In 2L we are enjoying our new History Case Study. Today the children found out all about a significant person in our history, Queen Elizabeth II. We learned about her life and then put important events into chronological order on a timeline.
We learned lots of facts about her. Did you know her favourite castle was Balmoral Castle in Scotland? Oliver thought it would be very peaceful there away from the crowds in London.
Check out our timelines.

We are really excited to see you all back at school after half term. Just a reminder that we are straight into our Fieldwork visits. 2P and 1CU are on MONDAY and 2L and 1CR are on TUESDAY. Please make sure you have the correct day!
Children will need to be IN UNIFORM but please wear appropriate footwear for a walk into the woods, on uneven ground. Also, please have an appropriate coat for the visit. Children will need to bring their own bag for their packed lunches and remember to take plenty to drink. Please remember to provide a packed lunch unless you have ordered one from school already!
2P looked at the Sikh faith and how prayer is an important part of worship. We considered things that we are thankful for and also others who might be in need of help. We wrote our own list of things that might be used as a prayer for those with beliefs. We then looked at the Sikh Khanda symbol. We created our own mosaics using this symbol as a central part of our patterns.

2P have been exploring more about the Kings and Queens throughout History. We discussed why some of them have lived in Castles and then turned our focus to Queen Elizabeth II. We built our background knowledge about key events in her life and then created our own timelines to put them in chronological order.

Congratulations to the Key Stage 1 Pride of Plover winners this week. It was brilliant to hear how you demonstrated such determination and focus in your learning, always working hard and getting smart. Even better still was hearing how kind you all are and how well you use your manners. Well done everyone!

This week, 2P investigated whether their scientific designs would be good enough to protect Humpty Dumpty from being harmed when he falls off the wall. We carried out the fair test and had somewhat disastrous results! Poor Humpty was more than injured by some of our designs! We reflected that the egg needed to be more fully surrounded by soft materials and that maybe a parachute would have been better than balloons.
