Welcome to Year Two
The emphasis in Year Two is to follow the Key Stage One Curriculum, which focuses on the development of the individual child and provides high quality learning opportunities for the children to learn through play.

Y2 Drumming
Class 1 are making amazing progress in their weekly drumming lessons. We are in the process of learning some new rhythms for a performance. The class have become very confident and counting the beats and including rests.
Local walk around Stocksbridge
Class 1 enjoyed a local walk around Stocksbridge. We started our walk at school and headed to the sports centre. We then noticed a big difference as we entered the countryside. We followed the road to Pot House woods which led us back to school. We could then compare Sheffield city centre to Stocksbridge and the countryside.
Reading for pleasure in Class 1
We are enjoying reading ‘The book with no pictures’ in Class 1. The children have loved it so much that they have been taking it in turns to read it to each other.
Y2 Drumming
Since September, Year 2 have been learning how to play the drums. They have had a fantastic time playing along to pop songs and have worked incredibly hard perfecting their musical skills. Year 2 have explored pulse, dynamics and staying in time with the music.
Bug hunting on the field
Class 1 had a fantastic time on the field looking for insects. We used a range of equipment to gently capture a range of bugs. We were amazed with how much everyone found. Class 1 are currently learning about different types of animals and habitats.
Guided reading in the sun
Class 1 are enjoying the sunshine at the moment. We decided to do guided reading outside which was enjoyed by everyone.
Class 1 had a fantastic time making healthy pizzas in DT. They were amazing at using the knives to cut up the vegetables into small, neat pieces. Everyone also had a go at grating cheese with the grater. We finished off by having a tasting session and everyone thoroughly enjoyed eating their healthy pizza.
First Aid training
Class 1 worked incredibly hard during their First Aid training. They learned a range of skills including CPR, the recovery position and applying bandages. The children very carefully completed the recovery position and practised doing it on each other. They worked hard doing CPR on mannequins and were surprised by how hard they needed to press.
Sewing skills
Class 1 have been working extremely hard on their sewing skills this week. First we learned how to tie a double knot. This was very fiddly! Then we had to really concentrate to get the thread through the needle. We have learned three types of stitches: running stitch, blanket stitch and a cross stitch.We also learned how to attach a button. This will help us when we make our hand puppets.

Ambulance service
We were visited by the Ambulance service this week. Class 1 asked lots of interesting questions and learned a lot about being a paramedic. In the morning two paramedics came and allowed the class to try on the uniform. The children were surprised with how heavy the helmets were! In the afternoon we headed outside to see the ambulance. The children got to sit inside and even got bandaged up!

Class 1 have been learning a song about Florence Nightingale. We have added in actions which has helped us to learn the words. This song has taught us about the amazing nurses who helped the sick soldiers.
