Apricot Class - Forest School

 

Apricot class was very excited to experience the fire at Forest School this morning. We made sure the flames died down and we cooked over the embers to keep us safe in the wind today. We drank hot chocolate and sang around the fire. We toasted s’mores and then made our very own woodland warrior wristband. The children did really well at taking turns and waiting today and they all helped to put out the fire.

Year 2 Food Drive

16th October  2023

Dear Parents and Carers,

Thank you very much for your support this half term. 

The children have worked very hard and enjoyed

the Great Fire of London unit, their 1666 Day

and other associated activities. 

Next half-term, we will like to organise a food drive.

Hence, we want the children to bring in non-perishable

food  items like canned food and other dry packaged

food by the 13th of November 2023.  The food will be

donated to charity and food banks to help the less

fortunate in our society.

Thank you for your help.

Yours sincerely,

Mrs Fayefunmi

Year 2 What We Are Learning

 

Literacy

    This week, the children became reporters and  travelled

    back to 1666 when the Great  Fire of London happened.

    They thought abou the events and eyewitness accounts.

    Next, they discussed and planned their newspaper reports

    using  the appropriate features including the  5Ws (Who?

    Where? What? When? And Why?). Next week,

    they will be writing their reports. Watch this space!

History

This week in history we learnt about changes made to

London after the Great Fire of London.

We found out that King Charles II ordered churches,

St. Paul's cathedral and houses to be rebuilt.

He was smart about this as different materials were used

so they would not catch on fire as easily.

We wrote ways in which London changed for the better. 

Math

This week, the pupils have ordered objects

and numbers and they have moved onto addition

and subtraction. The pupils have focused on number

bonds and fact families to identify patterns in addition

equations as well as using that knowledge to figure

out any missing sums.
