Year 2 2025-2026
Welcome to the Year 2 Page! This page will help explain some of the awesome learning taking place in our year group!
Year 2 visit SeaCity Museum
Our Year 2's had a fantastic trip to the SeaCity Musuem in Southampton!
The children continued their learning about the Titanic, exploring the lives of significant people aboard, the differences between the class systems, and the key events that led to the ships sinking.
Our wonderful guides, Immie, Bea and Becky shared so many fascinating facts and stories that truly brought our learning to life.
The year 2's came away from the museum buzzing with knowledge and excitement!
Iceberg Ahoy!
This week, a mysterious box arrived at school filled with fascinating artefacts! After carefully exploring (and even trying on a few items!), we discovered they were linked to the RMS Titanic and the era in which it sailed.
We’ve spent the week learning all about the significant people aboard the Titanic and have created our own wonderful, informative fact files.
These will soon be showcased in Orchard’s very own Titanic Museum — opening in just a few weeks! We can’t wait to share our learning with everyone.
Fighting Fit!
In their third week of the Fighting Fit project, Year 2 have been hard at work after Mrs Kemp set them a special challenge: to design their very own fitness circuits to help the Crump family get fit and healthy!
The children first explored a circuit set up by their teacher to understand how it works. Then, with lots of enthusiasm and creativity, they got busy designing and testing their very own circuits.
We were so impressed with their ideas that we just had to share them! In a couple of weeks, our grown-ups will be invited to join us for a special Fighting Fit Workshop, where Year 2 will showcase their brilliant circuits.
Don’t worry grown-ups, the children have also been busy writing clear and detailed command sentences, so you’ll know exactly what to do!
Welcome back to school Year 2!
What a wonderful start to the new school year!
