12.04.24 A week in review
Posted: Apr 12, 2024 by: Greg Hobson (GHobson) on: Class 2
Good afternoon everyone,
Welcome back to the school website. I hope you all had a good Easter and it has been lovely to catch up with everyone after some time off.
Our topic in school has moved on from the Great Fire of London and has become Seasides. This unit is a history topic that compares old holidays with new and picks out some of the similarities and differences. We will explore some of the traditions around holidays and why people started visiting the seaside in the first place. We will explore an element of geography throughout the half term, as we explore different holiday destinations and where people travel from to get to the seaside.
Starting off with English, the class have enjoyed a very varied week. It began by writing recounts of some of the activities they have been up to whilst not at school and then we looked at a collection of seaside poems by Jill Bennett. The class loved the poems so much, that they had a go at creating their very own. Some were rhyming, some were descriptive and some were funny. Some of the class even performed their poems in front of everyone and read with some great expression.
During our maths lessons, the class have been working hard on their fraction knowledge. They have been halving, quartering, finding three quarters and thirds of amounts!
Have a great weekend everyone!
Mr. H.
