On Monday 10th June, Y2 went to Hanley Park to explore the habitats in our local area. We were very enthusiastic and thought about the animals and insects which could be found in each place. Lots of children asked some great scientific questions! Well done Y2!

n Thursday 6th June, Y2 were kindly invited to take part in the D Day event at Hanley Park. All children enjoyed listening to the stories, remembering the brave soldiers and singing/dancing with The Sweethearts. What a wonderful morning we had!

This week our Year 2 pupils have had a warm welcome from the City Central Mosque. As part of our learning in RE we were thinking about ‘What makes some places sacred to believers?’. Children got to learn about the important role the Mosque plays in the community and were able to ask lots of interesting questions about its history. The Imam answered questions which helped the children to understand the key question alongside a guided tour of the mosque.

This week our Year 2 pupils have had a warm welcome from the team at Tesco Extra. As part of our learning in science we were thinking about ‘Healthy Eating’. Children were given the opportunity to tour the store, identify healthy/unhealthy food and develop their personal, social and emotional skills. The team at Tesco provided the children with a range of activities alongside a healthy fruit tasting session

This term in Year 2 we have been learning about “What is cool about Stoke on Trent” in geography. We have explored the different human and physical landmarks of Stoke-on-Trent. To support our learning we went for a walk around our local area and the City Centre. We followed a set of directions to find a secret location. Along the way, we identified many landmarks and features.
