The children wrote ingredients, read instructions, chopped the vegetables and made their own soup! They thought it was really tasty!

We have been exploring a number a week in maths. By doing this, the children develop a deep understanding of number, make links and notice patterns. We have found that a number can be reperesented in many different ways- shape, money, time, different objects and numerals.

The children explored mixing to create new colours and light and dark colours using paint and pastels.

The children have had so much fun in the forest. They have learnt to respect the fire in the fire circle, use the tyre swing, balance, identify signs of Autumn and even enjoyed s'mores!
Woodland Learning - tree swing

We had a super time exploring the woodland area today and playing on the tree swing.
Woodland Learning - making s'mores
Date: 20th Oct 2020 @ 9:45pm
This week we had a delicious time in our woodland learning session. Mrs Hancox had kindly bought marshmallows and chocolate biscuits and we made s'mores. We all got to toast our marshmallows ourselves over the campfire. The s'mores were delightful; very sweet and a bit sickly. Mrs Simmons was very sad that she didn't get to have one.
After we had eaten, we played on the tree swing and enjoyed ourselves in the woodland area.
Have a look at our photos of us toasting our marshmallows.
History: Henry VIII and his 6 wives
Date: 20th Oct 2020 @ 9:17pm
As we know King Henry VIII had many wives, but today we debated whether or not he should divorce his first wife, Catherine of Aragon for, Anne Boleyn. We listed the positives and negatives of him doing this and created a conscience alley with our very own Henry VIII. The overall verdict was that Henry VIII was going to stay with Catherine.

We were so lucky that in our woodland learning session we got to make and eat smores! You can see from the pictures that we really enjoyed ourselves. We always remember how to behave and act around the fire to ensure we stay safe.
Eyewitnesses of the Great Fire of London.

We interviewed eyewitnesses of the Great Fire of London.

We have been working really hard in our English lessons. Using the book 'The Journey' we have created our very own diary entries based on 6 different scenes from the book. We also have examples of diaries from the guards, children, the mum and even the house! Writing as authors can be a long process but we have persevered through and even edited and redrafted our work (this is really important as a writer). I wonder if you can spot the features of a diary in the examples below?
Maths No Problem: Subtraction with renaming

Now we have mastered adding with renaming, it is time to tackle subtraction with renaming. Here are some photographs of our journals which help to explain the method.
Maths No Problem: Addition with renaming
Date: 18th Oct 2020 @ 12:22pm
Adding 4 digit numbers when we have to rename can be really tricky, but that has been no problem for 4MB. We have been using place value disk to help us explain the method (we also have some tutorials on our page - go check them out). I wonder if you can tell us what we would rename 13 as?

NO OUTSIDERS
'You have been formally invited to the wedding of King and King at the Royal Palace'
4MB have created their very own wedding invitation to the royal wedding of the two kings (look at our fabulous designs). We looked at the book 'King and King' exploring gay relationships in relation to The Equality Act 2010.
Date: 18th Oct 2020 @ 12:04pm
Not only have 4MB been focusing on gymnastics, but we have also been learning how to play basketball. We have been looking at tactic to get free from a defender so we can get the ball to the goal. We can use a sprint dodge, feint dodge and a double dodge. We have had lots of fun trying to trick our opponents. We even got to play a full game against each other.

4MB have been looking at the Tudors and what fun we have had! Before looking at all the terrible things the King and Queens did we had to work out which King and Queens we were talking about. We created our very own Tudor timeline, looking at how long each monarch was on the throne. Who would have thought that Lady Jane Grey was only Queen for 9 days before she was executed!

4MB thoroughly enjoy their time spent in the forest. This experience allows them to explore the outdoor environment, whilst helping to develop practical skills.

This week we have been learning all about the Hindu festival of Diwali. We learnt that it is known as the 'festival of light' because it is a celebration of when Rama defeated the evil Ravana and rescued his wife Sita. when good (light) won over evil (dark). We learnt all about the story of Rama and Sita (Ramayana) and then wrote about it. We also designed our own symmetrical rangoli patterns.
Geography - How and why is my local area changing?
Date: 5th Oct 2020 @ 9:55pm
Getting to know our local area!
Date: 4th Oct 2020 @ 6:56pm
This week in Woodland Learning we talked about birds and how they survive during the winter time when the ground is frozen. We looked for pine cones and then we made our own bird feeders that will be tied up around our woodland area for all the birds.

This week, as well as looking at non-chronological reports, we have also done some spelling grammar work on alphabetical order and comparative and superlative adjectives.
We arranged ourselves into alpahbetical order as a whole class based on our first names, it took us a while to work out the order for all the names beginning with 'M' as there are so many in 2S. We then did some vocabulary work using a dictionary to look up the meanings of some of the words in the non-chronological report on Toucans that we are studying.
Using comparative and superlative adjectives, we arranged ourselves in groups according to the adjectives (eg. tall, taller, tallest), then we wrote sentences about animals using some of these adjectives.

This week in PSHE we talked our relationships with others, particularly our classmates. We discussed the qualities that make a good classmate and a good friend.
We then created our own 2S relationship web. Mrs Simmons gave the ball of wool to our Golden Tie winner Daisy and asked her to think about who she wanted to pass the wool on to and why. We loved creating our special web and it was lovely hearing about the qualities we have too.
Have a look at our photos from the lesson.
