Hooked in and ready for launch!

22nd April 2025Mr Pickering

2P had a great week doing different activities to launch our new expedition – North, South, East and West: Where could your journey take you? We turned our phase into a mini-airport and we prepared ourselves to go on a journey. We all brought our boarding passes to take us on journeys all over the world. We prepared our passports and wrote down the clothes we would need to pack in our suitcases. We then boarded the plane and prepared for our flight! In English, we made mini flip-flops to hook into our performance poem about travelling. We also critiqued the artwork of notable artists who had created self-portraits. This was to inspire us in preparation for our final product. We had a great time and can’t wait to learn what will come next!

Year 2 Celebration of Learning

27th March 2025Mr Pickering

Thank you to all of the grown-ups who were able to join us to celebrate the fabulous work that our children have done this term. Year 2 presented their work for the expedition ‘Ready, Steady, Grow: How can I be the healthiest version of me,’ beautifully and gave really good demonstrations of how to keep healthy. There was a great buzz in the hall as the children set about answering the quiz questions to help them take their grown-ups through their learning journey in the books. Great work Year 2!

Well done to our Pride of Plover winners in KS1. They have set a great example this week to inspire others. It’s lovely to hear about the progress and excellent attitudes toward learning that show how the children represent our Plover Pledge.

Being hygienic to stop the germs!

11th March 2025Mr Pickering

2P have learnt how germs can easily be spread and why it is important that we wash our hands and have good hygiene. We discussed the different ways that we can keep ourselves clean and then did an experiment that shows how quickly and easily germs can spread to each other through contact. Kaya ‘sneezed’ on her hand and then the class all shook hands with each other. It’s amazing how quickly the ‘germs’ spread! We then practised how we can wash our hands thoroughly. We then made posters to share what we had learned with others.

Planting for the future

11th March 2025Mr Pickering

2P has planted a new set of fruit trees on behalf of KS1 to add to our orchard, which we started creating last year. Our expert visitors guided us through the process and we used our learning to help them with the planting. We were able to identify the parts of the tree, the type of tree and then we made sure that the tree had everything that it needed to give it the best chances of growing healthily. Hopefully they will provide us with lots of different fruit in the years to come.

World Book Day

11th March 2025Mr Pickering

2P had a great time celebrating World Book Day. We all wore amazing costumes and even shared some of our favourite books. We enjoyed our story-telling workshop with Phil Sheppard and even got a free book to take home! We shared our new books and loved all of the fun that we had.

World Book Day in 2L

7th March 2025Mrs Lewis

We had such a wonderful World Book Day in 2L. The children looked amazing dressed as their favourite characters and they enjoyed a visit from local author Phil Sheppard. The children all enjoyed choosing a brand new book and some of them literally couldn’t put them down! Don’t forget to use your book token to buy another book, I can’t wait to hear about which ones you choose. Happy reading!

Beautiful art.

4th March 2025Mr Pickering

2P have used our work on Dennis Wojtkiewicz to inspire us to produce watercolour paintings of different fruit cross sections. We worked extremely carefully and used different techniques and brushstrokes to create different effects. We did brilliantly!
