To finish our English units for this term class 2 have been looking at a lovely little festive poem called ‘The Lonely Christmas Tree’.

The children have been refining their reading skills by making predictions about the text prior to reading it, retrieving key information and looking at the…

Class 1 were fabulous in their Nativity performance on Tuesday!

They had lots to learn and remember but they were all fantastic, they should all be very proud of themselves well done!

This week we have been reading performance poetry from the book ‘Talking turkeys’. We followed the style of the author Benjamin Zephaniah and wrote our own humorous poems to persuade someone to not eat part of their Christmas dinner (sprouts were a popular choice!). Here are a few to share with…

Today we used the iPads to research facts about different countries, such as their currency and famous landmarks. We then compared them with the UK to see how many similarities and differences there are. 
 

Elvis has arrived here in class 2 and already causing chaos!
