We enjoyed using the opinion starters to argue why deforestation is a bad idea. We were very impressed with how many facts we remembered from last week! 

Thank you so much for you kind donations of delicious food. The children were SO excited to try and it was a big thumbs up from us! 

Year 2 were researchers in their English lesson today.  They used iPads to find information about deforestation, in preparation for writing their persuasive letter to the giants.  They recorded their findings on post-its before having a class discussion about their research.  

We started a new genre today, a persuasive letter. We looked at examples and found the features, discussing what they mean. We did a great job! 

We spent our Computing lesson using a painting programme to create our own Impressionist Style artwork. Look at this wonderful example: Night Sky by Izzy 

Today we set our Funky Fingers the challenge of making a dough person, they did a fantastic job, what do you think?

We had an amazing sports day with lots of us getting stickers! Despite it being very hot we had a lovely time and enjoyed being in the sunshine. 

We absolutely loved role playing our new story Greta and the Giants. We completed freeze frames from different parts in the story to make sure we knew the sequence before writing a retell. 

We had a great time looking for objects made from Materials we already knew to start our topic of Everyday Materials. We discovered there was LOTS of metal and plastic outside and more paper, cardboard and glass outside. Next week, we’ll look into their properties to discover why. 

We had an AMAZING time on our trip to the park. We created some brilliant recounts of our time. 

We worked as a group to look at lots of different recounts and decided on the features of the genre. This will help us when we write our own this week!

We had SO much fun using the glockenspiels in today’s music lesson. We learned a simple tune of ‘Twinkle Twinkle Little Star’ to get us used to using them.
