Harvest Assembly

In our Harvest Assembly the children read a story: 'The Little Red Hen and the Ear of Wheat'. We looked at our Christian value of Friendship and the importance of sharing and helping each other.
For those of you who weren't able to attend, here are some of the lovely Little Red Hens the children made. They were all different and all special!

Half Term Holiday - Enjoy!

Well done Class 2 for all your hard work this half term. We have had a busy and enjoyable time learning lots of new things. It was great to see so many parents at Parents' Evening and hope you enjoyed the opportunity to look at all the lovely work your children have been doing.
Thank you Alexandra's Dad for coming into school this week to talk to us about Romans and for you kind gift of Roman coins.
Homework this week is in the homework book, both Phonics and Maths. There are also allocated books to read on Bug Club, let us know if you enjoy them.
Have a lovely half term holiday, we look forward to hearing all about what you've been doing.

Week 7 20th October

This week we were investigating which materials were good for keeping things warm.The children were very surprised with the results - The foil kept the water the warmest.

Well done for your hard work in your maths assessments. Some of you got full marks! We have already looked at some of the tricky areas and we will carry on this week.

We have enjoyed looking at the story of Farmer Duck this week and using that to help us write our recounts, making sure our verbs were in the past tense.We shall be continuing this week, reading other stories which are recounts. Don't forget to look out for those past tense verbs in your own reading. 

The children are looking forward to their little performance at the Harvest Tea assembly this week.

Maths and Phonics homework are both in the homework book this week and we look forward to meeting you at Parents' Evening.

What a busy, but enjoyable week we've had this week. You have worked very hard and produced some really good work, especially in your writing. Well done!

Creative Theme Work

Last Friday we began to make drawings in clay, inspired by the 'Lascaux cave paintings' discovered in France
by four boys and their little dog in 1940. We watched a virtual tour of the caves. The children were fascinated and kept asking were they real?!
They took great care with their drawings trying to replicate the ones they had seen. I think they did a great job!

Some children also painted onto paper covered in sand.
What a lovely variety of  ideas!
