On Friday year 2 had to use their mathematical minds to solve maths clues in a treasure hunt. They then had to find the combination from their answers to unlock the treasure chest and get their treasure. What a fantastic time using our knowledge of maths in a different context well done everyone!
Maths Day 2022
2SV loved Maths Day and all of the activities which they got to take part in. Two of our favourite activities were the Scavenger Hunt (of course) and also learning to use co-ordinates to identify human features around our school, in our local area. This allowed us to show what fantastic Mathematicians and Geographers we are.

On Friday 6th May the children in year 2 had the most amazing time learning about a Hindu wedding. The children dressed up in some beautiful outfits, and researched the traditions of the wedding. The children also made some wonderful henna designs and learnt that this is what a bride would do before her wedding. Finally everyone wore the most colourful garlands and attended a wedding at the Mandir, where the children took part in a Hindu wedding, danced and celebrated. It was a fantastic afternoon for everyone.

Our Trip to The Fishing Heritage Centre
When the early railways connected Great Grimsby to London’s famous fish markets in 1848, the town began an astonishing development into the World’s Premier Fishing Port! Fresh fish was now available nationwide and a national dish of Fish and Chips became possible.
Year 2 visited the Fishing Heritage Centre in Grimsby to learn about the history of Grimsby and it's fishing industry as part of our History learning. The children enjoyed climbing on board the preserved Ross Tiger and learning all about life at sea on a trawler. Through the wonderful sights, sounds and smells at the museum, our children learned all about the industry and appreciated how dangerous working on a busy fishing trawler was.
Inside the museum, our children enjoyed being historians by exploring the many displays on offer, using their chronological skills and placing events in order and by identifying the many similarities from the past in comparison to modern life.

To commemorate Remembrance Day, Year 2 created some poppy sun catchers. We then wrote a set of instructions to show other people how to create them. We also learnt about why Remembrance Day is important and found out why we wear poppies.

Harvest Assembly 11.10.21
Today was our Harvest Assembly. We discussed harvest and what it means. We talked about the different things that can be harvested. We also linked this to our personal development and discussed how we can be self-aware, responsible, benevolent and empathetic towards others by contributing to the harvest donations.
