Air habitats

1st February 2024Mrs Lewis

Today the children enjoyed creating a woodland habitat using natural resources. We were sure to add the different levels of the woodland including the forest floor, the herb layer, shrub layer, understory, canopy and emergent layer. The children did a wonderful job, what do you think?

Movie Night!

1st February 2024Mr Pickering

Year 2 settled down to watch The Bee Movie. This film links nicely to our current expedition and helped us to see the things that bees like in their habitat and to help them to survive. We were also able to imagine what life could be like as a bee and why we need to look after them!

Little Twitchers!

1st February 2024Mr Pickering

2P have been Scientists today by using their observational skills to conduct a survey. We took part in the RSPB’s Big School Bird Watch and spent time looking and identifying different bird species. We will submit our data to be used in the national survey. We were surprised by how many birds we saw considering how cold it was. Wood Pigeon were definitely the most common!

Habitat builders!

1st February 2024Mr Pickering

2P have been learning about woodland habitats. We used our knowledge of the layers of woodlands to recreate a habitat scene from natural materials. We tried to include the forest floor and winter trees. We even attempted to make animals and birds from the materials around us!

Woodland Habitats 🌳

30th January 2024Abigale Ketteringham

This afternoon 1/2K discussed the habitats of animals that fly. We focussed on the woodland and the different layers of the woods. We also discussed the importance of having woodland areas and what it would mean for birds if they were chopped down.
We then used natural resources to create a woodland picture.

Somebody Swallowed Stanley!

29th January 2024Abigale Ketteringham

This morning we introduced our new class text which is “Somebody Swallowed Stanley”. We revealed the front cover to the children and we made inferences about it. E.g. where do they think the story was set? They used their knowledge of animals to decipher that it must have been under the sea as he is surrounded by animals with gills! We also thought about what Stanley might be thinking and feeling. The children used the front cover to look for clues to prove their thinking. We then made jellyfish to decorate our classroom with a to represent the jellyfish in the story.

KS1 Deep Trip

29th January 2024Stuart Longley

As part of our Spring Term expedition, The Blue Planet: How will what I do today impact tomorrow?’, we would like to take the opportunity to take our KS1 children to complete fieldwork at The Deep in Hull. The visit will be a full day where the children can see the spectacular aquariums with over 3500 fish and other marine life.

We will also be participating in a Save Our Seas workshop, which will help us answer our guiding question – How will what I do today impact tomorrow?

To keep costs as low as possible the trip will be split across two days, 13th and 14th March.

1C, 2L and a group from 12K will visit on the 13th March 2024.

1M, 2P and a group from 12K will visit on the 14th March 2024.
