This week, we had Laura from the Waste and Recycling Centre come into school to talk to us about the importance of recycling and to help us understand what can and can’t be recycled. We then used recycled materials to create our own Christmas baubles♻️

 

We were so proud of our baubles – we can’t wait to display them on our Christmas trees!!

This week we have been reading to story of Stickman, a creature who ends up getting lost when he goes for a run. He longs to be home with his stick lady love and their stick children three but unfortunately he gets lost and used as many different items.

We discussed the different ways stickman is used during the story and how he might be feeling when this happens.

I’m not a Pooh stick! – Henry

I am not a bat! – Lucas

I am not a boomerang – Eden

Stickman is mad because everyone is using him wrong! – Aria

Stickman is sad he lost his family – Gray

We then created our own stickmen, they all look brilliant!

We Are All Different!

14th November 2024Chloe Smith

This week in PSHE, we have been thinking about how we are different to our friends. We talked about what it means to be different and how amazing it is that we are all different to each other and how it makes us unique. We then discussed ways we can be different and worked with a partner to think of ways we are different to each other

📖📚 World Book Day 📚📖

By A Aldcroft8th March 2024

Class 2 have absolutely loved celebrating World Book Day! Our theme was ‘The Circus’. 🎪🤡

We read the story ‘Ninja Nan’, all about a Nan who runs away to the circus leaving her grandson a letter explaining where she’s going. We decided we want to run away to the circus! We wrote a letter to our loved ones explaining where we are going and what we are going to be at the circus. We are improving massively on our handwriting, sentence structure and keeping our writing sitting on the line!

 

We also had a super special visitor from the circus come in and teach us various circus tricks. We had a go at each one and had such a fun time!!

🐣🐛🐑🌤 SPRING 🌤🐑🐛🐣

By A Aldcroft29th February 2024

Our new topic for this half term is Spring!
This week we begun talking about the changes which occur during spring. A lot of the children noticed the sun had been shining a lot recently, but it was still very cold outside. But they knew Spring is on the way!

We have opened our farm shop as well as our small world farm, we are looking forward to developing our vocabulary around all things Spring!

What’s in the box?

By A Aldcroft11th January 2024

This week we discovered a mysterious box in our classroom. It had ‘danger’ and ‘caution’ signs on so we knew it must be something dangerous!! The box came with some care needs, after reading the care needs and noticing the air holes we knew whatever was inside was alive! But what was it?
Class 2 impressed me so much with their imagination, they suggested the creature was a:

🦖 a green lizard

🦕 a huge spider

🦖 a colourful butterfly

🦕 a huge dinosaur

🦖 a huge, green beast

🦕 a bug, bad witch

 

We decided we need to make wanted posters, describing this creature in case anyone else had seen him creeping into our school!

The next day when we arrived at school we found the feature had escaped from the box!! A DINOSAUR😵

Class 2 came up with the idea that he was a baby dinosaur who was a bit scared looking for his Mummy, they have been amazing at looking after him. They even thought about some names for him and wrote them down.

🌟The 360 Spin

🌟The Angel of the North

🌟Spin the Penny

We had so much fun learning a new skill!

Weather Vanes💨

By Chloe Smith20th October 2023

As part of our topic ‘Weather and Seasons’ this half term, we have been looking at weather vanes in our D&T lessons. We started by looking at what a weather vane is before designing our own and then creating them using cups, straws, pencils and paper.
We then took them outside to test them out – luckily it was a very windy day!💨
