Year 2 Blog - 22.10.26

Date: 22nd Oct 2026 @ 4:01pm

What a lovely final week of our first half-term in Year 2! We began the week by visiting church to celebrate St Luke’s Day together.

In English, we have been planning our own stories inspired by The Lion in Paris. The children chose an animal to go on an adventure in Formby or Liverpool, thought about how it would travel there and used adjectives to describe their characters.

In maths, we have been comparing numbers using the greater than, less than and equal to symbols. We also practised counting in 2s, 3s, 5s and 10s, explored odd and even numbers, and spotted patterns on hundred squares. You could continue practising these counting skills at home over the holidays!

Our geography learning has taken us from Formby to Shyira in Rwanda as we explored similarities and differences between the two places. We also thought about what makes Formby special and created posters celebrating our local area.

Elsewhere, we explored how information technology is used in the world around us, used crystal paints to decorate wax leaves and continued developing our skills in gymnastics. We also enjoyed working together, sharing our ideas and celebrating each other’s achievements throughout the week.

In line with our homework policy, there will be no homework set over half-term but please feel free to access doodle and plenty of reading. 

Thank you for all your support throughout our first half-term. The children have worked so hard and have lots to be proud of. We hope you all enjoy a lovely, restful half-term break!
