The fire service visited Year 2 this morning and talked to us about what firefighting is like today. We compared it to firefighting in 1666 (the time of The Great Fire of London). Elissa got to try on the special firefighting clothes which fitted perfectly! We then all went outside to look at the fire engine equipment and we even got to blast the fire hose!

We have received a letter from the Queen asking us to research about The Great Fire of London and report back what we find out. We have thought of research questions and have used books as well as the internet to do research. We have started to make information books that we will send to the Queen. Ask Year 2 some facts about what happened!

Last week Year 2 started their new topic of 'Fire'. We have been ordering the story of The Gunpowder Plot and learning about how to keep safe on Bonfire Night. We created bonfire safety posters and bonfire collages. We have also written some bonfire poetry using our five senses.

Year 2 have been working hard this morning on their football skills. They have impressed Jess from Manchester United Foundation with their team work and movement skills. Well done Year 2!

Year 2 have written amazing poems about the missing star! They used Twinkle, Twinkle for inspiration and then thought of some lovely adjectives to describe the star. We have created a Space display in our classroom with all of the fantastic poems and super space paintings.

Year 2 have been enjoying their new Space topic. We heard a report that a star had fallen in Dukinfield so we went to investigate. The children found a possible landing site on the school field and have been busy writing newspaper reports!

Year 2 are really enjoying their new superheroes topic. We have recieved some missions from S.H.I.E.L.D. and they have asked us to create some brand new superheroes for their mission squad. Year 2 have been very creative and have designed some excellent superheroes! We have also had a few superheroes come into the classroom from home, they are taking over the classroom!

Last week we celebrated World Book Day and we had a lovely time sharing books together. The outfits were amazing! Luke was our class winner as Fantastic Mr Fox but everyone looked fantastic really. Well done to everyone and a big thank you for all of your support. A special thank you to the lovely Grandparents that came into our class and shared stories with us as well.
