Good afternoon all,
We have had a lovely day today! We have celebrated the coronation as a whole school by getting together on the playground and performing our sounds from across the decades and singing the national anthem. The class looked ace in all their red, white and blue. I hope the celebrations continue over the weekend!
Enjoy it, everyone!
Thanks
Mr. H.

Good afternoon everybody,
This week in class two we have been going seaside crazy!
During English lessons, we have been learning about a different culture using the classic story: The Mousehole Cat. The story is set all the way down on the south coast of Cornwall, between Penzance and Land's End in the postcard-perfect village of Mousehole. The old world setting and the charming characters have captured the children's imaginations and have led to some lovely discussion and writing.
Throughout our history lessons, we have looked at some old and new photographs of seaside holidays and discussed what we have learnt from them as sources..
Maths has been a mixture of working with money to make totals and work out change and also using tens and ones accurately to add and subtract.
Thanks to everyone for all your hard work and enjoy the weekend!

Hi everyone,
FIRE! FIRE!
As a conclusion to our half term of learning about the Great Fire of London, we received a visit from the Home Valley Fire Service. They brought up their appliance from the station and talked to the class about how they keep us safe and respond to emergencies. The children got to handle some of the hoses and were preparing to squirt some water when the team got the signal to attend to a real emergency and had to leave a little prematurely. They have said they will be back to see us soon.

Good afternoon everyone,
One of the activities that the class loved this week was our outdoor maths. The children were armed with pencils and clipboards and explored the grounds to find different maths problems to solve. It was like a PE and maths lesson mixed up!
During English lessons this week, the children have created some gorgeous Samuel Pepys-inspired diaries about the Great Fire of London and the emotions they might feel.
Abi from the sports partnership came in and delivered a lovely active reading session for the children. They read a story about an alien and joined in with loads of actions and even found some missing parts of the story around the school.
Music this week, involved playing the Glockenspiels whilst learning the notes and melody for the song Ode to Joy. They were brilliant at remembering the sections of an orchestra and the meaning of different notes.
The class have wowed me again during PE this week. They have enjoyed both gymnastics and cricket and I loved seeing some brilliant batting today. Watch out England, the youngsters are coming!
Finally, I just want to say a huge thank you to Mrs Alyson Lindley, who is moving onto a new job after today. She has been part of the Netherthong team for over 19 years and will be sorely missed by the staff and children alike. Thanks for all you have given Netherthong!
Thanks all, have a lovely weekend!

Science Week!
We have been science mad here in class two!
We started off the week by participating in a carousel of six different experiments led by different members of staff around school! There was fun to be had making non-newtonian liquids like slime, seeing a chemical reaction happen when using vinegar and baking soda and seeing how liquids diffuse using food colouring to show the processes.
Later in the week, we joined year five, our buddies, to get outdoors and do a soil investigation! The year fives were brilliant role models and we discovered how our woodland has very healthy soil in comparison to our turf-covered field.
