Eagles class opened the first door of their interactive advent calendar from Reading Rocks. The author today was called Jack Jackman and he read a snippet from his novel. He set the children a reading challenge to write about the strangest place they could spend or have spent Christmas. These are some of the children's amazing ideas.
Robot Dreams Trip
Eagles had a visit from the Education Team from HSBC.
We did lots of activities involving how to raise money to make a cake and how to work out different amounts. We also had a giant debit card and played a game to find different parts of it. There was also some jumping around!
This term in Design and Technology we are investigating different types of fabric and will be creating our own fabric faces. We have looked at many different types of materials and textiles. We also have been looking at ways to create hair and make different hairstyles.
This half term Eagles are working on Living things and their environment.
We talked about living, dead and inanimate and spent time working in table groups to sort different things into the correct categories.
Eagles spent the afternoon creating and building Roman Roads on the field.
We looked at the process of digging trenches, lining the trench with larger stones and sticks. Then layered small stones and sand. We then covered it with a layer of mud and made our top surface with leaves. We added kerbsides with sticks. Some even tried to build aqueducts!
We had lots of dirty hands and happy faces.
Eagles have been continuing their Literacy learning. We have had a virtual tour of a French antique shop and been exploring descriptive words.
In computing we have been using our new 'search' skills to research The Romans.
Welcome Back Eagles!
It has been a busy penultimate week in Eagles class, we have finished some of our topic work. In DT, we have completed our rocking boat rides. The children learnt many new skills during this, especially tying knots by themselves, which will help them to tie their own shoes as they grow, too!
Early in the week, was our sports day. All of the children practised really hard, and had a fantastic time showing off their sporting skills! Thank you to all of the families who were able to join us.
A very successful week in Eagles class this week. Congratulations to these students who have all passed another stage on their multiplication. Please continue to practice at home.
In Maths this week we have been learning about 3D shape. We have explored vertices and edges in more detail, using sticks to create 3D shapes of our own and practicing explaining our shape.
This week Year Two have completed their end of year tests. We are extremely proud of all the children who have given it their very best efforts.
On Wednesday, it was time for the long awaited Church Farm trip! The children have been counting down the days for over a month and were understandably very excited to go. Here are some pictures from our day together:
Phew a busy week for the Eagles class.
We have continued our Maths learning on 2d shapes and have been exploring patterns.
We have also started to learn about Northern Europe in Geography and Astronomy in Science. Our first lesson was about the Sun and the Solar System.
Tuesday was a brilliant day, taking part in the Lynnsport day. We played lots of different sporting team games and had lots of fun together.
We have been practising our Spelling and Grammar, as well as continuing with our Phonics.
Please practice your times tables and reading at home.
