Class 2 have had a special week with several exciting events. On Tuesday they were lucky enough to have a visit from the author Ross Montgomery as well as a workshop at the Cathedral to learn about how the Cathedral changes at Easter time. Both of these occasions were inspirational and engaging and it was wonderful to see the learning that was taking place, as well as the children displaying their prior knowledge. They had interesting questions to ask Ross Montgomery, such as “Why did you want to be an author?” and “What inspired you to write ten delicious teachers?” At the Cathedral the children learnt about why certain images and items were covered in purple cloth, and about the changes of colour in vestments throughout the church year. We also got to see the beautiful pascal candle which will be lit on Easter Sunday, and enjoyed an Easter craft activity too.

Please enjoy some of the photos from our visit and trip this week.

Well done Class 2 for being such enthusiastic learners. Have a wonderful Easter break!

We have had so much fun during Bikeability this week, learning lots of new skills and tips on how to stay safe on our bikes. Please enjoy some photos below.

Last week we designed positive pebbles. We each chose one of the fruits of friendship and designed our pebbles around that theme with a message of what Jesus and the fruits of friendship mean to us at Easter. We hope that they will bring a smile to whoever finds them.

We have enjoyed a varied week in Class 2. We spent some time practicing making food chains in a great game on the laptops during our Science lesson. Ask us to name an example of a producer and a consumer!

In PE we have been working on our racket skills and had to balance a tennis ball on a racket while moving around. It was tricky but we are definitely improving.

We also had a visit from the London Fire Brigade who taught us many important lessons about how to stay safe in a fire. We are going to remind our grown ups to check their smoke alarms once a month and ask them about creating a fire plan for our homes.

We have had a lovely start to our half term this week, it feels like Spring is in the air! Class 2 used their skills to programme beebots to travel round an obstacle course. We have started our new maths topic of shape and enjoyed going on a 3D shape hunt around our classroom, as well as finding out the properties of 2D and 3D shapes. We can’t wait for all the new, exciting things we are going to learn this half term!

Here are some photos of us programming our beebots. Well done Class 2!

What a wonderful term we have had in Class 2. The children have learnt so much and worked hard each and every day. All the adults are very proud of you, Class 2. Please enjoy these photos of us in the winter wonderland that we arrived to on Monday morning. This really got us all in the Christmas spirit!

Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Bring on 2023!

This week Class 2 went to the Science Museum to look at some exhibitions in relation to our Materials topic in Science. We looked at some examples of everyday items and how the materials they are made with have changed over time. There were so many fascinating things to look at! Keep your eyes peeled at our blog for the photos next week.

We’ve had another fulfilling week in Class 2. This week in Geography we identified map symbols in our places and location topic. We enjoyed matching the map symbol to its meaning and drawing our own symbols. We discussed that map symbols are used to help people locate commonly used places when they are using a map. Here are some pictures of us completing our activities.
