World Book Day: Thursday 2nd March

What a fantastic day we all had!  Our work was focusing on "The Invisible" by Tom Percival.  Yet again, it demonstrated how kind, loving and empathetic our children are.  We had a fabulous time in the library and really enjoyed reading stories with Y2B.  This will now become a monthly event.  Eshaal won our costume competition but the other children made it so hard to pick one winner!!!

Our Blood Experiment

We made blood today starting with the plasma.  We then added red blood cells followed by white blood cells.  We discussed what would happen if an 'invader' came into our blood.  The white blood cells were able to attack it and then reproduce themselves to make us better.

SUMMER 2:

Our theme this half term is '...And the band played on'.

“...And The Band Played On” is a thematic unit, based on the story of the Titanic, with a key focus on history.
It begins by locating the point at which the Titanic sank using Google Earth and working back from there,
learning about the ship’s communication systems, the timeline leading up to the tragedy and, finally,
deciding upon who should be held responsible for the demise of the unsinkable ship.

ART DAY

Last week we had a fabulous day looking at mark making.  From this we produced a sketchbook of work, which we put into an art gallery for the whole school to enjoy.  Here are some pictures of us at work.
