--- title: "Year 2 Highlights" url: "https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/news/2020-11-18-year-2-highlights" school: "The Palmer Academy" --- # Year 2 Highlights ![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/news/Year_2.jpg) 18 November 2020 We have had a brilliant start to the term in Year 2. We have started our new art sketch books and explored the artist Rembrandt and the features of his portrait. We have also been discussing stereotypes in PSHE around boys and girls. We paired up and found out the similarities between boys and girls and how our genders do not determine our opinions and choices. In History we are learning about the Great Fire of London and have worked out where it took place as well as when in history it happened. We are so proud of the way the Year 2 children have returned this half term and are pleased to be able to share their great achievements with you at parents evening. ### Here are some examples of our PSHE work: [![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/gallery/year-2-highlights/Year%202.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/gallery/year-2-highlights/Year%202.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/gallery/year-2-highlights/Year%202-2.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/gallery/year-2-highlights/Year%202-2.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/gallery/year-2-highlights/Year%202-3.png)](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/gallery/year-2-highlights/Year%202-3.png) [![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_0002_rotated.jpg)](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/news/2020-03-02-year-4s-road-trip-around-the-usa) Previous ### [Year 4s Road Trip around the USA](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/news/2020-03-02-year-4s-road-trip-around-the-usa) [![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/imagecache/100x100c/news/Year_3.jpg)](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/news/2020-11-23-year-3-highlights) Next ### [Year 3 Highlights](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/news/2020-11-23-year-3-highlights) ### News & Events - [News](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/news) - [Upcoming Events](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/events) - [Newsletters](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/news-events/Newsletters) - [![Absence Reporting Link](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/partners/1(1)_(1).png)](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/absence-reporting) - [![Accelerated Reader](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/partners/2(1)_(1).png)](https://login.renaissance.com/12d2ca4f-6beb-4887-82ee-ddfbdb0b88d4?state=145e0c43-7ae1-46eb-a2d3-c9224036ffb3) ##### Location 70 Northumberland Avenue Reading Berkshire RG2 7PP ##### Contact Us 0118 9375481 ##### Stay Connected - [X](https://twitter.com/R2PalmerAcademy) - [Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/c/ThePalmerAcademy) © Copyright 2015–2026 The Palmer Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
