Researchers in action
Year 2 were researchers in their English lesson today. They used iPads to find information about deforestation, in preparation for writing their persuasive letter to the giants. They recorded their findings on post-its before having a class discussion about their research.
Feature Magpies
We started a new genre today, a persuasive letter. We looked at examples and found the features, discussing what they mean. We did a great job!
Incredible impressionists in ICT!
The Puffins were being artists in their ICT lesson today. They used a package on Purple Mash that enabled them to express their creativity and become Impressionists. A great effort by everyone.
Dough people
Today we set our Funky Fingers the challenge of making a dough person, they did a fantastic job, what do you think?

Editors at work!
We’ve been editing our recount of our trip to the park. Everyone was able to find something in their work that could be improved and some children went into even more detail about our little adventure.

A wonderful walk in the sunshine!
