We’ve had another fantastic week of learning in Class 2!

In English, we’ve been learning all about witness statements. The children practiced using accurate speech punctuation and took part in hot-seating activities to step into the shoes of the characters from George’s Marvellous Medicine. They enjoyed getting into role and exploring how different people might speak, act and feel.

This week in Maths, we began our new topic on multiplication and division. The children have been working incredibly hard to understand the differences between rows and columns, as well as the ideas of sharing and grouping. Their confidence in recognising and representing equal groups is really beginning to shine through.

In RE, we started our new topic on Christmas. We talked about how we prepare for a special visitor, just as Christians prepare for the arrival of Jesus. The children shared some lovely ideas and showed great curiosity about the traditions and meanings behind the celebration.

We had our final PE session with Cricket Chris this week. The children have thoroughly enjoyed learning the rules of cricket and getting the chance to play their own games. Their teamwork, sportsmanship and enthusiasm have been wonderful to see!

Some of our time has also been spent rehearsing for the Christmas play. The children are growing in confidence on stage, and many are already beginning to learn their lines off by heart. We can’t wait for you to see their hard work come together!

Well done to all children for a super week!

We’ve had a busy and creative week in Class 2!

This week, our work in English was inspired by our book George’s Marvellous Medicine. The children had great fun exploring the poetry in the story, experimenting with rhyming words and alliteration to create their own verses. We also wrote detailed recipe-style instructions, thinking carefully about imperative verbs and clear steps. Some of their ‘medicines’ were very imaginative—thankfully only written on paper!

We reached the end of our Addition and Subtraction topic in Maths, so  spent some time recapping key skills before completing an end-of-topic test. Everyone worked really hard, showing great determination and accuracy. We’re very proud of their progress!

In PE, the children enjoyed another session with Cricket Chris. This week’s focus was learning the rules of cricket and understanding how a full game works. The class worked brilliantly as teams and showed fantastic sportsmanship.

In History, our Stone Age topic took us back thousands of years as we explored the lives of hunter-gatherers. The children learnt what people in the Stone Age would collect and forage, and were fascinated by how different life was before farming.

In RE, we explored Psalms. The children wrote their own reflective and descriptive versions, expressing feelings of gratitude, wonder and praise. Their work was thoughtful, personal, and beautifully worded.

Children in Need – PSHE
On Friday, we celebrated Children in Need. Each child wrote a kindness letter —either to someone in class, at home, or to the school community. We linked all these letters together to create a colourful class paper chain, symbolising how kindness connects us all.

What a fantastic first week back after the half term! The children have returned full of energy and enthusiasm, ready to dive into our new learning.

In English, we’ve been exploring alliteration to make our poetry more powerful. The class had great fun describing the ingredients for their “Marvellous Medicines”. The creativity and humour in their writing have been brilliant to see.

In Maths, we completed our topic on addition and subtraction. Everyone has worked hard to apply their strategies and explain their reasoning. Next week, we’ll be revisiting these skills to make sure we have a really secure understanding before moving on to our next topic.

In Art, we’ve been adding watercolour to our Lowry-inspired sketches. The children carefully thought about colour schemes and how to show foreground, midground and background in their work — the results are looking fantastic!

In PE, we were excited to meet our new coach, Cricket Chris, who led us in a fun and active Cricket session. The children showed great teamwork and enthusiasm throughout.

In RE, we began learning about Psalms and what they can tell us about God. The children shared some really thoughtful ideas and enjoyed exploring how these special poems express different feelings and beliefs.

In Science, we investigated the different groups of flowers and plants. Everyone was fascinated to discover lots of interesting facts.

We’re  looking forward to next week, when we’ll be taking part in our Remembrance Day assembly on Tuesday and beginning to rehearse for our Christmas play!
