Fun Maths Investigation Morning!

Today we had our termly fun maths morning where we swap classes and all have a go at some fun practical and hands on maths investigations. This time year 2 and year 3 mixed together and there were lots of fun activities happening. We had board games to make, dice to make, suduko puzzles, shape puzzles, tangrams as well as a problem to solve on the whiteboard and Ipad!

All the children worked so well together and it was lovely seeing everybody helping each other and working as a team.

Here we are enjoying our maths!

Classopoly Attendance Treat - Go To Jail!!!!

Last week our class attendance was above 97% so we rolled on the Classopoly board and we landed on 'Go to jail'... So today off we went for our jail treat with Miss Stephens!! Even though we were in jail we had lots of fun and there were lots of laughs!! 

                                     

                                     


The Clocktower - Arenyth

This week in literacy we are watching this piece of visual literacy and basing our learning around it.

We are thinking about how the girl became a character who has to keep the cogs turning, has she done something wrong? Has she been captured?

We have been describing the village thinking about what the houses are made of, who or what might live in them, what kind of things do they do for fun in a village like this?

We have also been comparing the bright light scene in the story to the grey scene and talking about the differences in how it makes us feel.
 
You can watch the story below! Let us know what you think!

World Book Day... Roger Hargreaves


This year for World Book Day year 2 had the famous author Roger Hargreaves as their theme... We came to school making so much effort with fantastic costumes! Can you tell which character we all were?
                                     
We enjoyed some quiet reading time, reading of course many of the famous Mr Men and Little Miss books...
                                     
                                      
We then looked closely at the story of 'Mr Nodody'. We talked about why he might have felt like a MR Nobody and times when we may have felt this way. We also talked about how we could make him feel like a somebody again and linked our work into our PHSE. To finish we discussed what colour we would like to become if we were a Mr Nobody and why we would want to be that colour... Here are some ideas we came up within the carpet on our whiteboards....
