Science week – Year 2
This morning a scientist came to visit the Year 2 children. She demonstrated some experiments, including making a ‘volcano’, chatted about which materials are better for the environment, and told them about a few extraordinary inventions made by children. One of these was about a six year old boy from Hampshire, who collected more than 2,500 confectionery tubs from landfill to make outdoor furniture including benches.
World Book Day – Mole Class’ Chocolate Bars
What a day of using our pure imaginationnnnn…! After our dance workshop, we continued with our Charlie and the Chocolate Factory theme and the children designed their own chocolate bar. This afternoon, the Moles loved bringing their ideas to life with all sorts of craft materials. Their final products ended up looking good enough to eat! To finish a fun-packed day, the children had a go at advertising their chocolate bar… There were just too many delicious ones to choose from! (Miss Heafford)

Mole Class – Mandir
In our RE learning, Mole class have been learning about special places. We have been focussing on Hinduism and learning all about a special place, called a Mandir. We had an amazing time learning about the main features of a Mandir and creating them around our classroom. I wonder if you can tell your grown ups about the different features of a Mandir. (Miss Heafford)
Mole Class – English Lesson
In our English lesson today, Mole class transformed into the role of Sonny the meerkat. He is the main character in the book ‘Meerkat Mail’, that we have been looking at in our English lessons (following our visit from his cousins Crackle and Pop last week!). They worked in partners to create a news report about Sonny’s trip to Fleet. Wow! What an amazing time Sonny had on his travels and what incredible news reporters we have in the class too!
