Local Geography - Where in the world do we live?

This week, we have been exploring 'Where in the word do we live?' We used Google Earth on the ipads to explore our local area and identify key features, making links between what we can see from above and what we see on the ground using the street view. We then used an ariel print out of our school and the local community to identify as many features that we could. We loved using Google Earth! 


Where will our Adventure take us?

Happy New Year everybody! I hope you have had a lovely Christmas and New Year. We will be beginning the New Year with our topic 'Where will our adventure take us?' During Spring term 1, we will be exploring Piracy. We will be taking part in a Pirate themed day on Tuesday 6th February. Your child can come to school dressed as a Pirate on this day and we will be taking part in lot's of cross curricular activities. Please see our Spring term 1 medium term plan for our curriculum overview and the creative home learning grid for some fun cross curricular activities to complete at home.


Healthy Wraps

Today, as part of our design and technology focus, the children used their cutting, folding, grating and peeling skills to create healthy wraps. The children were encouraged to try new foods to help their understanding of a balanced diet. The children ate their wraps and evaluated them. Brillliant job year 2, some noticable cooks! 


Great Fire of London Outdoor Learning

Year 2 enjoyed cooking damper bread and making s'mores as part of their topic The Great Fire of London. The children made houses based on the wooden ones from Pudding Lane and we found out how quickly the fire can spread from one house to another when they are close together.
