The Foxes

        

Here you will find information about the topics we have covered over the year and the trips and events that we have undertaken.

We like to get out and about in the local community and enjoy many visitors coming into school.  

Year 2 encourages and focuses on independence and offers many responsibilities to the children to take on roles within the classroom and the school as a whole.

Take a look at what we have been learning about and enjoy viewing the photos of our trips and events. 

 

 

Autumn Term 2025

 

It was great to be back at school in the autumn term. It has been busy and challenging but the children have been fantastic throughout.

Geography

Year 2 children enjoyed an exciting geography walk to Southsea Seafront, where they explored its unique features.

They walked along the seafront to observe physical features such as beaches and the sea.

The children also identified human features, including the promenade, shops, cafes, and the pier.

Through hands-on observation, they learned how human and physical features shape the character of a coastal environment and discussed how people use and care for these areas.

 

Nutcracker moving pictures – Design & Technology

The children got creative this half term with their Nutcracker moving pictures!

The children learned all about the Nutcracker story, danced to Tchaikovsky music and learned some valuable skills in mechanisms, before planning, designing and creating their very own pictures.

The children loved using different materials to make their scenes come to life.

Finally, they added their characters on levers and gave a performance to the rest of the class!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

English – Meerkat Mail

We had a very cheeky visitor arrive in England all the way from the Kalahari Desert, Sunny the Meerkat!

He first took a tour of Portsmouth before he was spotted by a neighbour at our school getting up to mischief.

The children were amazed and wrote a newsletter for the local newspaper about what Sunny got up to at Devonshire!

 

 

 

Christmas

We had great fun at our Christmas party!

 

 

 

 

And finally a big thank you to all the parents who came to Santa's workshops.

Have a great Christmas and a happy New Year!
