Marble rolling and leaf rubbings
Today we stayed inside for Forest School as it was so cold outside. We used conkers and paint to create pieces of art using conker rolling and we also used dry leaves to create leaf rubbings. We had lots of fun!
Forest school - tied up in knots
Today we had lots of fun during our first Forest School session. We used sticks to create our very own pictures frames. We used string to attach the sticks together and worked hard to tie the string and make knots. Once completed we took pictures using our frames. We can’t wait for next weeks…
Super shapes!
Today we have been looking at the number of sides a 2D shape has. We worked hard to investigate what 3, 2D shapes we could create using only 15 lolly sticks.
Letter Larry
Today we identified the features of a letter with the help of Letter Larry. We used talk for writing to help us recall the key features.
Hot seating!
Today we used freeze framing to re enact key elements of the story. We then created a bank of questions to ask Plop and used this to complete our hot seating.
Super subtraction
Today we used base ten to help us in subtracting across the ten. We used the base ten to help us with our understanding of exchanging.
Amazing I pad art!
Today in computing we used a paint programme on purple mash to create our own hedgehog, linked to our non chronological report in writing. The children worked extremely hard and paid great attention to detail. What super stars

Today we researched lots of wonderful facts about hedgehogs to help us with our non chronological report. We focused on their appearance, diet and habitat. We even found some fascinating wow facts too.
Features of non chronological reports
Today we worked together to identify the features of a non-chronological report. We also identified the Year 2 skills to be included.
Exploring computers
Today in computing we used the programme word. We used the different tools to edit our writing changing the size, colour and style.
Amazing artists!
Today we have been exploring different mediums. We have used pencils/handwriting pens to complete observational drawings of the objects we collected last week to create replicas of Andy Goldsworthy’s work. Today we focused on continual line drawing and the results were fantastic.
Incredible I pads
This Year we are extremely lucky to all have our very own iPads in class. Today we had some fantastic training, teaching us how to use them to further enhance our learning. Using the story of Little Red Riding Hood, linked to our writing text, we learned how to record our voices and add them to…
