Class Two’s Celebration of Learning

1st December 2022Rebecca Kendrew-Jones

It was so exciting for Class Two to take part in their first ever Celebration of Learning with their parents and grandparents this week. The children have worked incredibly hard answering this term’s expedition question ‘How Can We Care for the Bears?’. Why not check out our expedition website here where you can find out all about what we got up to…

We are so proud of our final product and hope you enjoy watching it as much as we enjoyed creating it.

The children certainly deserved to take home their own teddy bear as a lasting legacy of their hard work this term. Well done Class Two, I can’t wait to see what the next expedition has in store!

We are very proud of these mathematicians in class five – they have been working really hard on SumDog and all finished in the top ten spots of our leaderboard!

I wonder who will be in the top ten next time?

We have been designing and making our very own catapults in class this week. We brushed up on our measuring skills and spoke about how to make our experiment a fair one. We had a great time and produced some fantastic products.

We have designed catapults, making sure they include a lever, spring and bucket. We have also made a list of materials we need. We then had great fun gathering materials and making the catapults.
We have also been very busy designing and making our final product for our Expedition. We have designed our very own castle flags and towers and also made knights with moving arms and legs. We are all really proud of our work and have enjoyed learning new skills.

Catapult Extended Study

The children have blown us away with the extended study they have completed this week! Just look at these amazing catapults they have designed and made with their families! We really do have lots of design technologists in class five!

I already knew class five were amazing but they have blown me away this week! The resilience and determination they have shown whilst working on our year two quizzes has been incredible.

FAO Year Two Parents

22nd November 2022Laura Parsons

On January 12th 2023, we will be holding two sessions for year 2 parents. During these sessions we will be sharing with you expectations around year two, what that looks like for you and your child, how we assess in year two and what adjustments can be made to support your child. There will also be time to speak to the year two staff and ask any questions you might have. Please can we ask that siblings and other children don’t attend these sessions. 


If you could return this GoogleForm before 2nd December to enable us to plan and resource the sessions. 


Any queries please let me know, Mrs Parsons xx
