Today, class 2H visited Lotherton Hall with the rest of year 2. Staff and family volunteers accompanied the pupils on a very hot day! The children explored the grounds and spotted some red deers and they spent some time observing a variety of animals. The children also met Florence Nightingale who told them about her interesting life as a nurse. A great day out!

In science, the pupils explored how materials can change their shape. The children had fun using play dough to investigate this.

This week was Mental Health Week. In recognition of this important event, the pupils came to school (on Thursday) wearing green. The children also participated in an emoji trail where they had to spot the escaped emojis. 2H spent some time in the sunshine observing and drawing plants using a pen. Sadly, the class said goodbye to Heidi and to Miss Dalliday (trainee teacher). As the summer 1 term ends, the final term will soon be approaching. Happy holidays 2H!

This week, class 2H went for a local walk to the library. On the way, they used their mapping skills to add symbols on a map of human and physical features that they spotted. The children had a wonderful time at the library and shared with the librarian the books they love reading.

This week, in science, the pupils have been exploring different seeds and have practised sorting them by either size or colour. The children also used soil and water to plant a bean. Happy Planting!

The first week, after the Easter break, the children were in school for four busy days. The children used maths resources to practise finding a third. They also started their new science topic on plants. They explored and participated in observational drawings of different plants on the school grounds.

This week, it was our turn to display a picture of hope to be placed in the school hall.

Wishing everyone a wonderful Easter break!

This week, class 2H have prepared and made a healthy meal. They chose what they would have from different food groups (including carbohydrates, protein and vegetables). The children chopped potatoes, carrots and onions and used vegetable stock and beans to make a delicious soup. Great culinary skills 2H!

This week, the children celebrated science week. The theme was about change and adaptation. The children discussed what things could be changed including the environment. They designed an area that could be shared by both humans and other animals. They ended the week by exploring how change can occur with colours when they are mixed with water.
