Good afternoon,
First off, the class have been working hard on learning lines and songs and remembering little bits of stage direction for our upcoming Christmas show. Well done everyone! Keep up the good work.
Today, we had the brilliant M&M productions in school to deliver the Christmas pantomime. They performed Jack and the Beanstalk and the whole school absolutely loved it.
It was lovely to see lots of you in school yesterday for Family Sharing and I know the children loved showing you their workbooks and talking to you all about what they have been doing.
During maths, the class have been learning all about time. They have looked at seconds, minutes and hours and have been AMAZING at telling the time using o'clock and half past times. Today, we had a go at comparing analogue and digital clocks to spot how times are displayed on different devices.
English has been a continuation from last week's Journey work. The class have been using adverbs and time phrases to write creatively and with a narrative structure. Their stories are really coming on!
Thanks everyone, have a good weekend!
Mr. H.

We have started practising our Christmas show songs and the class really focused on projecting their voices.
During maths this week, the class have been using different diagrams to sort data. We have had a look at Venn and Carroll diagrams and then finished off the week with a review of 2D shapes and their properties.
In music, the class had a go at perform a group piece of music based on an animal of their choice. This was inspired by the 'Carnival of the Animals' that we have been listening to.
English learning has been based around 'The Journey' and the class have been brilliant writers using adjectives and varied sentence types to entertain.
Thanks all,
Have a good weekend.

It has tied in very well with of Arctic geography learning. This week, we were looking at the physical features of the Arctic with the likes of sea ice and icebergs reminding us of the Explorers topic from last half-term.
In English, the class have been very productive, writing a prediction about our new book 'The Journey' and then writing about the thoughts and feelings of the main character in the beginning as well as describing the setting.
We have been so busy in the forest over the past couple of weeks that we have hardly noticed the cold. Our story was 'Pumpkin Soup' by Helen Cooper and we have made very creative use of lots of left over pumpkins!

Good afternoon everyone,
Here we are at the end of another fun-filled week in Year Two.
Our English lessons this week have been revolving around some grammar revision. The class have thought about using varied sentences to keep their writing interesting and I have loved reading their writing about monsters using statements, questions, exclamations and commands. They were experts at identifying which types of sentences I was using and ran to the corresponding signs that were out on the playground.
In PE, the class have been working hard at our new learning themes of Prepare, Throw and Catch and Hands, Feet and Equipment. They are using excellent techniques to throw and be ready to receive the ball.
During our DT lesson, the class have started to think about the specification that their puppets will need to fit. We discussed how the puppets are going to be designed for children to use and we explored what materials would be ideal and any safety concerns that the class came up with.
Thanks everyone, have a good weekend.

Good afternoon everyone,
Today was a very exciting day! I came to school and everyone was dressed in unusual clothes! The children were very excited to see what each other had done for Break the Rules day and on top of this, it was also Plant a Bulb day.
We had a little bit of a treat this morning and did some art linked to Harry Potter and Autumn. We have also had a bonus story time at the start of the day.
In Soda, the class had a go at drawing things that they would like to do during the half-term break.
During music and singing assembly we have practiced our Harvest Rock and Roll and Harvest Tango songs as well as our favourite sea shanties like The Wellerman and What shall we do with the grumpy pirate?
We have been reading the book called 'The Ice Trap' this week and we put together a storyboard of the most important parts of Shackleton's adventure.
Earlier in the week, one group headed out into the forest for some outdoor learning and shared the story 'The Room on the Broom' and even had a snack out there!
Have a lovely half-term and HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
Thank you
from Class Two!
