This week, the children were busy completing quizzes so it was important for them to have some time for creative fun. They started drawing an owl and a pussycat and creating a pea green boat (linked to their writing and art topics this term).

This week, the pupils were engaged in creating algorithms (instructions) as part of their computing lessons. They used Beebots to test out the accuracy of their instructions by getting the robot to travel from one place to another.

It has been a very busy week! This week was science week and the theme was curiosity: what’s your question? The pupils had a visit from Miss Hanley’s friend who uses science in her role as a nurse. The children participated in a science investigation about infections and the importance of washing your hands. The children had a special visit from some feathery creatures which linked nicely to our topic: Healthy Living Things.

The children had fun coming to school in their pyjamas, participating in a quiz and reading a passage from their favourite book.

It was wonderful to welcome the pupils back after half term. The week has been a busy one! The children have been continuing multiplication in mathematics and revisiting odd and even numbers to help their understanding of the two times tables. The children have started exploring what animals need to survive. They ended the week with a ukulele workshop which they thoroughly enjoyed.

This week, the children have been exploring everyday materials in science. They participated in an experiment to see which materials bent, stretched, squashed or twisted. They showed great collaboration and oracy skills. The children also enjoyed some outdoor learning which was also linked to science. They gathered some outdoor materials e.g.stones, sticks, soil and leaves and used them to create a potion. Luckily they didn’t have to taste it!

This week was an exciting one for the pupils. They were finishing their planning and writing their stories ready to present to their families. They also practised their dance with Mrs Fox and finished creating models of two new islands which had human and physical features with Mrs Housam. They also developed their culinary skills with Mrs Elliot in the cafe. Extra help was also provided by support staff including Mrs Howard, Mrs Sanchez, Ms Munoz Del Valle, Miss Wahid (trainee) and Miss Flint. The children showcased their work and they should be extremely proud of everything they have achieved. They also had a special treat in the morning of entering a space dome which linked to this term’s Lunar Landing topic. A fantastic eventful day for class 2H!

This week was the start of class 2H’s Art Fortnight! The children have been busy rehearsing their dance moves, creating actions for a story, practising their culinary skills in the cafe and participating in junk modelling in the art studio. They have worked hard this week and are excited to showcase their work on the Friday afternoon of 30th January.

This term, class 2H have been focusing on digital photography. They have started to use terms such as landscape and portrait. They have begun to take close up photographs, selfies and action photographs with a tablet and they had fun doing so. The pictures below were taken by the pupils. Great photography 2H!

2026 is here and the children have got straight back into the school routine. This week, the children were using their collaboration skills to design and make bridges (revisiting their knowledge of bridges in both their Leeds and Kolkata topics).

There are certainly some budding carpenters and architects in the class!
