We have been learning about our local environment in Geography. Today we compared two areas near to the school. We visited Holdbrook first and noticed the houses, cars and huge lorry in the road. We then visited Pinehill field which was green, muddy and a large open space. We much preferred Pinehill field!
Most of our activities this week centred around the well-known story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. In literacy we have been reading different versions of the story. Throughout the week we read books together under the visualiser, encouraging the children to read along and then discussed different aspects of the book. The children were … Read more
We read a poem about bears and this inspired us to write our own poems about cats! We thought of lots of words that rhyme with cat and then put them into funny sentences. We had to remember to use the rhyming word at the end of our sentences.
Last week the children were looking at different types of birds that they might see when taking part in the ‘Little Schools’ Birdwatch’ project.

For the last session of the day, those of us who had our boots, wrapped up warm and went for a walk over the school field. Well, who could resisit a huge blanket of untrodden snow?! We built a rather small snowman and then made a ‘magic ring’ of snowballs around him.
In our art lesson we created collage snowmen using crepe paper, tissue paper, felt and multi-coloured fabric. The children had to follow a set of instructions to create their snowmen We hope you enjoy looking at them.
If you want to come indoors and warm up after a great morning playing in the snow have a look at the story of Goldilocks on www.britishcouncil.org/kids-stories-goldilocks.htm. Maybe you have a copy of this story. If you have got one, have a look at it because the story may be told in a different way. … Read more

Hello Class 2 I hope everyone is enjoying the snow but if you are getting cold and fed up with it now why not draw me a picture of what you can see from your window or write me a story about being out in the snow. Mrs Brown
Build two small snowmen as identical as you can make them (to make it a fair test). Then wrap one in bubble wrap, but not the other. As the weather warms up and the snow melts, which snowman will melt first and why or why not? Make a prediction. Will you be right? If you … Read more
