Having Fun, Achieving Excellence!
Wow! What a hardworking half term it has been for the Year 2 children. We couldn’t be prouder of the effort and progress that each and every child has made.
What have Year 2 been up to?
Terrific Topic!
Year 2 have been helping Cosmo the alien find a new home. Cosmo arrived when his spaceship crash landed in our Forest School, but he soon got it repaired and headed back up into Space!
From space, he sent us some photographs and we used our geographical understanding of location and place to identify his next stops! We enjoyed learning about Chembakolli and Mumbai in India, as well as many parts of Australia. We did a great job of comparing and contrasting these places to Gosforth before deciding where Cosmo should live.
Busy Bees!
We have been busy with Numeracy, Literacy, RE, Art, Spanish, PSHE and so much more! Take a look at our amazing work below.
