    Science - Suitability of materials

    Posted by Mr N Kavanagh
    We discussed why objects are made out of particular materials, for example why are window panes made out of glass? We then went to look at the rulers and spoons to see if objects could be made out of several different materials. They then had to explain which properties make some materials suitable or unsuitable for different purposes

    Computing - What is IT?

    Posted by Mr N Kavanagh
    Year 2 developed their understanding of what information technology (IT) is. They identified devices that are computers and considered how IT can help them both at school and beyond. We then looked at similarities and differences between the devices we use at home and at school.

    Geography - Towns and cities

    Roald Dahl Day

    Posted by Mr N Kavanagh
    A former RAF fighter pilot, intelligence officer, and diplomat, Roald Dahl is best known as one of the world’s best-loved storytellers. In books like “Matilda”, “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”, and “James and the Giant Peach”, Dahl brought readers into his wildly original imagination with richly detailed worlds, zany characters, and touching storylines. We had lots of crocodiles, witches, Wonka bars and Matildas in school today.

    Class Text

    Posted by Mr N Kavanagh
    Izzy and her friends are SO EXCITED about their school trip. They're going camping and there'll be marshmallows and no washing and everything. But then WEIRD things start happening! There are howling sounds at night, and some sausages have gone missing, and it's nearly a full moon...But it's when they see their new teacher's hairy legs that they KNOW! There's a werewolf on the school trip and they're all DOOMED!
