Reception, Year One and Year Two had a brilliant morning participating in Sports Day. The children took part in a range of events and it was amazing to see everyone having lots of fun.
This afternoon we were in for a treat as the school watched the Year 1 Class Assembly. What a brilliant performance! Singing , dancing and amazing speakers. A fantastic way to finish their topic! Well Done Year One!
In Year 2 we had a great time celebrating VE Day!
We started the day by finding out about why VE Day is so important and how it is celebrated. In class we listened to some war time songs and decorated VE Day medals.
We had a brilliant time today visiting Souter Lighthouse. We found out some interesting facts about the place from our knowledgeable guides and we were all very brave climbing to the top of the tower to see the special light! We even had time to squeeze a bit of fun playtime on the grass near the fog horn with our special bear Paddington.
In Computing in Year 2 we have been exploring musical instruments. We have been looking at how to use an ipad to make music and this week we compared real instruments with the ipad bands.
This week Year 2 have been exploring measure in Maths. We have been looking at length, mass and capacity.
Eliza wowed us by bringing in her Blue Peter Badge . She won her badge by sending Bluey drawings and facts about her local area. Well done Eliza! What an amazing achievement!
To celebrate Science Week, Year 1 made wind socks to begin their new topic about the weather this term. We will be using them over the next few weeks to find out the answer to the question ‘Does the wind always blow the same direction?’ We predicted it doesn’t always blow the same way so we will see if our results show this!
As part of Science Week Year 2 have been finding out about a key scientist Charles Darwin. This has made us look closer at the world around us. We have been using magnifying glasses to explore different plants and materials to have a closer look at their surface.
Year 2 made a shocking discovery this morning. They found a letter explaining the pencils had gone on strike! All of the pencils had disappeared from the classroom because they were unhappy with how they were being treated. The children have written letters to the pencils asking them to return and promising they were take better care of them.
