PE in Class 2





One of our favourite warm ups!

Special visitor to Class 2


Over the years we have encouraged special visitors into Class 2 and we have had kittens, guinea pigs, rabbits and dogs.  Our latest visitor was Wanda, Maddie and Elspeth's new dog.



She was very well behaved and the children were very excited to see her!  Thank you Mrs Barnabas for sharing her with us!

Enterprise Week


We have had a fabulous week!  We have all worked really hard and learned lots, best of all we worked as a team - we might set up in business!

We (or rather George) decided that we would operate a hand wash car service plus the Pitstop café whilst parents had their cars washed.  We made all the scones, flapjacks, brownies etc. and even provided an afternoon cream tea.

We made a profit of £311 which we will spend on our class - another example of teamwork!  Fabulous!

 
Important job - filling the buckets!

 
You have to get a bit wet when washing cars!
 
 
Checking what others are doing!
 
 
A fully booked session!
 
 
PitStop café - we have to enjoy ourselves whilst we wash up!
 
 
A full house for our café!
 
A big thanks to Mrs Richardson and Mrs Barnes (our teaching assistants) for working really hard with the children this week!

Animal day


As part of our recent creative day with the theme of animals, we all dressed up as animals, we did a lot of writing about animals - Haiku Beastiarys, Dragon OSIE (using Observation, Sensations, Imagination and Emotions) to describe different dragons, Wordles and Dragon diaries - some fabulous work!

Mr Walker also brought in his ducks for us to see!

 
 
A very successful day!

Partial solar eclipse


We couldn't not go outside to observe this - the next one won't happen for many years!

Thanks to Dr Ridout for making cardboard pinholes for us to use.


 
We were already outside doing PE!

Healthy Me! topic


As part of our Healthy Me! topic last term we had two parents - Dr Khoo (a heart consultant) and Dr Ridout (a GP) talk to us.  Dr Khoo taught us how to keep our heart healthy and he brought along resources to help us.


Showing us a model of the heart
 
 
Alex became Dr Alex and learnt how to use a stethoscope!
 
 
Looking at unhealthy hearts - plastic of course!
Thank you Dr Khoo for making your presentation so interesting!
 
Dr Ridout talked to us about keeping healthy through exercise - this coincided with the whole class wearing a pedometer each for the whole day!
 
 
 
How to stretch muscles in a warm up / cool down
 
Thank you Dr Ridout!
 
We are very lucky to have two doctors who could speak to us!
