WOW Day!
Year 2 London’s Burning WOW day!
Today Year 2 had a super time learning more about the Great Fire of London. We enjoyed baking bread like Thomas Farriner this morning! After that, we recreated the Great Fire by lining up our Tudor houses on the playground in the style of Pudding Lane. These houses were then set on fire! We watched as the fire spread and burnt all the houses down. Throughout the day we also learnt about fire safety and sang songs about London burning. Please take a look at some photos from the day and check out our TEAMS page to see some videos too!
Selly Manor Trip
Year 2 trip to Selly Manor
Our Year 2 pupils had an amazing time at Selly Manor Museum, finding out all about how people used to live in 1666. The children were able to look inside a variety of rooms and handle various artefacts from the era. They even took on the roles of famous characters from the period, dressing up and acting out the main events of the Great Fire of London. A very interesting and informative trip!

The Very hungry Caterpillar
We have been learning about the story of ‘The very hungry caterpillar’ We have talked about the lifecycle of the butterfly, healthy eating and learnt our days of the week and how to make repeating patterns.
Week Beginning 27th March 2023
This week we are continuing with our topic of Spring and are looking at the Christian celebration of Easter. We are learning about the different ways that Christian’s celebrate Easter and are learning about the significance of items linked to Easter such as chocolate eggs, hot cross buns and Easter gardens. We will be learning about the Easter story and why Christians celebrate this time of year. Throughout the week we will be doing a range of Easter activities such as making Easter crowns and cards, tasting hot cross buns, singing Easter songs, making chocolate nests and will be finishing the week with an Easter egg hunt.
Please continue to read every night at home. This gives your child the best support in helping them to move forward with their phonics. The continuous practise allows your child to reinforce the learning done at school by applying what they have learned to their reading. By re-reading the same text it allows your child to build both pace and fluency which will help them become a confident fluent reader. Please also remember to do your ‘Reading wise’ activities as extra phonic practise. Below are some videos to practise some of the set 2 sounds.

This week in Maths we have been consolidating this terms learning. We have been focusing on our number bonds to 10, playing different games to practise using our number bond facts. Keep learning the number bonds at home. Can your child tell you all the different ways that make 10? If confident with their number bonds see if they can tell you the corresponding subtraction fact e.g. 7 +3= 10 so 10-7=3. We have also been recapping our 3D shapes as the children are finding this difficult. Can your child name the 3D shape and tell you some properties such as shape of the faces, number of vertices, does it roll?
School finishes on Friday for the Easter holidays. Your child will bring home their bean stalk plant this week. Please replant at home and look after it. As it grows please take a photo and email it in to us so we can show the class and see how they are getting on.
Have a wonderful Easter break. We are looking forward to a busy summer term once we are back and seeing even more progress with your children’s learning and development,

Roman Day
On Friday 24th March, Year 4 held a Roman Day. In the morning, we learnt about the intricate mosaic designs that would have been found in the Roman times. We created our own Roman Helmet mosaics, even something this small required a lot of patience!
During the afternoon, we recalled information about the Roman Army and what made them so successful. We practised some of their defensive battle formations, using the shields we had made for homework. These included; The Rebel-Cavalry, The Orb, The Wedge and The Tortoise.
Once we had practised these, the 2 classes took it in turns to attack or be attacked…
Attack!
After all of that battling, it was time to feast.
