Our topic for the summer term is All About Africa.
Next week we will be doing some research about Africa and using the information to write a report.
Why don't you watch this video and see what information you can find out about African animals.
Have fun.
Martial Arts, by Miss Hope
Date: 29th Apr 2015 @ 8:22pm
This week we had a special Martial Arts lesson. We worked in teams, learning to punch and kick safely. We were taught how to hold a punch bag and how to block the punches and kicks. We learnt to count to 5 in Japanese and counted in Japanese as we kicked and punched. We were so fast it was difficult for Miss Hope to take photographs. We really enjoyed our special lesson. Thank you for organising it Mrs Snee.
Designing Fire engines, by Miss Hope
Date: 29th Apr 2015 @ 8:08pm
To end our Great Fire of London topic we designed our own fire engines. We learnt how to make a chassis, how to insert axles and how to put wheels on the axles. We decorated our engines with ladders, hoses and sirens. In our Literacy work we wrote instructions for making a fire engine, so if you'd like to make a fire engine like ours ask one of 2H for the instructions.
Our visit to the Bakery, by Miss Hope
Date: 29th Apr 2015 @ 7:20pm
To set off our topic about the Great Fire of London we visited Blackburns bakery in Cambridge Rd.
We were able to buy some cakes from the Bakery and then enjoyed Afternoon tea back at school that afternoon.
We then set up a Pudding Lane Bakery role play area in our classroom. Playing in the bakery is a favourite activity during Golden Time. Buying and selling playdough cakes has given us practice with adding and subtracting 2 digit numbers.
Here are some photographs of our visit to Cambridge Rd.
World Book Day 2015 in 2H, by Miss Hope
Date: 29th Apr 2015 @ 6:46pm
On World Book Day we all dressed up as a Dr Seuss character. We read The Cat in the Hat book and enjoyed lots of literacy activities about the book.
We tried to recreate this picture of the cat balancing on the ball.
