W/C 8th September 2025

What a brilliant start to the new term we’ve had! Our first full week back has been packed with exciting learning across all subjects, and I couldn’t be prouder of the way every single child in Class 2 has embraced new challenges and had a go – even when things felt tricky or unfamiliar.

In English, we began exploring diary writing, using the book Stone Age Boy as our inspiration. The children have really started to think about how to write from a character’s perspective, imagining what it would be like to suddenly find yourself in a very different time period!

This links closely with our new History topic, where we’ve started learning all about the Stone Age. We’ve looked at how people lived during this time and begun building our understanding of how life has changed over thousands of years.

In Maths, we’ve been continuing to perfect our place value skills, working with increasingly large numbers and developing our confidence with reading, writing, and understanding them.

Our Science lessons have taken us underground as we’ve been investigating soil! The children explored what soil is made of and why it’s so important for life on Earth.

In French, we’ve been learning some interesting facts about France and picking up some new vocabulary along the way. It’s been lovely to see the children so engaged and curious about another culture.

In Music this week, we learned how to write musical notes and even had a go at creating our own songs using GarageBand. There were some very creative tunes being shared!

It’s been a fantastic week of learning, and once again, we are incredibly proud everyone in Class 2. Every child has made us smile with their attitude and effort!

 

W/C 1st September 2025

What a fantastic start we've had to the new school year! The children have settled in brilliantly to new teachers and new routines and have already been diving into some new exciting learning.

We first began our new Maths unit on place value. To help us really see how numbers are built, we used Base-10 to represent and compare numbers, and the children are slowly becoming more confident explaining their mathematical thinking. In Science, we've been exploring fossils - how they form, what they can tell us about the past and why they're so important to scientists. The class asked brilliant questions and loved looking at examples to spark their curiosity. In Art, our classroom became a mini gallery to study the work of L.S. Lowry. The children carefully analysed his paintings and his unique style. We have also been putting lots of effort into our handwriting. Everyone has been working hard on presentation and taking pride in their written work - something that will set us up for success across all subjects this year!

A busy and productive first week back - well done Class 2!
