Welcome to Class 2

Welcome back! We hope you all had an amazing break and are ready for the busy year ahead. The children have settled well into the new routines and are impressing us already with their independence and hard work.

We have lots of exciting things planned and this term we will be exploring our new topic 'Little Lords and Ladies' which is all about castles. We will be making our own castles, finding out about famous Kings and Queens and designing and making gingerbread. Please see the curriculum letter for more information about the topics covered this term.  

Trip to Peckforton Castle and The Candle Factory 

We had a fantastic day dressed as knights, princesses, princes and jesters. The children really enjoyed exploring the castle and getting to see the wine cellar, stables, kitchens and great hall. They did an excellent job at spotting features we have been learning about in school on Peckforton Castle. 

The Dragon Machine                                                                                                                                                                                                       

Class 2 have had a fantastic term learning all about castles and sharing our story 'The Dragon Machine.' The children have been finding dragon clues around the school and using these to support their writing. The children have created their own mythical creatures and produced some amazing stories based on their adventures! 

We have also been looking at castles and their key features and creating our own castles in D.T

What a fun term we have had!

Diversity week

We have had a fantastic week celebrating different beliefs and cultures. We started the week with a visit from Ann who taught us all about the Jewish Community. The children enjoyed trying the grape juice and learnt a lot about Judaism from her stories. 

We then had a visit from Prajyoti who taught us Pushpunjali dance. We loved learning a new style of dance and observing the stories of Gods and Goddesses brought to life through hand gestures and facial expressions.

A great week had by all!
