Creative homework – If I ran the country…
As we’ve all had election fever this week, Year 2 imagined what they would do if they won the election and became Prime Minister. Here are some of their ideas.
Ismail even recorded his speech for us to watch and he was very convincing. Quite the aspiring leaders!
Creative homework – Night Time
As we’re learning about night time, the children did a Creative homework showing what they’d learnt about night time so far.
Josh wrote a great poem all about night time.
Ben created a night time mind map with a dark background.
Albert made night time jobs out of Lego!
We also thought about what we didn’t know about night time and, therefore, what questions we’d like answering. Here are a few…
Isaac wondered…
Noorpreet pondered…
Grace asked…
Ripley queried…
Lewis speculated…
Ben quizzed…
Thomas probed…
Ishaan deliberated…
What a curious class we are! I only hope we can find at least some of the answers before we leave Year 2!
Celebration for ‘Nothing’
As we come to the end of our learning about ‘Nothing’, Year 1 enjoyed a celebration event.
During this topic, children have learnt how to look after and care for ‘Nothing’ by keeping him safe and healthy and in turn how they can apply this to their own lives.
Here are some of the comments made by the children to Nothing:
- ‘I like to be friends with you.’
- ‘I like you being our friend.’
- ‘I hope you enjoyed your party.’
- ‘I liked it when you came to my house.’
- ‘I hope you can come to my house.’
- ‘I hope you have a good time at your new class.’
- ‘I hope they make you safe.’
- ‘Remember don’t put other peoples’ medicines in your mouth.’
- ‘Bye, bye, Nothing.’
Phonics sessions
Thank you to all the parents who attended last week’s phonics sessions, the third of three rounds of ‘open mornings’ over the course of the year. Nearly all children had a dad, mum or other relative attend, taking the time to learn more about how we teach phonics and thinking about you can can support at home. Here are a few of the comments:
- “Love these sessions – they are very helpful. It’s amazing to see the class learning and seeing the improvements and progress over the year. Very effective in helping parents to help their children.”
- “The children were so well-behaved and paying attention. Great to understand more about how they blend words and to see how the class is progressing.”
- “Lovely session. Very informative and great to see the children working.”
- “Surprised at the level – much higher than expected.”
- “Loved seeing the techniques used to create sentences and understand them.”
As you can see, visitors found the session entertaining and informative. There were lots of comments about the high level of children’s learning.
Pizza making
Today, we’ve been making our own pizzas. We focused on particular skills such as chopping, grating and slicing. The children were able to use methods such as the ‘The Bridge’ and ‘Claw’ effectively. While the pizzas were cooking, the school was filled with an aroma making everyone’s taste buds tingle! I was particularly impressed with how many offers to wash up there were!
Take a look at our master chefs at work.
