Class 2

The children had a great time playing the glockenspiels today. They worked extremely hard and played their instruments beautifully.

We enjoyed an immersive English lesson today as we delved into the world of performing arts. The children read their parts with fabulous expression, concentrating on volume and pace as well as some imaginative gestures!

We’ve had a lovely afternoon learning about Shrove Tuesday, indulging in pancakes and a few Valentine’s treats too.

We’ve had a wonderful morning reading with Class 4. The children read together and shared in the joy of books!

In our PE lesson with Miss Jarrett today we used the equipment to show our balancing and transition skills. It was so much fun and we were all very sensible using the equipment safely. 

We’ve had a lovely afternoon exploring shape, texture and shadow. Challenging our ability to observe and record, mark make and create. We’ve got some wonderful artists in Class 2!

We’ve had a great afternoon exploring shadow. We looked at what a shadow is, how it is made and then had a go at drawing some.  It was not easy but the children did a fantastic job!

Today we planted out our seeds/seedlings into compost. Some of the seeds have germinated beautifully whilst others have hardly changed at all.  It’s been a great visual example for the children to see that even given all the right conditions, not all seeds will continue the life cycle.

We’ve had a wonderfully expressive afternoon creating self portraits in the style of Picasso. The children focused on mark making, composition and colour. They created some fabulous work!

We’ve been busy in Computing today learning all about ‘commands’. The children had a great time programming their robots with their chosen commands and then watching them go!

We enjoyed a wonderful Science lesson this afternoon, learning all about how seeds change over time. We did an ordering activity, pretended to be seeds and grew as Mrs Cooper watered us and finally planted seeds of our own so that we can watch them grow!

Year 1 got busy with the rekenreks this morning, cementing their knowledge of place value.
