Year 2
Jessica Whalen – Teacher, Laura Mayhew – Teaching Assistant.
Year 2 had a blast at the beach today. The sea wasn’t the warmest it could be (it was positively Baltic) but the kids didn’t mind - they were amazing. They played so lovely together, enjoying hole digging, volleyball, tennis, football, burying each other and even piling on the staff! What a fab day! Best beach trip yet.

Year 2 had a fantastic time visiting the HMS Trincomalee. We explored the history of the ship through a tour, we steered the ship and also rang the bell. We played with games from the olden days and explored the shops that were around in the past. The children were wonderful making it a great day. #dcpsdragon
Ahoy me hearties!
Thursday 12th July is Year 2 Pirate Day. Children are invited to come into school dressed as a pirate if they so wish. If they don’t want to, school uniform as normal. On the day we will be partaking in several pirate activities, treasure and ship stealing sadly is not on the list!
Get practising those pirate sayings Arrgh!

Year 2 loved learning all about South Africa for International Day. We made some amazing fact posters showing what we learned, learned a South African dance and created a collage flag. We also learned that the speed gun used in cricket and tennis matches was invented in South Africa by a man called Henri Johnson. We performed some freeze frames to demonstrate how it was used. A brilliant day.

Year 2 had a great time on Friday for Heritage Day. We loved talking to the grandparents and finding out about their school days - very different to ours!
Afterwards we ventured into the world of shopping where we learned all about how shops and supermarkets have changed. It was quite the challenge for us to sort items into the shops they would have come from before Tesco and Aldi were around. We’d never heard of a fishmongers or a fruiterers!
Our day ended with a mining expert - it was fascinating!
