Class 2

We have begun the year exploring our learning metaphor “Be transformed by the renewing of your mind” Romans 12:2. The children have been exploring the idea of transformation, relating this to the life cycle of butterflies and reflecting on how they wish to transform over their time in year 2.

We also explored the story of Zacchaeus from the gospel of Luke where Zacchaeus climbed a sycamore tree to see Jesus. The children considered the thoughts of the people that were part of this story and wrote these ideas in their book.

The children have also brightened up the classroom making a beautiful butterfly window display.

Den building in forest school

Class 2 build dens in forest school. The children worked really well as a team to build their structures, with no rope to secure the branches. After they’d added leaves to cover the branches, Mr Jackson put their dens to the test to see how weather proof they were and poured water over them! There were some wet but very cheerful children!

The Trunk Theatre

Class 2 had a visit from The Trunk Theatre who delivered an exciting performance all about The Great Fire of London. The children had lots of fun joining in and even redesigned London!

Art days

Class 2 produced some fantastic art with Mrs Dyminski. They used art foam to create animals inspired by a the picture book The Lion Inside by Rachel Bright and produced stunning prints. They also used their colour mixing skills to create beautiful colour wheels using watercolour paints.

Felt Pouches

Class 2 have been learning to sew. They have used running stitch and cross stitch to make a binca bookmark. Next they designed and made a felt pouch. We were lucky to have lots of parents and grandparents come in to help. Here are their amazing pouches – I wonder what will be stored in them?!

Moving Monsters

The children enjoyed learning about levers and linkages to create their fantastic moving monsters! Watch out – they bite!

We The Curious visit

Class 2 enjoyed a trip to We the Curious in Bristol. They took part in a space workshop where they had lots of fun building and launching rockets as well as learning lots about what it’s like being an astronaut. They also visited the planetarium for a fantastic tour of space and the solar system. The children enjoyed exploring the exhibits – there was so much to see and do!
