Class 2
YEAR 3 SCIENCE - ROCKS: In this unit, the children discovered the different types of rocks and how they are formed. They compared and grouped rocks based on appearance and similar properties. They learnt how fossils are formed and leant about the contribution of Mary Anning to the field of palaeontology. The children also learnt how soil is formed.
Climbing Wall - Day 2 - The top was very popular today....
Wow, what a superb time Class 2 have had on the humungous climbing wall! We have some very brave children. Sophie, Penny, Katey and Kevin even reached the top!

Always time for some math number races!
Poppy find a book fairy present and kindly gave it to Oscar - what good friendship!
YEAR 2 SCIENCE: Year 2 have just completed their latest Science topic: Living Things and Their Habitats. The children learnt about a variety of habitats and the plants and animals that live there. They learnt to tell the difference between things that are living, dead and things that have never been alive, and applied this in a range of contexts. They made observations of a local habitat and the creatures that live there, investigated conditions in local microhabitats and how this affects the minibeasts found within them. They also researched a range of global habitats and how the living things that live there are suited to their environments, and they also learnt the idea of dependency between plant and animal species.
Class 2 & 3: BlueJam Workshop 2. Geoff and Asha came into school again, this time teaching us a new song based on all the ideas that the children came up with in the previous session. The song is called ‘Anthem For A New Season.’’ The children loved that their ideas came to life in this song.
