Class of 2023

As part of our theme 'The Place where I live' we visited a local park. We became Geography explorers and learnt how to follow a map to the park. We evaluated the park and thought about what we liked and did not like. We then designed a new park with new equipment. We also developed our art skills…

In Computing we learnt that an algorithm is a sequence of actions. We had to follow algorithms from Mr Fyne and then had a go at giving instructions to move round an obstacle course to pick up and move the ball.

We are continuing to enjoy our PE lessons and learning more of our pirate dance.

In RE we have been learning about the Islamic ritual of Wudu and Salah.

We enjoyed meeting Poppy in class and some of us got to spend some time with her in the library.

In Computing we put our coding skills to test using Fix the Factory app on the iPads. We worked in pairs to try to solve the first levels and had to program a robot to do a task. We had to spot where it went wrong and debug the algorithm without asking an adult and work it out ourselves.

We had a go at drawing our own pirate. We then followed instructions on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X980eXAeyJk to learn how to control our pencil to draw a more detailed pirate with great results. Have a try at home and see how well you do!

Year 2 children celebrated Talk like a Pirate Day. We learnt some pirate phrases and facts about pirates. A highlight of the day was our visit to Aaron Crest to spend time there with the residents. The children enjoyed chatting, reading stories, colouring and playing games. The residents were…

In English we have been reading the story of the Night Pirates. We enjoyed acting out different parts of the story and imagining what the characters would say.

We have enjoyed our first PE lessons as we start to learn a new dance.

We are learning about place value and worked with our partners to learn how to partition numbers into tens and ones, e.g 63 = 60 + 3. See if you can practice this at home with numbers up to 100.

We had to be historians and imagine what it would be like to live 110 years ago. We had to sort the photos into what would be in homes now and what were from homes in the past.
