Geography Club!

26th January 2023Alishia Pearson

We are loving Geography club. This is our 3rd week. So far the children have told me in some discussion activities what they think Geography is about, then the children did some research and had to make a poster answering the question ‘What is Geography?’.

Today, we looked at the Earth and discussed what we think it’s like on the inside, some thought it was all liquid, some thought it might be spongy. We found out that it is actually made in layers and these layers are all made of different things! Here they are making a collage model of their learning this week. And they did a fabulous job! We can’t wait for next week!

Class 11 peer critique! 📝

26th January 2023Simon Gerrard

Yesterday, Class 11 critiqued each others scientific reports. We worked collaboratively to ensure that our feedback was specific and accurate to push each others learning on. Here we are in action!

Keep an eye out when we’ll pick our favourite pieces of work and some of the most beautiful!

Class 10: Conductors and insulators.

25th January 2023Alishia Pearson

Testing items around the classroom to see if they were good conductors or insulators was great fun! The classroom had a brilliant buzz (pardon the pun). After making their hypothesis and predictions about the experiment, they cracked on with testing and gathering results. Ask them at home what a conductor or an insulator is and what materials they are. You could also ask them what we mean by a complete and incomplete circuit, I bet they will be excited to tell you, if they haven’t already!

Class 10: curious about circuits!

25th January 2023Alishia Pearson

We have all loved creating and learning about series circuits – the children even managed it all in their own through pure curiosity! I then challenged them further by giving them a switch and an extra wire to see what they came up with.

From there, I then gave the children the task of writing a specific set if instructions on how to build their circuit. This would then be used to support their writing of a scientific report later on. They absolutely smashed this and produced some fabulous writing! We are so proud.

Class 13 – Adding Fractions ✏️

25th January 2023Jake Taylor

In maths today we have been looking at adding fractions with the same denominator. We have worked collaboratively to try and reassemble the tarsia before moving on to our independent tasks. All of the clash smashed it today so why not test them with some questions!

Class 13 – Electricity 💡

25th January 2023Jake Taylor

In our first case study, we have been investigating different materials. We have been learning about conductors and insulators and seeing which materials allow electricity to flow through them. We established that items that were made out of metal were really good conductors and other items such as wood, plastic and glass were really good insulators.

year 2 family learning

25th January 2023Aime Shaw

A huge thank you to all of our year 2 parents who came along today to support the children in year 2 with their exercise and fitness!

I was blown away, not only by the fact that all children were fully involved but also by the amount of parents and grandparents that joined in (and dare I say enjoyed our zumba class?)

We saw lots of smiles, laughing and some really great dancers! A special shout out to all of the dads that got involved too, you were awesome!

Thank you so much for supporting your children’s learning as always, we really do appreciate it!

I need to also give a shout out to Mrs Rayner who not only taught some very complicated dance moves to 60 children but also to our parents too- you were amazing!

Thanks, Mrs Shaw and the year 2 team x x

Collaborating to strengthen our Nursery community…

24th January 2023Elizabeth Hay

Today we collaborated as a Nursery Crew to create a piece of art work. Children came and went throughout the morning to add, adapt and develop the art work and together we created a beautiful piece to strengthen our nursery community. The children worked so hard to create beautiful work with great focus and determination. I’m so proud of you Nursery Crew!
