We can earn a 1p coin for good work, or if our work is really super we can earn a

We can use our coins to buy prizes from the prize shop.

We have enjoyed our first week as historians, understanding what "prehistoric" means.  We have learned some complicated names to describe the different parts of the Stone Age (paleolithic, mesolithic and neolithic), which is then followed by the Bronze Age and the Iron Age.  We have tried to…

Wow, the children have been so excited this week because a rocket has crash landed in our class. However, we can't find the alien who flew it but we have lots of clues. He/she has green hands and six fingers!!! We have been learning all about the planets and our solar system and we are going…

To finish off our incredibly busy week of magnificent learning in Year 2, we thought we'd end with a magical BANG and spend our 'Golden time' making edible sparklers and creating firework pictures.  The children loved hearing the crackling and whizzing of the popping candy!  Remember to stay safe…

There has been some fantastic problem solving happening in our Outdoor Area.

We have been using mathematical language to compare and describe objects we find inside and outside.

Just look at this fabulous problem solving happening.  Fabulous rearraning of the wooden logs to create a line…

What a brilliant first week back! We have started our new topic 'Peasants, Princes and Pestilence' and the children have started an experiment to see which part of the classroom is the dirtiest. We discussed our ideas and then the children have taken swabs to see which one grows bacteria in agar…

This week the children have worked so hard in Topic and English.

We've had a superb start to our new topic: Beast Creator. During the afternoon on Monday, we took a trip into both our wildlife areas to hunt for mini beasts. We were very careful when uncovering spots where we thought we could find them and even more careful when placing items back. The children…

To engage the children in our new topic ‘Beast Creator’, we had a visit from ZooLab. Rob brought in lots of different animals for us to hold and talked in great detail about the different classifications of animals. The children thought that he and his creatures were amazing!

We then went…

We had great fun in the wildlife area today for Goldentime. We relaxed in hammocks, built shelters, climbed trees, whittled wands and made fire! 

We have had a wonderful week leaning about the Jewish religion. We have been so creative making Mezuzahs (Jewish welcome prayers), baking Challah bread and learning to do a Jewish dance. We have had so much fun leaning about the Synagogue, the Torah and the clothes they wear. We made celebration…
