Autumn Raffle
Arise, Sir Martin. Y1’s Special Visitor.
We were very lucky today to have a visit from Sir Martin of Lamb, a knight from medieval times, who came to tell us all about castles and what it was like to live in one! He was very impressed with the children’s knowledge and we all got a chance to attack different types of castle walls to find out which one was strongest. The children had lots of fabulous questions for Sir Martin and loved having him visit.
Thanks so much for coming!

Class 12 – Vocabulary in reading
Another really lovely reading session today. Selecting a range of new words from the new sections of our class text. Today’s leaning had a shared responsibility. Each table group had to use dictionaries to find definitions of two words they picked at random. Then they needed to write the definition and the word used in an example sentence ready to share with the full class at the end. We the collated our learning at the end for a shared learning experience, you can see it captured half way through (but I forgot the final picture!!) Smashed it guys, great work all.
October Half Term Holiday Camp
Class 12 – BBK for the Blitz
Leading their own learning for our Blitz learning. Having several questions around the room and an information sheet they got to work working, each question built up their knowledge gradually for them to be able to recall back to me at the end of the lesson.
Class 12 – vocabulary in reading
Class 12 are really impressing me in our reading lessons. This one was focused on vocabulary. Here the children had to match a definition to the correct word. All words have been selected from our focus text. When the definitions were matched and checked they then set to work using the new vocabulary in their own sentences, allowing me to see if they were able to use the words in the correct context. Great job guys!
Year 2 G Block Computing
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!
Year 2 – Martin Lamb Castle Talk!
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.
Crew Spetch – Extended Study
A huge shout out to our Crew Councillor Letti and Rowan for completing this weeks Extended Study Task. They have both drawn a poster with information about their favourite books to recommend them to a friend. These will look fab in our reading area!
Well done guys!
