Class 2

Class 2 talked about the Christma story and how Christians get ready for Christmas. We identified 3 traditions that Christians do to get ready: advent calendars, advent wreaths and nativity scenes.

We are Critical Thinkers and Problem Solvers 

In French class two have had fun practising colour adjectives and parts of their face and describing what they look like. They made pillar people and used a writing frame to describe themselves in French.

In Science we've been learning about our bodies. Today we explored our senses by tasting foods and identify the type of taste, rating smells, sorting materials depending on how they feel, guessing the sounds and drawing our favourite places.

For the next 2 weeks, Class 2's English work will surround The Bear and the Piano by David Litchfield. Class 2 are looking forward to finding out what happens next and writing some lovely descriptions about this book.

Today we made groups practically using counters, cubes, teddy bears and shells. This is the beginning of our multiplication unit. Next we will add groups and then year 2 will look at the multiplication symbol.

We had so much fun painting bat boxes!

We had an exciting visit from the animal man today. We played games, learned about bats and painting bat boxes.

In outdoor learning we made animal pictures using leaves, sticks and stones that we collected.
