World Book day in 1/2B
Children in 1/2B had a superb World Book Day too! Here is the photographic evidence of their book filled day:
Maths
In Year 2, we have started a new unit in maths on multiplication. Before we multiply numbers, we need to be able to identify and represent equal groups.
The children chose from a selection of equipment to represent a variety of equal groups. Check out our work!
We are starting to use repeated addition to match these representations and will then be using multiplication.
Help at home by seeing if your child can create equal groups of objects – for example, pencils, spoons, books, or whatever is handy! Can they tell you how many equal groups there are and how many objects are in each group?
Craft club
Spring has sprung in craft club this week. We have enjoyed making some Spring time pictures today.
We painted our hands and printed them to make some wonderful flower paintings. We also used dots to colour in pictures of chicks and rabbits.
Just look at our creative pieces of art! Well done, Craft Club!
World Book Day in 2C
KS1 had the very best day, off time table, doing everything to enjoy BOOKS! We love books, reading and dressing up!
We had a whole school assembly where adults shared an extract form their favourite book or poem. It was great to come together and see everyone’s book character costumes.
At 11am we joined in the BBC’s National Online Lesson about reading. This was rather interactive and helped us to underpin the importance of your ‘reading vibe.’ Basically, where you like to read and what do you like to read.

We have a daily reading session with our school reading books, so of course we kept that in our day:
In the afternoon, 3/4C came to read books with us and we also made some colourful bookmarks. It was heart warming to watch how caring the older children were towards the Year 2s.
The World Book day activity pack had some great activities in it. We just didn’t have enough time to complete the challenges in there. One of our favourites was the ‘create your own wordsearch’ based on your chosen book. Children have brought them home to complete.
Don’t forget: To take your child’s World Book Day Token to a bookshop to claim their free book.
World Book Day
We had an AMAZING day yesterday for World Book Day! Thank you so much to all parents and carers for providing children with such fantastic costumes and for sending them to school with their favourite books.
During the day we discussed our favourite books, characters and authors. We designed our own book cover and wrote sentences about the books we like.
We also had some of the older children from 3/4A visit our classroom and read with us. It was so much fun !
Help at home by reading as much as you can at home! We want all of our children to be confident and fluent readers by the time they leave KS1.
DT food
What a brilliant morning we have had in 1A! Today we did a DT food lesson, where we made fruit salad.
We used lots of different methods like peeling, chopping and mixing to create our juicy fruit salads. Lots of us enjoyed the fruit salad and even added yoghurt at the end.
Help at home by discussing healthy foods and encouraging children to help prepare food.
Living and Learning – drugs, alcohol & tobacco
‘I know what a drug is.’
This fortnight, we are learning that a drug is a substance that changes the way the body or mind works. This week we’ve been discussing things that are helpful and harmful for our bodies, and learning about different warning symbols to keep us safe.
Help at home by asking your child if they know about some things that can be harmful for our bodies.
Outdoor learning for Science
On Tuesday, 1A had a fantastic afternoon learning about the environment. This half term, we are learning about the environment and how to look after the Earth. We know some things are harmful to the environment like pollution and throwing litter on the ground. Some things are helpful for the environment like planting trees and flowers. We can also help by recycling any litter and waste.
In the afternoon, 1A had a look in the wildlife garden. We spotted lots of insects and homes that they might live in. We saw lots of beautiful flowers emerging and spotted lots of ‘bug hotels.’
Design Technology (Food) – Fruit Salad (2C)
In 2C, we also enjoyed our spring term DT food session!
Beforehand, we read the recipe for fruit salad and discussed how we would stay safe by washing our hands, being careful with the equipment and following instructions.
We worked together to prepare the fruit and enjoyed a lovely bowlful with some yoghurt!
Help at home by reading and following recipes together – feel free to share photos for show and tell!
Design Technology (Food) – Fruit Salad
Today, we did our spring term DT food session. We made a fruit salad and we had a brilliant time. We had to use lots of different skills including washing, cutting, claw grip, bridge hold, mixing and peeling. The children listened really carefully and made sure they kept safe during the cooking.
We washed our hands to make sure we didn’t spread germs.
We used the claw grip when we were cutting.
We made sure the knife was pointing away from us.
We listened to the adults carefully and followed their instructions.
We used lots of different types of fruit. When it came to eating, everybody (well most) loved it and there was lots of clean bowls!
