Welcome to Year 2 

Dates to Remember

Monday 6th October - Scootability

Celebration Assembly - Friday morning

Welcome to Year 2 at Hollybush Primary School! We’re thrilled to start our new learning adventure this term with the exciting topic of "Instructions". The children will be exploring how to follow and give simple instructions through play, stories, and hands-on activities, from making sandwiches to building models and even creating their own step-by-step guides!

To inspire our imaginations, we’ll be reading books by our class authors Roald Dahl, and  Chris Judge. These stories will help us think about bravery, listening carefully, and how instructions can help us solve problems and try new things. We’re looking forward to a fun-filled term of learning, laughter, and lots of creativity!

Kirkstall Abbey Visit

Year 2 had a wonderful time walking to Kirkstall Abbey! On our walk, the children spotted a variety of human and physical features they have been learning about in Geography. As we passed through the woods, we noticed the trees changing colour, which led to some lovely discussions about autumn. Once we arrived at the Abbey, the children used their art skills to sketch the beautiful ruins of the Abbey.

Instructions

Year 2 had lots of fun learning about instructions by making their own playdough! They followed the instructions step by step and enjoyed measuring out the different ingredients. Children made links with what they already knew about instructions and looked more in detail about the different features of instructions and their purpose.
