After reading the story, the children made predictions of what might happen if the Gingerbread man fell in the river: float, break, snap, melt, turn to liquid, crumble, go soft, sink, make the water brown.
So we did a science experiment to see. We put the Gingerbread man into water and we were correct… he dissolved and went into a soggy mush. After, we thought of different ideas to help the Gingerbread Man so he didn’t fall in the water. #LovePlover

We are not sure if we loved it more or if our visitors loved it more today? Residents from Oaklands Care Home came to share some stories. Some of them loved reading to the children and some of them loved hearing stories with the children. Ernest used to be a teacher and even taught Mrs Price when she went to school! We showed off our counting too to see if it helped him feel like he was back in the classroom at Hall Cross. We got lots of smiles from him, despite him missing all the skittles when he played bowling with us 🙂
Lizzy loved reading to the children and made lots of friends- Mrs Reeve said she was after her job! There was lots of giggles and joy shared.
We hope to see our new friends at our Celebration of Learning later in the term.

Today we have been working hard on our oral blending . We had to say the sound in each hoop, before blending it together to say the whole word.

Year 2 really enjoyed having a picnic on the field with the rest of the school as part of our VE Day anniversary celebrations. We listened to music from the era while we ate and showed our respect during the national anthem. It was great to be together and learn why it is important to learn from the past.

2P have been exploring the difference between human and physical geographical features. We then used what we had learnt about Amelia Earhart’s final flight around the world to match which of these features she might have seen in different parts of the world. We then went for a walk around the outside of the school to see which features were most common around the building. We discovered that there were mainly human features.
