The children in 2 Blue have had a great start to the year. We have made messages with counters and flags and looked at various ways of communicating. We have worked on working out the tens and ones in any given number and what it looks like. We have settled in to our new routines and even though there is a little bit more to do, we know we are going to smash Year 2!
In our English lessons this week we have been learning how to read, follow and write instructions. We decided to make chocolate and syrup rice krispie cakes. We followed the instructions very carefully to ensure that our cakes turned out correctly. We then ate them, which was our favourite part!
In English, we created and performed our own Viking poems based on the Viking invasion of Lindisfarne. We tried to make our poems rhyme and included some actions.

Huge congratulations to all of the children in Year 6 who completed their SATs this week.
The children took everything in their stride and worked hard to ‘Be The Best They Can Be‘ across all of the tests.
Well done everyone – you are true Navigators!
We had a fabulous day at the farm. We gave lots of cuddles to animals of all shapes and sizes and fed lots too. It was a fabulous first hand experience for everyone.
As part of our LMTW theme ‘Food Glorious Food’ we have been looking at ‘sweet foods’ We have used the story ‘Goldilocks and the Three Bears’ throughout the week including Drawing Club. The children have been building the bears house using 3D shapes which was part of our maths this week. We talked about which shapes would be the best for building and why. They recreated the story, wrote captions, read instructions of how to make porridge and used their maths skills of full and empty to recreate the porridge scene, also using size to make sure the bears were in the corrects chairs! We tasted honey and talked about how it is a healthy sweet option and why. We then ate a variety of sweet foods and timed how long it would take to eat them. We talked about which took the longest/shortest times and why, using our science skills of how chocolate melts and why. We looked at and discussed which sweet foods are healthy and which are not healthy, ask your children to tell you, they were experts!
We have had a very busy week in Reception. We have been learning about the Easter Story and the build up to Easter. The importance of Easter for Christians and what symbols represent Easter. We have been making chicks, eggs, baskets, chocolate nest, retelling the story of Easter and so much more! Ask us to tell you about Easter and when you are supposed to have Easter eggs!
We have some new additions to Reception! We have frog spawn. We have been observing the changes to our frogspawn and we now have some tadpoles! We have written captions, discussed the lifecycle of a frog, labelled it and used frogs for number bonds of 10 in our maths
Year 2 had a fantastic day celebrating World Book Day! It was fun-filled from start to end.
Our Roald Dahl themed activities included creating The BFG’s dream jars, helping the Mugglewump Monkeys get revenge on The Twits, solving Dahl’s maths problems, drawing characters in the style of Quentin Blake, searching for book covers and, of course, hunting for Golden Tickets and more!
We have had an amazing time celebrating World Book Day! We have spent the day doing lots of fun activities around Roald Dahl’s books. We created storyboards about ‘The Magic Finger’, went on a book hunt around the school, created our own ‘Dream Jars’, went on the hunt for a hidden golden ticket and did lots of fun activities in the hall!
