Hello, This week we have been reading Percy the Park Keeper After the Storm as part of our English learning. We have been sentences in the present and past tense about Percy.

Hello,  This week we made animal rescue vehicles as part of our DT learning. It had to be strong enough to carry an African elephant, move with ease and be attractive to look at.   Today we watched Lime's sharing assembly, it was fantastic!

We included time connectives and imperative verbs.  It was great fun sharing everyone's home learning this afternoon. Some children wrote instructions on how to make a paper aeroplane, building a den, baking a cake and lots more!

Hello,  Today it is NSPCC Number Day so we have come into school wearing a number. Don't forgot this evening is the disco, it's 5:00pm-6:30pm. Today in Maths we had a snack shop. We had to handle real money and find the correct amount of money to pay for our snack. Some of us had to work out the correct amount of change needed. In English we have been writing a setting description about 'The Hunter'. We challenged ourselves to include expanded noun phrases and adverbs.  Today Finlay was awarded Star of the Week for his positive attitude and focus. Well done to Zac who will be spending the weekend with Tweet because Zac is always being kind and helpful to his friends.  During Science we used our team works skills to design and create our own habitat, take a look at the photos on the Year 2 Page.
