Today, Class 7 were able to build catapults with their adults. It was great to see the amazing designs, resilience when assembling them and seeing them in action.
Class 7 have been hard at work today, by writing up a draft of their Three Little Knights story. We have been working hard on making sure that our writing looks as neat as it does in our handwriting books, but now in our Expedition books! Let’s see who will get our special pencils to write with!
Thanks to our Year 6s for reading a story to Class 7! 🙂
This week, in writing, we have been working on the Three Little Pigs. As part of science, we thought that the story linked perfectly to materials and building. We decided to test the best materials to build a house to withstand the Big, Bad Wolf. Some materials were far better than others. Other materials were tricky to build a house with. This required great collaboration, which became better and better as our experiment went on! The wooden and plastic blocks were the best material to use.

Class 7 were lucky to have some Year 5s read us a very funny story during our reading week! 🙂
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, Class 7, we have been learning about religion. We have learnt what religion is, as well as the 6 main religions. We then wanted to celebrate faith day by creating posters around religion!
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.
