As part of Number day we came to school wearing numbers. We bought in board games that involve numbers including Snakes and Ladders and Uno. The children enjoyed playing ‘Hit the Button’ games on the interactive white board to practise number bonds to 10.

Week 4 ‘Oi Get Off Our Train’

Last week we looked at the text, ‘Oi Get Off Our Train’. The children used the big wooden blocks to build their own train to ride. They also used their maths knowledge to create a repeating pattern train print. The children also acted out the story with masks using the repeated refrain of, ‘Oi get off our train’, every time a new animal boarded the train. They also tested their construction skills when they had to raise the train track up using blocks.

Week 3 The Great Explorer

In week 3 this term we looked at the story, ‘The Great Explorer’. The children made boats from playdough, igloos and practiced their maths skills with the penguins. The children also looked at the globe just like the Great Explorer did before he set off on his journey to rescue his dad. The children also enjoyed using their fine motor skills with giving the snowman his features.

Year 3 Narrative

This week, year 3 have published and written their narrative based on the Wellington Cobbler and The Wrekin Giant. The children worked so hard to include the grammatical features taught throughout the unit.

Please enjoy reading over a selection of the children’s work:

NSPCC Number Day in Year 2!

As part of number day, children came into school wearing clothing with numbers on! We bought in number games and had such fun playing them. We played games such as UNO, Top Trumps, Hit the Button, Snakes and Ladder and our favourite… BINGO!

Year 2 DT Workshop!

As part of our London topic, we have been looking at famous London Landmarks. In DT we have been researching and making winding mechanisms. We then went on to apply this to creating the Tower Bridge with a winding mechanism. We invited our parents and carers in to help us make the Tower Bridge.

We think that they all look amazing! Thanks so much to our Year 2 parents and carers who joined us at our DT Workshop. Here are some pictures of our workshop and some of the final products!
