Last week, Year 2 went to Coundon Wedge to look for signs of Spring. We had fun in the sun and saw lots of new flowers and some signs of new, baby animals!
Spring Walk
Year 2 London’s Burning WOW Day!
Year 2 had the best WOW day today! We have really enjoyed learning about The Great Fire of London! Today, we participated in lots of exciting activities such as: baking bread, singing songs, using clay, playing games and quizzes using technology and even watching our own Tudor houses set fire on the playground! We all looked fantastic in our costumes too!
On Tuesday 10 children from Year 2 represented Coundon at a gymnastics competition. Miss Ferris and Miss Griffiths couldn’t be prouder of the children’s hard work leading up to the competition and the fantastic way the children represented the school while there! They were fantastic ambassadors! All children performed amazingly on the day and cheered all the other children on!
We look forward to receiving the results, but they should be very proud of their achievements regardless of how they place.
Blakesley Hall Trip
Year 2 had a great time at Blakeley Hall last week. The children learnt all about the great fire of London and engaged in lots of drama and role play. They explored a Tudor house and were lucky enough to engage in many other exciting activities! A great time was had by all!
Indian Food Tasting
Last week Year 2 tried some Indian foods. We tried samosas, pakoras, vegetable curry and naan bread.
The food was very tasty but was pretty spicy! We enjoyed trying new things, despite the spice! Most of us loved the samosas and the naan bread the most!
KS2 Christmas Carol Concert
It was a wonderful experience for pupils, parents and carers from year three to year six to hold Coundon’s Christmas Carol Concert at Coventry Cathedral. The choir were a credit to the school singing beautifully at the front, with a beautiful duet from Ruby and Eva – all brought together with pupil’s readings and a tableau of the first Christmas.
Pizza Making
This week we have been designing, making and evaluating our own healthy pizzas for Science and Design and Technology! We have been investigating the question: can food be healthy and attractive to children?
We have learnt how to chop vegetables, grate cheese and spread puree. Most of us loved our pizzas, so the answer to our question was YES! We had great fun learning 🙂
Art Gallery Video
A huge thank you to everyone for supporting the Art Gallery.
We were blown away by the quality of work and it was lovely to see and hear children’s pride in their art work. The gallery looked professional and really gave status to the children’s work and skills.
Road Safety
This morning, officers Glenn Hartwell and Katie Darby spoke to the children in whole school assembly about road safety. They discussed safety around the school and dangers of speed. They also introduced a competition – look out for more information in the Friday Focus….
Maths Week England
This week we have loved engaging in the Maths Week England activities. We have played TT Rockstars and have taken part in the country-wide competition.
We have been investigating the theme of 3 by tessellating triangles and building tetrahedranes with a Christmas twist.
