Welcome to Class 2!
Wow! We have made it to the final half term of the year! The children have worked incredibly hard and continue to grow and progress. They all deserve a big pat on the back. This term, we will be focusing on a new book called Space band by Tom Fletcher, we will look at setting descriptions, song writing and growth mindset. Our topic is Explorers and we will be learning about Cristopher Columbus and Neil Armstrong.
We can't wait to get stuck in to a very exciting half term!

In Geography last term, our focus was to study an non-European village -Chembakolli, in India. To embrace the rich culture of India, we had an India Day. The children dressed in bright clothes, ate Indian food, learned Indian dance and music, and even had the chance to get a henna design.
Our focus text last term was 'Inside the Villians' and 'Into the Forest'. The children had great fun devling into the books and using them to create their own work. We had great fun role-playing the giant from 'Inside the Villians', making our giants talk using 'Chatterpix' and using conscience alley to debate which way we should walk to grandmas'.
In science, we went on a plant hunt, dissected a seed and then grew our own plants.
