Well that wasn't the start to the term we were expecting, but tonight (Friday) there are 2 EXTREMELY happy and proud teachers here!  Year 2 have thrown themselves into learning at home with all the gusto we see in school, showing the true Tudor spirit.

We have started off our new theme by looking at the way transport has changed through time with lots of excellent observations and time lines.

As we are travelling about on our transport, we are using it to explore the world around us 'THE WILDERNESS MUST BE EXPLORED!" That is what we are focusing on in science.

There were lots of fantastic walks (with some very interesting creatures seen- a fox! a bunny that looked like a little sister!) and many gardens explored.

Here is a great effort making use of the sunshine and taking her learning outside:  

                                                 

 

All in all a great few days learning!  Nothing can stop Year 2!

Keep your eyes peeled for what we get up to next week!
