Year 2
Wirral Country Park Trip
June 2024
Year Two had lots of fun on their trip to the Wirral Country Park. The day began with Ranger Jo teaching us how to pond dip and identify pond life. One of the highlights of the day was finding a tiny frog in the grass! The children had a great time pond dipping, and then after lunch, we went down to the beach to do a seashore search. The children found shells, mermaid purses, hornwrack and crabs, as well as having fun building sandcastles. We finished the day with ice creams at the cafe. We are very grateful to God for creating such a beautiful world for us to explore.
Frog Book Presentations
June 2024
This term, the children have been busy looking after tadpoles in class and observing the amazing life cycle God has created. In English, the children have been learning about the different features of an information text and then worked hard to make their own information books all about frogs. The topic concluded with Year Two children presenting their work to Year One!
Marvellous Math!
May 2024
This week in Maths, the children have been very busy. They used scales to weigh classroom items. Then they weighed and mixed the ingredients to make flapjack. They finished the week by doing their Maths lesson outside, using the water trays to measure the capacity of different-sized containers.
Easter Fun!
March 2024
The children in Year two have been busy preparing for Easter. We have read the Easter story, made Easter baskets, crafted Easter cards and lastly, gone on an Easter egg hunt! We are thankful that Jesus came to give us new life.

Nativity 2023
Ferry Trip
October 2023
Year Two had a fun way to end their term by going on a ferry ride to learn more about "Rivers," the topic they've been studying. The children had a great time spotting famous landmarks along the river, which they've been learning about in Geography and Art lessons. They also got to connect what they've learned about God's great plan for the water cycle to a real river, the River Mersey, and they waved towards the Irish Sea. After that, they visited the 'Museum of Liverpool,' and the children really enjoyed a workshop called 'Little Liverpool.' In this workshop, they used nets to pick up things that can harm the river and had a lot of fun sailing tiny boats on the River Mersey. This trip made their lessons come alive and helped them appreciate rivers and how they work.
Rivers
September/October 2023
This term Year Two have been learning all about Rivers. The children had fun putting photos of the Liverpool landmarks in the correct place along the River Mersey. Then they learnt that maps have a key which uses symbols to represent landmarks. Finally the children consolidated what they had learnt by labelling their own maps.
Bible Explorers
September 2023
This term Year Two have been learning about the story of Abraham and in particular God's promise to Abraham to "give him as many descendants as the stars in the sky". The children decorated cakes with 100s and 1000s to represent the stars and then tried to count them! Later in the term the children went on a treasure hunt to find key Bible verses in the Bible containing God's promises which were then displayed on stars in the sky.
