Autumn 1 - Week 5

We have been looking at the story of Mr Benn in English. We are going to be writing our own versions of the story, choosing a new costume and adventure! Last Friday, we designed and created our new Mr Benn costumes. This week, we have been writing statements about them.

Autumn 1 - Week 4

This week, Year 2 worked collaboratively with Year 5 to create a 3D display inspired by the book ‘Colour Monster’. Each child worked as part of a small group to create a 3D sculpture of a different colour monster. Our job was to to do the building at the beginning of the day!

Autumn 1 - Week 3

In Science, we have been learning about materials. Today we compared the strength of four different materials - paper, card, wood and tin foil. We did this by working in teams to build bridges. Once we had finished building them, we tested them by balancing cubes on top. All of our bridges were strong enough to hold the whole tray of cubes!

Autumn 1 - Week 2

Our unit in Art this term is 'Collectors and Explorers'. Last week, we looked at different artists who find inspiration from the world around them. They collect objects from the natural environment and turn them into art. This week, we did this ourselves. We took a trip down to Forest School to collect sticks, leaves, flowers and stones. The children came back and worked in pairs to create their own pattern. Take a look at what they made!

Autumn 1 - Week 1 

We had a great first day and all the children settled well into their new classroom. This afternoon we looked at the Zones of Regulation. We talked about all of our different feelings and times we have felt Blue, Green, Red or Yellow. We then sorted the feelings into the zones. We talked about ways to make us feel calm and how to “get back to the green zone”.
