As part of our hook week, 2P tried a variety of different fruits and vegetables. We described if the food was sour, sweet, bitter or strong. We tried some food that we hadn’t tried before and it certainly made us pull some strange faces!

Welcome Back!
It has been brilliant to see all of the children back after the break. They are all energised and excited to get into our new Expedition. This term, we are asking ourselves ‘How can I be the healthiest version of me?’ 2P started by exploring our new English text ‘Supertato’. We used inference skills to predict what the story might be about. We then read the story and created our own superhero masks. In Expedition, we learnt a performance song all about bananas. The video is below for you to enjoy! We can’t wait to do our Bushtucker trial later in the week!

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s Supertato!
In 2L the children loved solving the mystery of what our new text is going to be in English. The children, completed jigsaws and matching activities before they put their inference skills to the test. The children used the front cover of the book and tried to work out who the book might be about, where it was set and what the story might be about. The children enjoyed listening to the story before they made their own superhero masks.

Introduction to Numbots
Dear Parent/Carer,
We are delighted to inform you about an online learning platform called NumBots that we’re using to support your child’s understanding of number bonds and to help their addition and subtraction skills. These are the essential building blocks for higher-level maths concepts, so we are excited by the impact that NumBots will have on your child’s learning.
We will also be celebrating children’s achievements each week in our community crew, where we will be presenting the children’s certificates.
Logging In
The children have been shown how to log in and have brought home a username label containing their unique login details. NumBots can be played on a browser (play.numbots.com) or via the app which is free to download on Amazon, Android and Apple devices. They may need help entering the details, but once they’re in they will be able to play the game on their own.
Please ask your child’s teacher if they are struggling to login.
Important: Please don’t allow siblings, friends or family to answer for them, as the programme progresses at the pace of each child. Do feel free to support your child if they’re stuck and give them encouragement to keep trying even if it takes a number of times to complete a level.
Children should all have logged in at school and be aware of how to log in.
Little and often
In order to get the best out of NumBots, we recommend that children play regularly for short bursts at a time, aiming for 3 minutes, five times a week.
Game Types
- Story Mode – the emphasis is on learning the ideas and concepts behind addition and subtraction so it features more diagrams, representations and question styles.
- Challenge Mode – the emphasis is more on speed of recall of key facts, like number bonds to 10, doubling small numbers or adding & taking away in your head.
Please let your child’s teacher know if you have any questions or comments.Â
Celebration of Learning
After a busy term of learning, the children in 2L enjoyed sharing their learning with parents and carers last week. The children were the experts, teaching their grown ups all about our expedition, Rags to Riches, What Lies Within the Castle Walls? The children and parents did a quiz and then built catapults before testing them out.
We’d like to thank all the parents and carers who joined us for our celebration of learning and we look forward to having you back to join us for our next celebration of learning.

The Grinch!
Expedition Celebration.
2P had a class full of grown-ups for our celebration of learning. We shared our favourite parts from the expedition and then completed our quiz, whilst sharing our learning with our adults. Finally, we became the experts and taught our grown-ups how to make a simple wooden catapult. It was a lovely afternoon! Thank you to everyone who came.
