W/C 1st June 2026

Class 2 have been working hard this first week back…

In English, we have been exploring the features of report writing and beginning to put these into practice in preparation for writing our own reports about a mysterious creature from The Tear Thief. We have identified key features such as subheadings, factual language and present tense.

In Maths, we have worked incredibly hard on fractions. We have been developing our understanding of adding, subtracting and multiplying whole numbers, mixed numbers and improper fractions.

In Science, we carried out an investigation to discover whether different materials affect magnetism. We made predictions, tested a range of materials and carefully recorded our results before discussing what we found out.

In History, we learned about the role of the Pharaoh in Ancient Egypt and explored why Pharaohs were considered so powerful. Next week, we are excited to begin our new Geography topic all about earthquakes.

In RE, we learned about Hindu mandirs and explored why they are special places of worship. We designed our own colourful, flower-filled mandirs and compared them to Christian churches.

In DT, we started our new topic on how things are made. We investigated shell structures and used our knowledge to create our own chocolate boxes.

In PSHE, we discussed what makes a healthy friendship. We thought carefully about personal boundaries, why they are important and how we can respect other people's boundaries while communicating our own respectfully.

In PE, we enjoyed practising for Sports Day with Andy. We took part in lots of exciting team games, developing our teamwork, communication and sporting skills while having plenty of fun.

In Music, we explored beat and tempo. We listened carefully to different pieces of music, identified whether they were fast or slow, and practised keeping a steady beat using percussion.

Well done Class 2 for working hard this week.
