Diary Writing – Year 1 and 2

The King’s Pants and The Great Fire of London

We have focused on ‘The King’s Pants’ and ‘The Baker’s Boy and the Great Fire of London’ texts the past couple of weeks.

When Will Farriner wakes to the sound of crackling flames and the smell of smoke, he knows something is terribly wrong! As his family escape the flames engulfing their bakery, Will realises he must stop the fire spreading. But what can be done before all of London goes up in smoke?

The children have been developing their understanding of the principles of defending and attacking for target games. They have been using both underarm and overarm throwing techniques with the challenge of extending the distance and aiming for a specific target.

British Science Week – KS1

First we joined the family on a farm walk to help look after all their animals and learn about all the ways they fight climate change on the farm. Then we took some of the produce from their vegetable garden to join Tom the food-waste fighting chef in his kitchen to whip up a delicious, seasonal, zero-waste delight!

Throughout the lesson we earned the following badges:

Biodiversity buddy: learning about all the ways our Change Champion family encourage biodiversity on their farm and learning some practical ways we can join in with this change at home and school.

Energy Expert: learning about all the ways our Change Champion family create their own sustainable energy and learning some practical ways we can join in with this change at home and school.

Waste Warrior: learning about all the ways our Change Champion family recycle the waste on their farm, joining Tom the food waste fighting chef to learn how about zero waste cooking and learning some practical ways we can reduce waste at home and school.

2B Forest School

This week at Forest School year 1/2B got hands-on with woodwork!

Using a bow saw and drill, the children cut their own pieces of wood to create some incredible projects.

From fairy chairs and log dogs to wooden spinners and necklaces, their creativity knew no bounds!

It was amazing to see their imaginations come to life while developing new skills and growing in confidence.

Forest School is all about exploring, learning, and having fun outdoors – and they did just that!

The Great Fire of London

History

‘The Great Fire of London!’ – Our new topic for this half term

The children in Year 1 and 2 have started to explore timber houses and structures that were in London in 1666. As the weeks go on, the children will learn more about the catastrophic event that erupted on the 2nd of September 1666, in a small bakery on Pudding Lane, situated near London Bridge. They will explore the suitability of materials and their resistance to fire and make a product that has a door hinge incorporated within it. They will evaluate the suitability of these and we hope to invite the fire service in to demonstrate and discuss the risk of, and the speed that fire can spread across buildings!

World Book Day 2025

 

 

To mark World Book Day on Thursday, March 6th this year, we aim to celebrate reading, which is always at the forefront of our curriculum, with an exciting range of events designed to inspire our students to read for pleasure. Our goal is to spark a genuine love for reading by encouraging every child to discover new titles and explore different genres.

Throughout the day, each class will engage in various reading-related activities, offering plenty of opportunities for students to enjoy stories in fresh and fun ways.

As always, there is no expectation to spend money! We will be hosting a Book Swap Station where children can bring in one book they no longer need and exchange it for one they have never read before. To take part, all we ask is that the book your child brings is in good condition and free from any markings or writing. This is a fantastic chance for students to refresh their bookshelf and enjoy a new adventure in reading!

For more details, be sure to check out our website and Facebook posts for updates on our World Book Day events. Thank you for your continued support as we celebrate the magic of reading together.
