Outdoor Learning!
What a great afternoon! We looked inside cherry tomatoes and planted the seeds, built dens, created art work from leaves and built some creative wooden structures.
On the move!
Whilst some of the class were out doing some outdoor learning, the other half of the group were inside building their model campervans. They punched holes in their models to make room for axles to go through and then glued wheels onto them! They are almost ready to come home!
Very Persuasive!
During our English lessons, the class have worked on writing a piece of persuasive text to convince others to visit Mousehole, Cornwall on holiday! They have all done an amazing job and have put a little bit of themselves into their writing. Well done class two!
Have a lovely weekend everyone!
Thanks,
Mr. H

Good afternoon everyone,
It has been a slightly shorter week but class two have worked extra hard to fit in almost as much as normal!
The children have loved our recap on 2D and 3D shapes in maths. They are little experts on sides, vertices, edges and faces!
In English, class two have finished off their best versions of their Mousehole Cat stories and have moved onto building up a bank of ideas that will be used to convince others to visit Mousehole on holiday. So far, they have started to gather attractions that they have spotted during some research and next week, we will pen some adjectives too, to create a persuasive piece of writing.
Sunny, warm weather! On Wednesday, we had the superb Matt return to Netherthong from Thongsbridge Tennis Club. We headed out on to the warm and sunny playground to enjoy our tennis lesson. Matt modelled a basic backhand and forehand technique and the class practiced this whilst thinking about their control!
During history this week, the class wrote some fantastic descriptive sentences from the point of view of someone from roughly 100 years ago going to the seaside. The class focused on what people were wearing, the transport they took and what activities people were doing.
Thanks and have a good weekend!
Mr. H.

Good afternoon all,
Here in class two, the children have worked extremely hard in maths. We have had a go at a few quizzes over the week and it has been brilliant to see how much information and concepts they have remembered from over the year. Brilliant effort all around.
In PE, the class loved getting outside in some sunshine - finally! They worked with Matt from Thongsbridge Tennis Club and developed their ability to return a ball to their partners. I'm looking forward to next week, when they will start working on rallying with each other.
I hope you all enjoy the long weekend and fingers crossed that the sun makes some form of appearance!
Thanks
Mr. H.

John Kane - Read Author Event
This week, we tuned into one of Read Bookshop's author events. This time around it featured the Irish author, John Kane, who read and discussed his latest book 'What is Black and White?'. The class absolutely loved listening to the book and joining in with John in his drawing workshop too. It made us all laugh and smile and I know the kids will be keeping an eye out for his books in future.
The Mousehole Cat
In our formal English lessons the class have been getting to know the story of 'The Mousehole Cat' and have started to produce their very own storyboards of the story from the point of view of the character Tom. This story has given the class a great window into the past and an understanding of what coastal areas may have been like in the past - minus the Storm Cat of course!
Campervans
In keeping with our seaside topic, the class have designed camper vans to take them on trips to the seaside. Today, they have started the construction of their models and given them a coat of paint... so apologies for any paint covered uniform!
Seasides in the Past
Previously, class two started learning about what people did at the seaside in the past. To build on this understanding, we delved into the reasons why seaside trips became a tradition and how technological advances like the train-lines led to more people getting away for holidays.
Making digital music
Our computing topic at the moment is making music using technology and the class loved making rhythms on chrome music labs here .

Good afternoon everyone,
Here in class two, we have had a brilliant week and a highlight of it has to be starting the story 'The Mousehole Cat'. The class started by looking at one of the first illustrations of the book and this features a view out Mousehole, Cornwall. The children came up with as many words as possible using that image and the words were a mixture of nouns and adjectives. From this, the class started writing a description of the image but they had to try to start each of their sentences with a different letter of the alphabet! Their descriptions were brilliant and very imaginative.
In PE, the class were fantastic when Thongsbridge Tennis Club coach, Matt, came into school to lead our tennis lessons. The group built on their prior learning to return balls using racquets with accuracy and appropriate power.
History this week, consisted of reviewing old photos of seaside holidays and looking at what has changed and what has stayed the same. The class noticed that some things like paddling and playing with buckets and spades are timeless whilst wearing old fashioned swimming costumes and playing giant dominoes is less common.
Have a good weekend everyone.
Thanks,
Mr. H.
