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.
Wow! What a super poppy you have created at arts and crafts club today! We can see how proud of it you are, as is Mrs Leggott and I! Keep up the great work 🙂
Today was eBook day, so Class 7 chose two books to read online. We loved hearing about Harold the Cat and Muffin the Kittens adventures!
Today, Class 7 have been learning about William the Conqueror. He invaded Britain in 1066 and fought in the Battle of Hastings. We learned about the battle through the Bayeux Tapestry. So, what better way to understand it more than to create our own version?
As part of Crew, we helped out with stewardship by litter picking in the quad!
Class 7 have been learning about the different types of castles and worked hard researching facts about them. We learned about Motte & Bailey castles, stone keep castles and, finally, concentric castles! Well done on such super knowledge, Class 7!
Have a great weekend, Class 7! 🙂
Wow! What can I say Class 7? You blew me away with your beautiful work on castles and your focus was tremendous. EVERYONE worked so hard and did a great job. Keep up the great work, guys!
What a great day Class 7 had designing their own crowns, making shields and having a banquet!
We even had chance to have our photos taken in front of our own castle!
Have a great weekend Class 7! 🙂
This week we have immersed ourselves in all things dragons. First we started with our dragon sketches.
Then we completed our dragon eye drawings and painted them with watercolours!
Today, we designed our clay dragon eyes!
Year 2 PE will be on a Wednesday.
Please remember to send your children with the correct PE gear, which is a green/white polo shirt, shorts/leggings and a jumper or jacket if required because of the colder weather, as well as trainers. Please remember not to send children with football/other sports kits! 🙂
We always recommend bringing a bag with your PE kit and having everything labelled with your child’s name.
