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!
The class have enjoyed writing letters to Shackleton from the perspective of his family and I must say, I am very impressed with their work this week. Well done all.
In maths, the class have been practicing their number bonds knowledge and their times tables on a fun game called Funky Mummy! See the link below if you would like to give it a go!

Good afternoon everyone,
It has been a busy week here in class two and a very productive one!

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 grams and kilograms.
During our English learning, the class have written up in best a lovely diary entry from the point of view of one of the crew on Shackleton's expedition.
We have also had a treat by tuning into the NFU's yearly Harvest Live event and learned a lot about how food is harvested and got to learn a little about food from other cultures.
Thanks everyone,
Mr. H.

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 also learned about Neil Armstrong and his part in the moon landing.
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 lots of other balance related activities.
In art, we have been working on a landscape tree drawing and looked at an artist called Helen Robinson for inspiration.
The Rainy weather didn't stop our outdoor learning this week. We read a great story about a helpful hedgehog and collected natural materials to make our own. We found some clever ways to collect the water, worked together to excavate dinosaur bones and even had an impromptu music festival.

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.
What a lovely sunny morning in the forest! We harvested some apples and enjoyed using them for rolling, cooking in the mud kitchen and of course, eating for our snack! We saved some of the pips to plant so hopefully we will be able to watch our own apple trees grow. There was weaving, an archeological dig and we used blackberries to create some fabulous artwork.
Thanks and have a good weekend!
Mr. H. and Class 2!
