This week, Year 2 have been measuring using milliliters. We had to read the scale of what the container was going up in and measure carefully by pouring in the water. Thankfully we managed to stay (mostly) dry! Excellent measuring Year 2!
Spellings for our test on Tuesday 2nd May

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 had so much fun celebrating World Book Day last week! We came to school dressed as our favourite book characters. Can you guess who we are?
In the afternoon, we buddied up with Year 6 and enjoyed listening to them read our favourite books. Thank-you Year 6 for reading so nicely to us!
Last week we made some spooky monsters for our board display. We look forward to sharing them with you once they have been finished.
This week we also enjoyed a visit from some very exciting animals. Stay tuned to hear the new facts we have learned and to see some photos from this special day!

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!
