Forest Friday

We were really lucky that we it was glorious weather for our Forest Friday session! Miss Manton read a book called Leaf Man, we learnt about how to classify different leaves; simple, compound, finger like and lobbed. Some of us went on a leaf hunt, some of us created feasts in the mud kitchen, some of us made leaf rubbings and some of us drilled holes in conkers to make a conker necklace.

Week three in year 2

We have been very busy in class 2 again this week! We started the week making dragons and reading the story of Kashim and the dragon (a warning tale) we are in the immersion part of our Talk For Writing unit. We have also been learning about the United Kingdom and identifying the countries that make up the UK on a map, completing lots of jigsaws to help us recognise this. We have also been making an information leaflet about England, including the physical and human features. We have also been completing challenges to consolidate our understanding of place value of 2 digit numbers.

We learnt the phoneme t

We found a tent in our outdoor area and enjoyed reading the story of the Tiger who came to tea in it (while eating our snack). We put our phonic knowledge into action when helping the tiger decide what he could take for tea at Sophie’s house. The tiger could only take items that started with the /t/ sound.

We had a tea party, played with trucks in the gravel pit, practised sorting objects according to their initial sound and worked on recognising both the lower and upper case t. We had a go at forming the letter t too.

What a busy morning Class R!

Our First Woodland Wednesday

We enjoyed our first Woodland Wednesday in the glorious September sunshine!

We have had the best morning helping Brown Bear who we found in our storytelling area this morning. Brown Bear came to our school to tell us a story but sadly all of the characters and their colours had gone missing in our woodland area.
Our mission (as worded by one of our Class R pupils) was to find the animals and their colours to put the story back together.

Brown Bear was very pleased to see us working so well with our partners to find the characters and their colours, and put the story back together. We enjoyed the story with Brown Bear. In the end, he was happy and so were we!

We picked the apples from the garden orchard to help us remember our new phoneme. Some of us helped to cut up the apples so we could put them in the dehydrator and make apple crisps. We really enjoyed eating the apples!

Celebrating Roald Dahl Day 2025

We marked Roald Dahl day by reading an extract from The Twits, describing Mr Twit. We then wrote our own descriptions of Mr Twit’s beard and played lots of Roald Dahl games, created great glass elevators from magnetic tiles and designed our own Mr Twit beards!
