Year 2 were practicing their D and T skills this week by creating the most detailed dragon eyes and they look so great close up! Cant wait to put then onto our dragon display, which is already home to fantastic sketch and watercolour dragons.

I think we are going to enjoy case study 2 of this expedition and this was a super start! 👌

Well done

In order to build the vocabulary that year 2 are exposed to, we learnt a great example of a dragon description by heart, using talk 4 writing style.

This allowed us to use ambitious vocabulary in context and then transfer some of the phrases to our own touchdown writing, which I’ve already blogged about how fantastic it is.

I just had to share their hard work and what effort went in to writing such brilliant work!

Well done

Class 9 have enjoyed excavating the school quad today and uncovering some possible medieval artefacts!!!

They used spoons, tweezers and brushes to find what they believe to be parts of old plates and cups and they could have been buried for hundreds of years.

They were very excited to become archeologists today and take on a new role and put into practice the skills that they had learnt about.

What fantastic learning today KS1, well done!

The children at school this week didn’t miss out on all of the fun yesterday and we managed to enjoy the snow a bit too! 😀 🌨⛄

Hope everyone at home had a break from school work and managed to get out in the fresh snow ❄

If you get a spare minute to read these fantastic dragon descriptions, you will be blown away!

The ambitious vocabulary choices, super punctuation and beautiful handwriting and presentation have improved on their good first drafts to create these master pieces.

I am so proud of their efforts and the way that they used the critiques to create a piece of work that they are extremely proud of.

Well done year 2

Thanks so much to everyone that has already encouraged their child to read at home and complete our reading quiz about their book.

Don’t forget that there is a money prize at the end of it and the more quizzes children complete, the more times they can be put into the draw!

Here is the link 🙂

The children have been having a play with lolly pop sticks today to create their own 2D shapes. They have been sharing what they know and using mathematical vocabulary to describe their properties.

Parents challenge 😉

How to help your child’s learning???

Play a game to see if your child can guess which shape you are describing, using mathematical properties, for example…

I have 4 sides, 4 corners, 4 right angles and 2 of my sides are long and 2 of my sides are short. What shape am I?

Some fabulous writing took place today about dragons and we also discovered that our dragon egg had hatched!!! What a fabulous surprise 😮

Great work today year 2
