Anamika Mishra says, “Winter is not a season, it's a celebration.” We have been celebrating in Year 2 this week. We have been ready for the cold winds and icy weather wrapped up in our coats, gloves hats and scarves. The winter weather has been kept outside as we continue to delve into the story of the Great Fire in London. The children have developed story paths and sequencing events, delving deeper into the experiences of the population of London. As we are progressing into our second term the children have been encouraged to use their skills with greater independence which was very evident in their maths lessons this week. We have been working on double digit addition without any support materials, also adding and finding change. This is something we all celebrated! And using the words of Tim Allen, ‘Winter forms our character and brings out our best’. Something that we have been showing this week in Year 2.
