Second & Third Class

It has been a very busy few months in 2nd and 3rd class.

Science week kept us very busy with lots of different experiments. We made rockets and created rainbows in a jar.

Our favourite experiment was bouncing an egg on the table.

We also had our Reindeer Run and donated money to charity.

To finish off our busy term we had our Christmas concert.

We worked really hard and performed a play called "Tiny Angel". I

t was great fun and everyone loved creating their costumes and learning our lines and songs.

We were super glad to get to the Christmas holidays so we had a chance to recharge our batteries and get ready for Term 2.

We started off Term 2 with lots of work around Number in Maths. We were learning about addition and division.

We played lots of games to help us learn our tables.

In P.E. we have been learning about balancing and landing.

During our P.E. lessons we have been learning about gymnastics and how these FMS are important to make us great gymnasts.

We have also been learning about how we change and grow in S.P.H.E.

We brought in some pictures of ourselves as babies, toddlers, starting school and now.

This was great fun as we looked at our baby photos and tried to work out who everyone was.

We used our Active Walkway to get out in the fresh air and learn about different colours and patterns.

We used our orienteering skills to write about where each walkway sign is located.

We also created kites in the sky in Art. This took a few weeks and lots of preparation.

It is lovely to see everyone’s different skies and kites.
