This week 30 children from year 2 got to visit Temple Park for a football event.
There was lots of different challenges which tested our goal shooting techniques, match skills and we even got to do some dancing!
The children had lots of fun whilst staying active and the sun was shining all afternoon!

This half term, Lori came to talk to us about road safety. We know that it is important to stop, look, listen and think when crossing the road!
We were very lucky to have a visit from our friend Technology Tom who came to work with us as part of our design and technology curriculum. Our topic is wheels and axles and we made a moving model of George Stephenson’s Rocket. We attached the wheels to the axle and then attached the axle using an axle holder. Then, we built the chassis and finally named our engines. We did an amazing job and had great fun too!
We had a visit from Elizabth, who is a story teller, she told us all about The Easter Story from the bible. Christians believe that Jesus died on a cross then rose again.
This half term we are learning all about George Stephenson, why he is a significant individual and why he was known as the ‘Father of the Railway’. To help us with our learning, That History Bloke visited us. We used role play, viewed artefacts and played games to learn facts about him and made mining candles and clay models of George’s locomotive, ‘The Rocket’.
Last half term Year 2 learned all about China. We visited The Oriental Museum and took part in Chinese dragon dancing, explored Chinese artefacts, completed Tangrams and found out the symbolic meanings of some animals to find hidden messages in pictures
.
Year 2 loved their trip to Beamish in Autumn term to help with their history topic, Coal mining. We found out what life was like living in a mining village during the Victorian times by visiting the mine, exploring the pit village and taking part in a Victorian class lesson.
