Doubles
Class 2 have been looking at doubling numbers this week, we painted an accurate number of dots and the children then carefully folded to create double. The children then added the two sets together.
DogsTrust
Class 2 had an extra special visit this week from DogsTrust and learnt how to behave safely around dogs.
Trim Trail
Class 2 had a fantastic time trying out the trim trail in the autumn sunshine.
Online Safety
The children completed an online safety lesson using Now Press Play. They acted out the things that can go wrong when using the digital world of computer games. The children loved it when they were taken into the video game to become a real life character!
Lexia
Class 2 are enjoying reading and working on Lexia on the laptops. We are all trying hard to get to the next level and be presented with certificates!
Silhouettes in Art
Class 2 have been using their own shadows to create silhouettes of the human body.
We created lots of different actions including waving, standing and sitting. The children drew the outlines using chalk.
Relax Kids
Class 2 had a very relaxing PE session today, which saw them take part in their first ‘Relax Kids Session’. We have been given a challenge for next week which is to use our breathing to help us feel calm. The children were really kind to their friends and could all say something positive about each other.
Eco Lesson
The children in Class 2 took part in an Eco Lesson today, this was delivered by Durham County Council Outreach. The children read a story called Greta and the Giants which was all about making good choices to keep our world a beautiful place. The children looked at how we can save electricity and counted all of the electronic devices in the classroom. The children then made their own ‘Energy Saving Pledge’ and shared their ideas with the class.
Comma in a list
Class 2 have been looking at using a comma in a list today. They really enjoyed the game at the end of lesson to show their understanding.
Gymnastics
The children are working on a task in PE called ‘Families of Actions’ which includes travel, jump, roll and balance. The skills are done on the floor and apparatus. We are looking forward to putting routines together which demonstrate all of these skills.
Baby Bear’s Chair
Class 2 have been looking at strength and stability in DT this half term. The children looked at which shaped would provide the strongest and most stable seat. We did lots of testing and designing before making our chair. The children evaluated their designs and discussed what they would change next time to make their chair better. We had lots of partner work and discussion during the topic.
Chicks
Class 2 had a lovely visit from baby chicks this week. The children discussed being quiet and calm so they felt safe.
Earth Art
Jubilee Day 2022
Class 2 had a fantastic day celebrating the Queen’s Jubilee. The day was filled with interesting events including studying a decade that the Queen reigned (Class 2 looked at the 90s), decorating crowns, eating cakes and jelly & fresh strawberries. The children had a special buffet lunch at lunchtime with their friends. The children also took part in a sponsored jog, with proceeds going to the Angel’s Trust. The children received a medal for taking part. They were also presented with mugs to commemorate the event from the local Parish Council.
