What a glorious sports day we had this afternoon! I was so proud of all the children in Y2 and KS1 as well as all the staff who organised it and of course Mr Curly Wurly. Well done everyone!

We are loving our Australia topic in Year 2, from our Dreamtime stories in English to our x-ray pictures in art. We also learned all about the climate of Australia in geography.
Here are just a few examples of our drawings using pastels in a limited earthy palette...

It's hot, hot, hot this week! But not just in the playground - we've be hot in the classroom with our maths. Column subtraction has been on our minds and we've loved it once again! The children are getting super confident with their methods. In English, we have started our reports on an Australian animal - did you know that a koala can sleep for up to 18 hours a day?
In R.E. we have been talking about Jesus and his friends - his disciples. We discussed what made a good disciple and made paper dolls to demonstrate all these qualities.

The have been using the internet to research an Australian animal and we shall use all our facts to write a non-chronological report next week. In art, we stayed with the Australian theme and draw animals using the cross-hatching effect. The children could only choose a natural palette of colours. Here's Robert's wonderful bird...

This week, the children have been learning all about 3D shapes, they even made some 3D skeletons out of straws and modelling clay. They talked about their properties - about sides, vertices and faces.
We've been busy finishing off our Mousehole Cat stories as well as completing some busy 'quizzes'. I'm pleased to say that all the children worked hard and did themselves proud!
