StPhilips Year 2 - Mr Callaway

In Spanish, we have been learning the names of the colours and different fruits and vegetables. Here are some of our posters. #teamstphilips @StPhilipCEAP

We’ve also really enjoyed art this week. We have made Christmas cards using positive and negative prints. #teamstphilips @StPhilipCEAP

We loved our final forest school of the term. We made toast on the fire. Some of us had a *few* slices 😀 #teamstphilips @StPhilipCEAP

We are really excited to perform our Christmas play today and tomorrow. Our costumes look great. #teamsphilips @StPhilipCEAP

This week in Art we are making positive and negative prints. We absolutely loved it. @StPhilipCEAP #teamstphilips

We are really looking forward to starting our new book “The Magic and Mystery of Trees” in our reading sessions. We will soon be experts 😀 #teamstphilips @StPhilipCEAP

Thank you to everyone who came dressed up for #childreninneed2023 on Friday. You all looked great. #teamstphilips @StPhilipCEAP

We have also been really enjoying forest school this half term.

In Science this week, we have been testing the absorbency of different paper towels and tissues to see which would be the best to dry a spilt drink. We tested how much water it would hold and how dry the table looked after. #teamstphilips @StPhilipCEAP

Today, Reverend Sarah visited us with lost fo special Bibles. She talk to us about why the Bible is special to her, why we have the Bible and why lots of people use the Bible. The children created fantastic questions for her to answer. #teamstphilips @StPhilipCEAP

Today, we have been learning how to draw our own maps of the local area as far as the orchard. We made a class messy map, mapping out our walk, and then drew our own on paper. #teamstphilips @StPhilipCEAP

Today we read ‘Wolves’ by Emily Gravett to launch our next English topic. They children generated adjectives to describe wolves and then learned to draw a picture of a wolf. @StPhilipCEAP #teamstphilips

Yesterday, we went to the Orchard. We learnt that plants are living things and “poo out” oxygen for us to breathe. #teamstphilips @StPhilipCEAP

We have started our class reading this week. We have all been really excited to begin reading the book “The Spider and the Fly”. Did you know it is almost 200 years old? #teamstphilips @StPhilipCEAP

We have had a brilliant start to Year 2. This week, we have been learning lots on the glockenspiel. We learnt the song “I Wanna Play in a Band”, and also a quick version of “We Will Rock You” by Queen as we were so fantastic! @StPhilipCEAP #teamstphilips

We had a brilliant day last week at the Catalyst Museum. We created observational sketches from the observatory tour, explored the interactive gallery and made soap. #teamstphilips @StPhilipCEAP

We had a fabulous morning yesterday at forest school. We used hammers and nails to make the face of the Green Man who brings the spring to the forest! @StPhilipCEAP
