This week, we have been visited by the Gruffalo. He visited our class to see what they have been learning about. We showed him our enchanted doorway into the classroom which the fairies had left us. We then read stories about bears and he listened to them with us.

We have been trying to learn…

This week, the children have been finding out about famous pharaohs. They began by researching pharaohs and creating fact files all about the ones they had chosen.

After this, they discovered what qualities a pharaoh needs in order to be a great leader and their role and responsibilities. With…

Whilst we were looking for some ingredients to use in our Mud Kitchen we found some beans growing in our vegetable patch.  We had a little dig in the tyres where the potatoes had been plant4ed to see if they were ready.  We were so excited to find so many lovely potatoes.

We had a talk about…

We have had a busy week of learning and everyone has worked extremely hard - you should all feel very proud.

What a great start to the year and to our new topic 'Pharaohs'. The children were amazed and disgusted in equal measure as they watched a 'live' mummification! They also had fun sketching some of the objects which were found in King Tutankhamun's tomb. 

This week, Year 2 launched straight into their 'Wriggle and Crawl' topic by exploring the school woodland and wildlife areas in search of mini beasts.  The children thoroughly enjoyed lifting leaves and moving logs to discover lots of spiders, worms, beetles, crane fly, woodlice and snails.  The…

We really enjoyed digging up the carrots that had been…
