🥤 Our DT project was a hit! The children planned, chopped, blended and tasted their own fruit smoothies 🍓🍌🥭 — all while practising hygiene and teamwork. Healthy, fun, and delicious! 🌟

This week, during our history lessons about Amelia Earhart, Year 2 had a very special visitor! Mrs Gallagher joined us to share her incredible experience as an eyewitness to Amelia’s plane landing in Northern Ireland. The children were fascinated to hear her stories and learn more about this historic moment. A huge thank you to Mrs Gallagher for taking the time to come in and bring history to life for us!

We are having a fantastic day in year 2 Sycamore for children in need today. We have started our day with making Pudsey ear hats, don't they all look great!

On Tuesday, Year 2 Oak learnt about remembrance. We looked at why remembrance day happens and the why poppies are a sign of remembrance. To consolidate our learning we created our own poppy wreaths.

Year 2 Oak had a fantastic afternoon learning and celebrating Diwali. We looked at why Diwali is celebrated and then looked at how diya lamps are used to support the celebration. We then made our diya lamps in many different ways. To end our celebrations we got to taste a samosa, it was delicious! 🪔🎆

Please enjoy Year 2's harvest song!

Last week in History, we were learning about the Wright Brothers, who flew the first powered airplane. We then used freeze frames to imagine how we might have felt being part of that significant event. Take a look! ✈️
