Good afternoon,
We have had a fun filled week learning about London and the Great Fire in 1666. We performed some poetry by Paul Perro and after, we tried to create our own rhyming Great Fire poems.
In PE, we have been doing Tag Rugby and enjoyed some mini-games of Tag Rugby.
It has been a warm spring so far and we have been playing outside on the grass, which has been really enjoyable.
In maths, we have been practising multiplication using twos, fives and tens and also a little bit of time work too.
We have been in the forest using sticks, stones, grass and seed casings. With those materials we have made pictures to match the storybook called 'The Weathermonster'. We were collecting minibeasts to put in our containers to observe how they move. No minibeasts were harmed!
During our art lesson, we have been making Great Fire of London pictures with different equipment and sketching too.
We have been melting chocolate in hot water for science to find out if it changes shape, colour or state. The chocolate melted and changed colour and later, we placed it outside to see if it cooled and changed back to a solid piece of chocolate.
We are also enjoying listening to the story of Brave based on the Disney film.
Thank you everybody, have a good afternoon.

Good afternoon everyone,
We have had a lovely week here in class two, yet again!
We have continued learning about the Great Fire of London and in English we tried writing newspaper articles about the event. In maths, we have focussed on time, looking at months, days, hours, minutes and seconds.
In history, we explored the reasons behind why the fire spread in London and why it took so long to put out. It has been British science week this week, so in science we have used the theme of 'Growth' to create beautiful posters that we are going to enter into BSW poster competition. The class had a go at playing Ode to Joy on the glockenspiel this week during music.. We are learning all about orchestras and the different instruments involved.
During PE this week we have had a go at dribbling skills in football and teamwork activities in tag rugby.
All in all a great week - and year two won star table so I'll be enjoying my lunch with the class next Friday!
Have a nice weekend everyone!
Thanks
Mr. H.

Good afternoon,
We have had a very exciting week in year two! The class have loved getting stuck into more Great Fire of London learning and are impressing me with how much they can remember. Also, the class have shown what brilliant mathematicians they are by solving some hard subtraction problems. I have loved seeing the children in PE this week. They have showcased some brilliant skills in both football and tag rugby. What stars you are!
We loved dressing in pink for Eden this week and we are very proud of the money raised to support such a special and local cause.

Hello all and good afternoon,
Welcome back to a new half term!
We have had a brilliant week in year two! We started the week off by exploring our new topic 'Fire! Fire!' and the class are so enthusiastic about The Great Fire of London and 1666. We have looked at amazing books that tell the story and tried to visualise and imagine what London would have been like then.
Later in the week we had World Book Day. What a pleasure! Class Two were amazing and loved all the learning based around the book 'The Secret of Black Rock'. We made predictions, wrote descriptions, created fish, debated the environmental issues around the ocean and tried ours hands at being journalists by writing newspaper articles about protecting the oceans and seas.
Thanks for another brilliant week and enjoy your weekend!
Mr. H.

Good afternoon everyone,
I have some lovely photos to share with you this week.
We headed out into the woodland as a whole class and used Katie Morag once again as a stimulus for learning. Mrs. Pearce read the story Little Izzy and the children learned how Izzy was set a challenge to find clues around the Isle of Struay.
In the end, she made it to a lighthouse for a picnic and we mimicked this in the wild area by making our very own lighthouses and having a mini picnic!
Have a great weekend,
Mr. H.
