Autumn Term Homework
Autumn 1 Overview and Homework
Fire Service visit Y2!
Zoo 2 U
In Holly Class, we had a very exciting visit from Zoo 2 U. We learnt a lot of facts about a variety of animals such as a stick insect, blue tongue skink, hognose snake, tenrec and a laughing kookaburra. We even got to stroke some of these amazing creatures!
Science - Growth and needs
We were so excited to watch eight chicks hatch and are now learning how to look after them.
Geography walk
We enjoyed exploring our local area and observing all the different features on our geography walk.
English - Following instructions
In English, we had lots of fun following instructions to make bird feeders. We then wrote our own instructions.
Curriculum Overview
Inflatables Fun!
Coding with Lego
Today, we used Lego WeDo kits to create a bee which was pollinating a flower. We programmed the bee to fly around the flower and to stop when it was above the sensor.
KS1 Football Tournament
Today, we had a football tournament in Key Stage 1. It culminated with a final between the Year 2 red team and the Year 1 yellow team. It was a close final but the Year 2 red team were victorious when it reached a penalty shoot out!
Churches
Today in Holly Class, we learnt that a church is made up of people who attend. We used our bodies to create a church and then we drew our loved ones on pieces of paper and put them together to create a collage of a church.
Brockholes
We enjoyed a perfect trip to Brockholes exploring survival, including den-building and fire-lighting. We loved toasting marshmallows as a special treat at the end of the day! 🌲
Theatre trip-Around the World in 80 Days.
History-Houses and Homes

Some fun from our first half-term. I think the children would say that the best part has been taking care of our chicks! 🐥
