Class 2

The children enjoyed a lovely music session with the fabulously talented Mrs Rock this morning.  They focused on finding the beat, copying rhythm and recognising then beating out the syllables in their names.

We were extremely fortunate in ‘show and tell’ this afternoon as Louis brought in a real antler found on Cannock Chase.  The children were enthralled to learn all about deer and to be able to touch a real antler! 

Wow! What a close contest we had this afternoon when we were joined by St. Mary’s and All Saints for the KS1 Spelling Bee. All the children were fantastic but Class 2 managed to beat the competition and win the trophy! Incredible amounts of hard work, courage and composure culminated in an Anson…

This lunchtime we made positive affirmation rosettes. We celebrated our qualities and wore our affirmations with pride.

We’ve been lucky enough to spend lots of time outside in the shade today, keeping cool by dipping our feet in cool water and reading our story under the trees. One of our class is celebrating their birthday today and very kindly brought ice lollies in for us all to share! They were very gratefully…

We had a lovely lunch time making toilet tube lions! 
 

What a wonderful day we had at the zoo! We saw so many wonderful animals, from tigers to turtles, penguins to primates, we even saw a Gruffalo! 
 

Today we started making carp kites. The children did a fantastic job sticking on all their scales!

Today we explored materials to discover if they were waterproof. We made predictions based on our prior knowledge, then experimented to see if we were right or not! 

We’ve had great fun in class this week exploring position and direction.  The children have been using positional language to direct their friends around the carpet and challenging each other to build matching cube towers based on positional instruction. They all did extremely well!

Class 2 have been exploring how stretchy different materials are today.  They all made predictions prior to experimenting and discussed the merits of each material and how to improve their experiments next time. 

The children are enjoying choosing their own activities this afternoon as a little treat before we break up!   They are busy constructing, balancing, puzzle solving, colouring and completing maths challenges on Numbots!
