Term 2
Remember, Remember the 5th of November!
At the start of the term we built a Guy for our learning lift off.
We went around to other classes and collected Penny for the Guy to buy ourselves a sweet treat… we got marshmallows!
We then went onto the field to have our bonfire. The Guys were placed on the bonfire carefully and we sang the rhyme:
Remember, remember the 5th of November
Gunpowder, treason and plot
I see no reason
Why gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot.
Seasons
What are the seasons and how do they change? Over the year there are many changes. How and why does this impact on our daily lives at home and in school? Lots of exciting events are celebrated throughout the year. Why do they happen at that time? Using this knowledge we can make observations and draw conclusions to inform our decisions.
Learning Lift Off
We have had a fantastic first couple of weeks in term two! Our learning lift off started our topic of seasons and we had lots of fun making a guy for the bonfire. We also learnt about the story of the Gunpowder Plot and used our drama skills to act out the key parts of the plot.
English
We have also been learning about fireworks and using incredible adjectives to describe fireworks in English.
We have been learning the days of the week and playing days of the week snap, and we have been discussing and story mapping how Autumn turns to Winter.
Maths
In maths we have been adding and taking away, we have used dinosaurs and bears in our taking away which has been really fun.
