Good afternoon everyone,

In maths, we have used rulers to measure items in centimetres and had a look around school to measure different things.

During our history lesson, we have been learning about Christopher Columbus and how he tried to find a quicker route to China. We discovered that he actually ended up in the Bahamas - not China!

We have been learning about diaries in English. We pretended to be part of Shackleton's crew on board the Endurance and worked together in tables to write about our feelings, what we had done and what we could see.

In PE, we stood on one leg to practise our balance and did a little bit of throwing and catching. Then we did some standing long jumps and running. Abi came in from Holmfirth High School to see how well be could do! She was very impressed.

In art, we have been working on a special tree drawing, where we colour-blend the leaves together. They are looking awesome!

Good afternoon everyone,

During our maths lessons this week, we have done lots of work on number bonds to 10 and 20, plus used a hundred square to add 10, 11 and 20. The class have practised doing a number jump down the hundred squares to add 10/20.

In English, we have learned lots about Ernest Shackleton's boat, the Endurance and the crew. The class wrote their very own Endurance descriptions.

In history, we have learned more about Columbus and are excited to find out more about some amazing explorers!

Outside on the playground in PE, one of our lessons was all about look, run and avoid. We had our bibs and some children were Hyenas and some were Lions. The Hyenas tried to take the lions tails away! (Bibs) In our other lesson, we focused on agility and did 6 different agility-based activities.

Thanks and have a good weekend!

Mr. H. and Class 2!

Good afternoon everyone,

We have embarked on Shackleton's journey here in Class Two and are starting to find out about his crew and their plan!

During maths, the class have studied money and the children have enjoyed looking at coins and working out total costs and which coins could make a total.

In history, we found out where Columbus made ground on his famous journey and the class are excited to discover what happens next.

During our outdoor learning, we have been following the progress of the fruit trees in our school grounds from Springtime when the leaves and blossom were starting to grow so it was fantastic to discover that the apples are now ready to eat! We gathered some of the windfall apples to use in our mud kitchen and for our artwork then we each picked one fresh from the tree to have for our snack. They were delicious!

Good afternoon everyone,

First off, I hope this post finds you well and having had a break in one form or another over the summer.

The children have been brilliant this week! They have settled brilliantly and we are just starting to get into our 'Explorers' topic.

To start the week off, we discussed the back-to-school rules and expectations and then listened to one another regarding what we had done during the break. The children created some artwork about the activities they did and wrote a brief recount.

We have started looking at Columbus in history as part of our topic and listened to some sea shanties as well.

In maths, we have been focussing on our Y2 daily five questions, counting and place value. Have a look at this gorgeous work from today!
