In computing today we used the I pads to help us search safely online. We used purple mash to search different topics and apply filters. 

Today we’ve had our first gymnastics lesson. We learnt all different gymnastic shapes including the pike, squat and dish. We had great fun practising our new skills!

Today we’ve enjoyed completing Maths activities for our lesson. We used our addition, subtraction and multiplication skills to solve problems, play games and to create colourful mosaics. 

In our ICT lessons, year 2 have been looking at the artwork of Piet Mondrian and trying to recreate his artwork using the laptops and tablets.  You can see from some of the children’s work that this is an artist who used lots of lines and bold colours in his paintings.

The Puffins had a fantastic time at the Monkey Forest today.  We even saw a baby monkey that had been born overnight.  The children were a real credit to the school and our tour guide told us lots of interesting facts about the monkeys.

Year Two were busy sorting materials according to their different properties in Science this week.  They worked in small groups and had to find objects within the classroom and match theme to the property displayed on the label.  We soon realised that some objects fitted into 2 or more…

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! 

Several of the Puffins are really into reading at the moment.  It is lovely to see virus children bringing in reading materials from home and sharing them with the rest of the class.  Roald Dahl is proving to be a big hit with the class!

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! 

The Puffins were being artists in their ICT lesson today.  They used a package on Purple Mash that enabled them to express their creativity and become Impressionists.  A great effort by everyone.
