2012/2013

Class 2 had fun wearing red for Red Nose Day.

 

 

Class 2 enjoyed dressing up as their favourite book character for World Book Day.

 

 

Class 2 visited Combe Martin Wildlife and Dinosaur Park. Everyone loved seeing the Meerkat, owl and Sea Lion Shows. We went on the train ride to Earthquake canyon but we all managed to stay dry!

 

Class Two are learning about dinosaurs this term and in Literacy have made their own non-chronological report on them. They have changed their role play area into a Dinosaur Den, full of dinosaurs, dinosaur eggs and archeologist kit. We have had a talk from a Fire Man and learnt about "stop, drop and roll" and had a cricket coach in to teach us some skills of the game. We threw a baby shower for Miss Graves and played games such as pin the dummy on the baby and seeing who could put a babies nappy on the fastest! On pancake day Mrs Guymer kindly made each of us in the school a yummy pancake. The whole school also dressed up for World Book Day.

2nd Half Autumn 2012

 

The second half of this term has been very busy in Class 2. In Literacy we have been looking at a book called 'The Naughty Bus' and have written our own endings to the story. We have carried on learning about the Great Fire of London and made some delicious bread in class, in a variety of shapes. We painted boxes to look like the houses in 1666 and cut out windows and doors and then went into the car park and set fire to the bakery and watched how the flames spread to the other houses.

 

In Science we have been learning about Electricity and we made a picture which needed a bit that would light up. We used batteries, wire and a bulb to make a compete circuit which would light up our picture. In Design Technology we designed, sewed and made a puppet.

 

This was the first time many of us had sewn! Lastly we have also rehearsed and performed our Christmas play with Class 1 which was called 'It's A Party'.

This term Class 2 are blasting off into space and learning about this topic. They have turned their role play area into a space rocket and are learning about it in many areas of the curriculum.
