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.
It was apple day in outdoor learning this week. We gathered up the windfall apple from our trees to make bird feeders and to use it our mud kitchen. We found out that the apples were fantastic to roll down pipes and guttering and tried some of the fresh, juicy apples for our snack!

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 Christopher 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.
Thank you all, have a lovely weekend.
Thanks - Mr. H.

Good afternoon everyone,
It has been a busy week here in class two with Transition day happening back on Tuesday.
Transition Day:
Well done to everyone in Y2 that took part in Transition Day. Miss Watkins was very impressed by your manners and positivity and passes on her excitement to see you all again soon.
Maths:
The class have revisited their learning on time. They impressed me with how much they had remembered of o'clock, half past, quarter past and quarter to times. This week, they challenged themselves to tell the time using five-minute intervals and even used Roman numerals as well!
Geography:
Class two were amazed by the way the seasons differ in timing in Australia when compared to the UK. We looked at how Christmas in the UK falls in the coldest part of our year and how the opposite applies Down Under! Fancy having a BBQ for your Christmas Dinner!
Thanks all,
Mr. H.

Good afternoon everyone,
This week has been split in half by the great British weather! At the start of the week, sun hats and sun cream galore, and now coats are back on and drizzle is in the air.
Starting off with PE this week. On Wednesday afternoon, the class had tennis with Matt from Thongsbridge Tennis Club. They worked brilliantly on their striking skills in the lovely sunshine. Today, they practised their running skills in the hall and had great fun collecting and delivering parcels to one another.
In maths, we have been recapping lots of concepts that we have covered and a highlight of the week has to be the shape hunt around school followed by collecting the data in a table and then plotting that data into a graph. Excellent work all round!
Have a good weekend everyone!
Thanks

Good afternoon everyone!
Well, summer has finally arrived and just in time! Today, we were greeted by lovely sunshine and treated to a gorgeous morning out on the field.
Thank you to all of the parents and families who turned out to support the children today! It was fantastic to see so many people out and cheering along.
Year 2 were amazing this morning and showcased some brilliant skills and stamina. I am very proud of them all and need to say a big well done!
Photos to follow!
Thanks
