Year 2

Today class 6 had a NSPCC workshop about speaking out and staying safe. 

They met buddy, discussed who they could talk to if they felt sad and how they could contact childline if they ever needed. 

Class 6 really enjoyed having a visitor from the past. Sir William Petty came from 1666 to tell the children all about The Great Fire of London.

They couldn’t believe how he spoke and what he wore, let alone what he told them about the fire. They took part in experiments, learnt how the fire…

Children selected their favourite image and explained why they had chosen…

Class 5 really enjoyed their music lesson this week where they have been learning the song 'Rainbows'. 

The children looked at the different sections of the song such as verse and chorus and how the chorus usually repeats throughout the song.
