Year 2: 2023-2024 (Spring Term)
Today we followed our detailed textiles plan in order to make puppets for our nursery children for story time. We evaluated our puppets thinking about what we did well and what we found difficult. Miss Doyle was very impressed! @Mrs_Crellin @Miss_Carr_Falla @FallaParkSchool pic.twitter.com/kdtPl5au0I

Today we have explored and evaluated different joining techniques considering which ensured the fabrics were joined securely. We used vocabulary such as seam, template, sew and running stitch when talking about our learning 🪡 @Mrs_Crellin @FallaParkSchool @Miss_Carr_Falla pic.twitter.com/2LDdx5yLSI

During careers day we used our maths skills to create a tally chart and block graph which showed the different types of business in Felling. We discussed the skills we would need to carry out some of the jobs in these businesses. @Mrs_Crellin @Miss_Carr_Falla @FallaParkSchool pic.twitter.com/7mWpAUi5nU

During careers day we thought about lessons we enjoy and skills we have to help us identify careers we might be interested in. We used a map of the local area to identify potential careers that might be suitable for us in Felling. @Mrs_Crellin @Miss_Carr_Falla @FallaParkSchool pic.twitter.com/m7vO45KWZD

Thank you to all the year 2 parents/carers who attended our open morning. We enjoyed teaching our parents everything we know about colour mixing and using our skills to create our own ‘Van Gogh’ inspired painting. @FallaParkSchool @Miss_Carr_Falla @MrsMcMillanFP pic.twitter.com/iHOPZji27m

As part of children’s mental health week, in PE today we thought about how exercise and movement helps with our mental health. We tried out yoga, Joe Wicks ‘fit in 5’ and Just Dance. We discussed how exercise made us feel both mentally and physically. @Mrs_ARowan @FallaParkSchool pic.twitter.com/9kcUstFVUz

In science we have been building our own simple, closed, series circuits from instructions. We talked about the flow of electricity and discussed how electricity transfers energy around the circuit to make the components work. @Mrs_Crellin @FallaParkSchool @Miss_Carr_Falla pic.twitter.com/msX4Yv3JGc

Today we launched ‘Children’s Mental Health Week 2024’ by having an assembly about the theme of ‘Your Voice Matters’. We dressed in loud clothes and designed t-shirts to reflect this theme.
