Year 2 have worked extremely hard today to become meteorologists.
We started by looking at the seasons and how the weather changes in each season. The children then worked in collaborative groups to make their own weather forecast which they then rehearsed and recorded.
I’m sure you’ll agree that they have done a fantastic job! Mrs Chadwick and I were blown away by you all.

Evie blew us away today in Class 5 – she has been busy over half term producing her very own book about sea creatures. I was so impressed with how she confidently shared her learning with the whole class – what a superstar ⭐️

Today we were Persevering Parrots with some new vocabulary as part of our Geography case study for our expedition – How will what I do today impact the world tomorrow?
The children used dictionaries and iPads to find the definition of their words and then came up with the characteristics, examples and non examples.
We then took it in turns to present our knowledge about our new word to the rest of the class – everyone did a fantastic job! Well done Class Five.

Well done, you were persevering parrots especially when using the dictionaries!
Feature Detectives
Class Five spent their reading lesson this morning exploring The Big Book of the Blue. We looked at lots of other non-fiction texts and picked out the main features – we talked about features like contents pages, the index and subheadings.
Being Geographers
This week Class 4 went on a scavenger hunt to find anything that links to geography. We discussed what geography means and looked at maps, atlases and earth globes to learn about coninents and oceans.
We’re going on a windmill hunt…
Today we decided we wanted to find the windmill that Class 1 had told us all about. We thought about our core text this week – Hansel and Gretel and realised that we could make a trail whilst we hunted for the windmill. It was cold, but we wrapped up well and set about finding the windmill. We had so much fun and cannot wait for our next adventure!
Today we wanted to be just like Hansel and Gretel… 
We looked at different things that we could leave just like Hansel so that we didn’t get lost… 
We thought brightly wrapped chocolates would make a fantastic trail… 
We all got a chocolate… 
We thought about which way we would walk… 
And discussed who would go first! 
We were searching for a windmill… 
We began to lay our trail… 
We followed as each person placed their wrapped chocolate down… 
Up a hill… 
All the way to the top.. 
We looked all around us … until… 
We found it! In the distance – a windmill. 
We followed our trail all the way back to the playground, collecting a chocolate each as we went!
Story time
We have enjoyed reading the story of Hansel and Gretel. We went into the woods for a special story time.

Special People
We have been thinking about people who are special to us and have talked about why they are special to us.
We have been busy creating gifts for some of the special people in our lives.
We are geographers in Class 3
This week we have been considering the question ‘What is geography?’ We took part in a scavenger hunt around school to photograph clues that helped us to answer the question. We studied a variety of maps identifying their features and finally located the 7 continents and 5 oceans of the world.

Gingerbread houses artwork
Our Nursery children have been creating artwork inspired by the ‘Hansel and Gretel’ story. They have been using different sized brushes to add detail to their beautiful work. Well done everyone!
