Fun Facts about PARROTS! 🦜

This week 1/2K started exploring the book “The Big Book of Birds” for inspiration for our next piece of writing. As it is a non-fiction text we have looked at all the different features of a non fiction book and thought about what that might look like for our writing. Miss Ketteringham showed us a model text and to help us learn it, we drew a text map and acted out the information. Here is our performance.

Hooking back into learning.

We’ve been hooking into the learning for our new expedition ‘The Blue Planet: How will what I do today impact tomorrow?’ We’ve used dinosaurs to explore some of the skills and knowledge that we are going to learn about and got really busy making models of dinosaur eggs and different habitats. We can’t wait to get on with our expedition learning!

We are Artists!

Ready for our new expedition, today the children made a box model of an animal habitat. In 2L we created ‘air’ habitats and it was really quite tricky! We knew we didn’t want our blue sky to end up looking like the sea so the children worked hard to use different collage and paint techniques to create a beautiful sky. The children then added clouds, mountains, treetops and some flying insects and birds.

I saw some excellent collaboration in class today, well done everyone!

We’re very proud of our box models, what do you think?

Dinosaur Hunters 🦕 🦖

Y2 noticed dinosaur footprints on the playground, then found different dinosaurs and sorted them into carnivores, herbivores, omnivores! Next they did some dinosaur footprints of their own and finally they drew a dinosaur! #LovePlover

This morning we talked about how Christmas is celebrated in different countries and how similar or different their traditions are compared to ours.
We completed a Kahoot Quiz, which everyone really enjoyed being part of.
