Northern Ireland Year 2

Welcome to the Northern Ireland Year 2 Class Page.  Here, you can find out about everything that we've been doing this term.
Week beginning 22nd April 2024
We have had a great week in Northern Ireland class and have been working super hard! This week we started our new RE unit.  The religion we are exploring this half term is Islam and the theme we are looking at is 'Community and Belonging'. We discussed how we can make people feel that they belong, explored different times and places when we may feel a sense of belonging.  Then we talked about where we feel we belong and drew a picture to show this.  Lovely, thoughtful work everyone - well done!
Week beginning 15th April 2024
A big welcome back to you all for our final term of the school year.  We have had a great first week back with a visit from the Gateshead Music Service providing us with another brilliant music workshop, our rap performance as part of the Gateshead Sports Partnership Award and some fab art work inspired by Andy Warhol.
This week I wanted to share some of our super English work.  This week we were introduced to our new focus text - The Paper Bag Princess.  The children have worked hard to learn the story through drama, story props and puppets.  We then worked hard to describe the main characters from the story, using apostrophes to show possession when writing a description of the characters. 
A fab start to our new term everyone - have a lovely weekend ready for lots more fun and learning next week.
