Some of our Y2 children have had a fun filled Christmas spectacular at Laurel Academy today. Lots of Christmas games, skills and dancing. Ended with a kind gift from the Grinch! #LovePlover

Yellow crew disco!
Yesterday, yellow crews enjoyed a belated reward for their efforts during the summer term (you may recall we postponed it due to bad weather), in the form of a disco! The children had a great time and should be proud of how hard they worked at their HoWLs during the summer term to earn this reward.
It was also lovely to note that all three crews received an award for coming top of crew coins for the terms of last year. āŗļø

Expert Engineers
Today as part of our expedition, āRags to Riches: What lies Within the Castle Walls?ā, the children in KS1 enjoyed meeting our expert Mr Mitchell who taught the children about levers. We have been learning about how castles were defended and attacked and our expert showed the children how to make catapults. The children had great fun launching their payload of pom-poms!
Thank you for coming in to help us Mr Mitchell!

Athletics Tournament
Asking questions about the past.
2P have been using evidence to be detectives about the past. We looked at paintings of different roles that existed during times that castles were lived in. We looked for clues as to the clothes that were being worn and the objects being held. We used this to help us work out some of the key differences between rich and poor people at these times.

Our visit to Sandall Beat Woods
Year 2 had a brilliant day learning more about castles in Sandall Beat Woods. We started our day with campfire cooking where we made vegetable soup and flatbreads. The children absolutely loved the soup and some even went back for thirds! We enjoyed toasting apple slices in cinnamon sugar and then we made sāmores. We were already quite full by the lunchtime.
In the afternoon we made our own armour out of milk bottles, built a fort and had a flour bomb battle before we set off back to school.
We had a great day in the woods learning about defending castles and cooking in a castle but weāre all very tired tonight!
