During the Spring term, Year 2 explored Northampton in Geography. We learned about the human and physical features that we would find in Northampton and compared these with features found in Loddington. We then visited Northampton where we used our map skills to locate The Guildhall, Northampton Post Office, The Northampton Museum and Art Gallery and The Derngate Theatre. After our visit we created our own sketch maps showing the route we took and created a key to help identify buildings and other features on our maps.

In Music we have been exploring composition. We used the glockenspiel to create our own compositions using our knowledge of musical notation. Then we worked together to create a composition as a group.

Science – Everyday Materials Autumn 2023

The children in Year 2 enjoyed working scientifically throughout their science topic ‘Everyday Materials’. The children tested solid objects to see if they were able to change their shape by twisting, squashing, bending or stretching. Then, the children tested out different materials to see which one would be the most waterproof. We thoroughly enjoyed testing if brick was waterproof!

Maths – Greater than and Less than Autumn 2023

Year 2 were super mathematicians this term when learning about the greater than, less than and equal to symbols. They were able to identify which number was greater and use the correct symbol. The children enjoyed engaging in activities with concrete materials before working through more abstract concepts.
