"We are to be responsible for the way we act toward others" (Luke 10:30-37)
In year 2 we have enjoyed looking at the value of responsibility. We have discussed the things that we need to take responsibility for at home, in school and in our environment.
Maths
As part of our Maths learning this half term we have been looking at addition and subtraction. We have started to use the column method.

PSHE
In PSHE we have been learning how our class is like one big family. We read a interesting story and then we came up with ideas why we enjoy being part of the St George's family.
RE
During our RE lesson we have been looking at what charities are and what they do to help support people and animals in need. We also looked at ways in which we could raise money or support a charity. We then worked with our learning partners to organise the charities into different categories in terms of who they help.

We have continued our learning about Rosa Parks discussing why Rosa Parks wanted to stand up against racism. The children had amazing ideas and being emphatic. We then went into pairs and created a protest poster as if we were alive at the time of Rosa Parks.

Science
In science we have been learning about materials that are waterproof and materials that aren't waterproof. We painted some paper and it absorbed the liquid. We then added a wax crayon design to the paper and painted over it. The liquid stayed on top, this means the wax is waterproof.
