This Year we are extremely lucky to all have our very own  iPads in class. Today we had some fantastic training, teaching us how to use them to further enhance our learning. Using the story of Little Red Riding Hood, linked to our writing text, we learned how to record our voices and add them to…

Year 2’s first session, we explored our out door area hunting for leaves, twigs, birds, rocks, flowers and bugs! We had great fun!

This half term our focus is on gymnastics. This week our learning intention was how can you track in different ways. We started off with a game called Astronauts to warm us up. Here we focused on different ways to travel. Once we were all warmed up we moved onto recapping the different jumps we’d…
