This week, as part of reading week, Year 2 visited the library and braved the weather to have a good read. We loved being able to draw on book trees, read with our friends and listen to a good story. Some of us even helped library staff by keeping shelves tidy and scanning books. We loved our trip to the library and can’t wait to go again!
Today we have been learning about ‘ what is religion?’ We have looked and discussed the 6 main religions around the world. We listened to the bible story of ‘Adam and Eve walk with God in the garden’. The children then made posters to consolidate learning.
class 8 have had a lovely session out on the 3G with coach Morgan, working on movement, teamwork and following instructions. They all loved it and learnt new skills.
A huge thankyou to coach Morgan for taking the time to come in and teach the children these different activities.
A huge well done to Sydney for his extra homework on castles linked to our expedition. I love how you have labelled it and the shading too! Great work!
well done to Crew Rodgers for getting 100% attendance last week. Also a huge well done to our crew champions this week, I love hearing how amazing you have all been each week. Well done everyone!
In year 2 we have been looking at taking photos in portrait and landscape style, looking at how we change the effect of the photos and what we can do to improve them.
Great work this week everyone!
Today, Year 2 had a special expert visitor Martin Lamb. Martin spoke to Year 2 about castles and how they were made. He even brought in bricks to let us ‘destroy’ William the Conqueror’s castle. Amongst the ‘destruction’, we learnt many new facts. These included the fact that round castles were harder to siege. We even learned about new weapons such as catapults. All in all, it is fair to say Year 2 loved their expert visitor.
Well done to crew Shaw again for winning the attendance award last week. That is 2 weeks in a row…I am so impressed, please keep it up!
A huge well done to our crew champion winners too…you must have been extra special to be the first ones chosen this year!
All of year 1 and 2 parents will be receiving an email about a visit that we have arranged for the children next half term, which will enhance their current expeditionary learning. Please read and respond to the letter by going onto your child’s parent pay account. We thank you for your support with providing the children with these exciting opportunities.

The children have been learning about William the Conqueror this week and the battle of Hastings. They have created their own version of the Bayeux tapestry to retell the story. Today they moved on to the feudal system from the Middle Ages and we did a bit of drama to support their understanding of who was the most important person and the consequences for being at the bottom of the feudal system. There was some great learning happening this week. Well done class 8!
