Year 2 went down to the hall to a Silly Science experience. They learnt about how forces effect objects. They saw how a air can affect direction of objects. Great fun was had by all.
Today we started with a book covers quiz followed by a performance of the BFG story. Later in the day we shared picture books with year 6 pupils before a sharing assembly. What fun!
On Tuesday some boys from year 5 and 6 went to Congleton High School to play against other Congleton Schools. The boys really enjoyed playing their matches and made the school proud.
Today our class had a workshop to use our drama skills to bring the story to life. We read Iron Man last term as part of our Pathways and the children really enjoyed learning these new skills.
This morning, ahead of parent’s meetings next week, parents were invited into school to look at their child’s books. It was lovely to see so many come in to share the progress in all areas of the curriculum.
On Thursday afternoon a group of 12 children from year 3 and 4 went to Eaton Bank for an athletics competition against other Congleton schools. They all really enjoyed themselves, the girls managed to come second and the boys came fourth.
In PE today we learnt some skills for tag rugby. Firstly we passed a ball round a circle shouting a name just before we threw the ball. Then we passed a rugby ball across a circle, counting down from 10, whoever got the ball last lost a point.
We have been learning about volcanoes as part of our topic and as part of Art we have painted a background and painted a volcano which we will cut out and mount on the background. This is a process called layering.
In Year 2 we all love books. Children have been bringing in their favorites from home for us to share. ‘The Book with No Pictures’ was very, very funny !
