Good afternoon everyone,
First off, welcome back to everyone after the Easter holidays. Here in class two, we have started our new topic about the seaside.
In English, we have been trying to make some poems inspired by the seaside and we have illustrated pictures linked to our poems. The pictures we created were based on art by Nick Sharratt.
During our maths lessons, we have been adding in a quick way, using our tens and ones to solve problems and have used money as well.
In history, the class started looking at google maps to see what different seaside places look like and what features they can have.
For DT this half-term, the class are going to make mini campervan toys to play with and we started learning about wheels and axles.
We have enjoyed the lovely weather this week and headed out onto the field to practice some athletics activities ready for sports day later on this term. We used javelins, eggs and spoons, shotputs and batons.
Thank you for reading and have a nice weekend!
from Mr. H. and Class Two!

Good afternoon everyone,
This week, I am going to start off with history. The class are experts at how the Great Fire of London started and why it lasted so long. The children thought about what should happen to the damaged areas of London and began to design new homes that would not pose the same risks as the old ones. They thought about the choice of materials and the spacing of the buildings to rebuild a safer and more modern London.
In maths, the class have enjoyed using various methods of working out to solve problems in various maths games and during our English lessons over the week, the children have drafted and wrote up a newspaper article about the Great Fire and include lots of facts and information that they have learned over the course of the half-term.
Thanks everyone, have a good weekend!

Science week!
The MOST exciting part of this week has had to be Science Week! The class got into groups with the year one and reception children and enjoyed and participated in a carousel of six different experiments! The class two children were brilliant role models and helped the younger children out.

Good afternoon everyone,
We have had a lovely week here at school, punctuated by World Book Day.
First off, thanks to everyone who sent in some lovely baking - the class loved having story time and snacking simultaneously! We also managed to catch up with our year five buddies and share a book with them.
Abi from the Sports Partnership has been in this week and delivered a Boccia session. The class were fantastic and showed brilliant skills.
Well done everyone!
Have a good weekend,
Mr. H.

Good afternoon everyone,
This half-term has got up and running fast! The class are already getting enthusiastic about our new topic "Fire! Fire!"
To begin, they have been learning about what England and London, in particular, was like in 1666 and that period of time.
In maths, we have been consolidating on multiplication and division after a break for half term and using arrays and methods such as grouping and sharing to help work out number sentences.
Our history lesson has obviously revolved around the Great Fire of London and we have looked at what people wore, how they lived and what life would have been like for them.
Lastly, during science, the class took part in an investigation about waterproof materials. We had to work out which of our 6 sample materials would be the most suitable for a coat to be made out of. We worked in teams to test the samples by exposing them to water and observing how the materials handled the water and recorded our results in tables. To round off the lesson, the class wrote a conclusion describing their findings and the best material for a raincoat.
Thanks everyone,
Have a nice weekend!
Mr. H.
