Class 2

What a fantastic morning completing Joe Wicks’ Bearpee Challenge.

We stepped up to his target of completing 1000 burpees in each class and have smashed it!

Such great effort by all!

We are so proud to be raising money for those in need.

Class 2 have started their design and technology topic about British inventors. They started by learning about Alexander Graham Bell, the Scottish inventor of the telephone. They then recalled their science knowledge from last year and applied it to a design and technology investigation. They also…

Class 2 have started their new computing unit learning about animation. To kick us off, we have learnt how to make pictures move! How clever are we? Great work everyone!

Class two’s new text is Escape on Pompeii.

This morning we rewrote the section of the story where the volcano erupts and turned it into a play.

There was some fantastic acting ! 

We have been busy in science today investigating different species and why they are endangered. 
We created fact files based on our chosen animal.

We’ve worked so hard on our portal stories based on our class book Leon and the Place Between.

Today we finally completed them and spent time with our proofreading partners to edit and improve our work.

We were looking at some tricky concepts in our maths lesson today but using the manipulatives really helped us.

We used the place value counters to look at adding and subtracting when crossing boundaries. Fantastic maths today.

This afternoon we completed a mini beast hunt in forest school.

We then used classification keys to find out their names and whether they were a vertebrate or an invertebrate.

Today we have celebrated International European Day of Languages.

Each group has discovered how to say hello in a different language. Why don’t you ask us to share our new language with you today.

Class 2 have been looking at how to eat healthily in PSHE. They have looked how the traffic lights on food packaging helps us to make informed decisions about some of the food we may chose to eat. They have also explored and created their own Eatwell Plates. Well done, class 2. 
 

I have seen some fantastic learning in class 2 this afternoon.
We have learnt how to classify by creating keys for our class and then for sweets.

We have created sensible questions to split different sweets and had some fantastic scientific conversations.
