Good afternoon everyone!
This week has been busy and brilliant!
We have finally, completed our reading of William Grill's brilliant 'Shackleton's Journey' and found out how the British Trans-Antarctic Expedition finished! It has been some very exciting learning!
Have a look at these barcodes we used in computing this week! They were great fun! The class used a key to work out what the item was then how much the item was, emulating the way IT is used in supermarkets to have prices and codes.

Good afternoon everyone,
The Plot Thickens!
Here in class two, we are loving our topic of explorers and are amazed by the story of Shackleton's 1914 Antarctica Expedition. We are slowly moving through the story and this week discovered that the famous boat Endurance was destroyed by the ice and the crew had to journey on foot to escape the ice! But... how are they going to get home?

In art this week, we have learned about the artist, come explorer, David McEown. The class were in awe of his lovely watercolour artwork, and also of the amount of travel he has undertaken. We have started a gorgeous watercolour project inspired by his Emergence artwork!

Good afternoon everyone,
It has been a busy week here in class two and a very productive one!
The headlines for the week are that in maths, the class have been awesome at weighing and measuring. They have built on last week's learning about centimetres and metres and discovered millilitres, litres, grams and kilograms. See the snaps below to see the great work that was happening in class!

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!
