Autumn term

Year 2 have started the autumn term exploring the story, 'Bedtime for Monster' by Ed Vere. They enjoyed role play and making their own books. 

We have also been researching London landmarks and finding out about the history of London. We are looking forward to making and evaluating our own landmarks of London and some children have already made replica models.
Our topic focus for term 2 was 'India'. During our Indian Experience Day, we enjoyed preparing and cooking a range of delicious dishes including potato curry, pea pilau rice and coconut squares. We had the opportunity to try Indian dancing and drumming and we had great fun performing our new skills to our parents. At the end of the day we all enjoyed our tasty food.
We have also been learning about Hinduism and we were lucky enough to visit the Hare Krishna temple. During our visit we learnt about Hindu worship and identified the important scriptures in the temple.

Spring term

Year 2 entered into a time travelling machine and embarked on an investigative journey through history to discover the differences between types of vehicles and how people travelled in the past. They went to the London Transport Museum to experience what these vehicles were really like. 

We have been reading 'Leon and the Place Between', a fantastic book about magic. The children wrote letters to Mrs Langridge (our Head Teacher) persuading her to invite a real magician into school. Mrs Langridge was so impressed, a magician mysteriously appeared the next day. 
Year 2 visited the Hindu Temple in South Norwood to find out about Hinduism. They observed how traditional Hindus worship and were able to ask the priest lots of inquisitive questions.
