We have been researching a range of different under the sea creatures this morning. We were we working collaboratively to create some anchor charts to help us with our non-chronological reports.

How will what I do today impact the World tomorrow?
After an immersion week full of clues we found out our guiding question is ‘How will what I do today impact the World tomorrow” We began our learning by completing a knowledge dump of all the things we already know about sea creatures, recycling and anything else we think might be liked to our expedition. We also thought of some questions we would like to try and find out during our expedition.
Under the Sea
We have been getting crafty today building our classroom environment. We are pretty proud of it – what do you think?
Materials
As part of our immersion week we have been using the iPads to research some of the different materials that are being left in our oceans.
Silly Selfies
This afternoon class five had their first afternoon working with our brand new iPads. We learned how to take photos, view them and delete the ones we don’t want. We went on a scavenger hunt around our school and took photographs of the things we were searching for. We also all screen mirrored our iPads to the tv to share our photographs and our silly selfies!
Amazing work class five – I can’t wait for our expert visitor tomorrow to learn even more iPad photography skills.
No Pen Day Wednesday – 2021
Today in class five we put down our pencils and got talking. We have had a brilliant day of communication and collaboration. Have a look at what we got up to …
We began the day by trying to solve riddles for our early work – can you solve them?
Next we had our Wise Wednesday crew thinking about our pledges to help with our expedition ‘What Will I do to be a hero in my Community?’
Phonics we played some games and got a little bit competitive!
English was some hot seating. We thought really carefully about the questions we would like to ask the characters in our core text – Matilda. We had great fun, getting in role and pretending we were Miss Honey and Miss Trunchbull to answer the questions.
Maths was solving some tricky addition problems using lots of different practical resources.
Year Two Crew – Maths Escape Room
It’s Maths Week in England and we wanted to celebrate! We worked in our crews to solve a series of mathematical problems and challenges to reveal a secret code to enable us to escape!
They were tricky – we had to be resilient and hard working but together we succeeded and all managed to ‘escape’!
Year 2 Collaborative Poppy
Each child then drew around their hand to create one huge poppy that will be displayed in the hall for everyone to see.
Well done Year Two Crew!
Artists in the making …
Class five are showing their resilience this afternoon. They have been studying the art work of Quentin Blake and are now drawing themselves in the same style. I can’t wait to see the finished product!
