We have had lots of fun learning about capacity! We had to measure the volume of containers carefully using millilitres and read the scales accurately. First we had to estimate and then we got to measure.
For our Festival Encounter Day, Year 2 learnt about the Hindu festival Diwali. We made tea light holders since it is the 'Festival of Light'. We learnt about the story of Rama & Sita.
Measuring the length of things using metres. First we estimated then we used trundle wheels and measuring tapes to find out actually how long the item was.
We had a visit from an archaeologist - it was very interesting.

Another well earned marble treat (number 4!) - an afternoon of fun, including making and eating banana splits!
Just before the Easter holidays, we managed to achieve our next 'Maths Marathon' target by earning points going on 'Numbots' at home each week practising our maths skills. We voted for an afternoon of activities with our teddies from home.

In our session with Inspire Prayer Space, we were quiet and reflective and thought about a lot of different ways of helping and supporting each other.
Gymnastics - using the apparatus safely, creating different balances and landing carefully.

Christmas jumper day, party hats and Christmas dinner!
We had an art afternoon, which was our prize for winning the Maths Marathon. We had a choice of making Christmas Trees, 3D snowmen, printing, paper chains and Santa door hangers. We had a really nice time with Christmas music on as well.

We enjoyed performing in our nativity called 'The Twinkly Nativity.'
Cinderella the pantomime comes to Teversham School - we loved it!
