Shrinky Dink

What a great way to end our week, we added our first vegetable to our keyrings. After a week of learning all about spinach, critiquing and redrafting our outwork we were finally ready to transfer our final drafts onto the shrinky dink paper. It was so exciting watching them shrink in the oven and adding them to our keyrings.

Spinach

We have been busy today thinking about our first vegetable. We have researched spinach and added the information we have found to our graffiti wall. We looked at a model text and identified the important features and we all showed courage and tried some spinach! We are looking forward to getting our next drafts of our art work onto shrinky dink paper and add it to our final products!

Funky Fruit Tasting

Last week Class Six had a blast kicking off our spring expedition “Ready, Steady, Grow! How will I be the healthiest version of me?” trying a rang of different fruits. From oranges and bananas to passionfruit and avacado, we tried it all. The children showed courage, trying fruits they weren’t sure about or didn’t think they would like.

Fruit Tasting

We have been showing courage this morning tasting lots of different fruits that we have read about in Handa’s Surprise. We thought carefully and used our anchor chart to describe the different fruits.

We pulled some funny faces trying some of the sour fruits!

What Lies Within The Castle Walls?

Y2 have kicked off our Autumn expedition in style with a fun filled week of activites. To start the week, we had an exciting visit from an expert – Mr Lamb!!

We have been artists. We spent the week creating stained glass windows, castle flags, clay shields and tissue paper torches. We have also been looking at the story of Cinderella, thinking about the characters and of course Cinderella’s glass slippper. To finish the week we threw a party fit for princes and princesses – all the children came dressed to impress with their own crowns and played party games, ate buns and revealed our title and guiding question.

It has been lovely getting to know the children over the last two weeks and we are so excited to full jump into our expedition!
