon, we went on a walk around the Quayside to find out where the fire started and then we saw the ruins of the houses before we shouted 'Fire, Fire' to see how many people noticed. We had a great day!
Our two stars of the week are Sylvester and Layla R. Sylvester has blown me away with maths skills this week and has moved on to lots of reasoning challenges. Layla R is always the PERFECT role model in class and gives 100% effort in everything she does! What super stars you are!
Week commencing 8th September
We've had another busy week in Y2B. The children have been learning about basic first aid skills and what we should have in a first aid box. We discussed what we would do if we needed first aid and how we could help each other. In R.E, the children learnt that a parable is a comparison of two things, often done through a story that has two meanings. The children then had a great time acting out a freeze frame from the parable.
A HUGE well done to to our two children who received the first pupil of the week. Theo has been amazing in art and created a great collage of the Angel of the North using different textured paper that he created. Sophie is just an exceptional role model in class ALL the time. She always gives 100% effort in everything she does ... we are so proud of you both. Super stars!
Week commencing 1st September
We've had such a busy first week back at school after the summer holidays. Your children have all settled in beautifully to life in Year 2. It is a HUGE step up from Year 1 and are expectations are high but the children are rising to this challenge. We have got very messy this week during our art unit. We have learnt about an artist called Romare Bearden and looked at lots of different collages that he has created. We created our own collage of 'The Angel of the North' which I have to say look incredible. We started the week learning how to colour mix before we then printed with different textures. We then pieced it all together to create our collage. We had lots of fun!
We have also elected our school councillors who are Niki and Theo are they both gave a fantastic speech as to how they could help improve our school. We also chose our Reading Champions who are Blake and Daisy who are so excited to promote reading within our class and the school. A HUGE well done to you all!
