THE SOMERHILL REVIEW 2023/24

Year 2

Indian cooking workshop Exploring the topic of India certainly inspired the Year 2 children in the Michaelmas term.There were many highlights, but the children particularly enjoyed a fun cooking workshop with some very kind parent volunteers. The children developed their culinary skills as they learnt how to make vegetable samosas and coconut barfis.They enjoyed eating them so much that they were then inspired to use instructional writing techniques to write recipes of how to make these delicious treats! Young writers Year 2 children were given the opportunity to showcase their incredible creative writing skills by entering a Young Writers competition in December.They all created fabulous stories based on the theme of ‘Super Pets-Incredible Adventures’. All the entries were fantastic and led to 18 of our pupils being picked for publication!

Gherkin and the animated stories

Year 2 had a fantastic day out at Drusillas Park and were particularly excited to meet Gherkin, the Humboldt penguin adopted by Year 2 to enrich their Frozen Worlds topic.They learnt some incredible penguin facts during a fascinating workshop and used their penguin knowledge back at school to create some amazing, animated stories in their ICT lessons about Gherkin’s imagined adventures.
