Well the highlight of the week has definitely been our Fire of London Workshop.
The children enjoyed a full day of 'hands on' learning delivered by Sue, a Forest School Practitioner. They took part in some drama, worked together to create their own 1666 London and finally watched it burn. We also had some time for a game at the end passing the fire buckets. It was such a great way to reinforce our learning so far.
In maths we have continued to work on our number bonds. We have recapped on bonds to 10 and 20 and also started to look at bonds to 100 (using multiples of 10).
In English we have been preparing for our diary entries as Samuel Pepys. We will continue with this piece of writing next week.
Thank you to everyone who attended Parent's Evening on Tuesday and Wednesday. It was a full turn out and lovely to talk to you all about how well your children have settled in to Year 2.
Have a wonderful weekend!

A lovely week in Cherry Tree Class!
In English we have been looking at dairies, including entries from Samuel Pepy's diary. We have been talking about the key features and highlighting them in example diaries. The children have also been using drama to act out the events written by Samuel Pepys and writing thought bubbles as him Next week we will continue with our work on diaries beginning to plan our own entry as Samuel Pepys.
In maths the children have been working on their bonds to 20 and fact families. This work on bonds to 10 and 20 will pave the way for our work on bonds to 100.
In our history work we have continued to look at how we know about the Great Fire of London. The children have been looking at paintings and drawings to find evidence about the events. Next week we have our Fire of London Workshops which will really bring this historical event to life for the children.
Tuesday and Wednesday we have our Parent Meetings. If you have not booked an appointment yet please do. I look forward to seeing you then to talk about how your child has settled back to school since September.
Happy weekend!

I can't believe that we are in October!
This week we have continued to use the story 'Katie in London' to inspire our writing. The children have been looking at clips and pictures of Buckingham Palace and thinking about what they would see, hear, feel and smell if they were there. They have use all those ideas to write a setting description of the Palace.
In maths we have been ordering numbers and objects. Next week we will be moving away from place value to begin our unit on addition and subtraction.
This week in our topic work we have been learning about evidence and how we know about the Great Fire of London. We have looked at snippets from the diaries of Samuel Pepys and John Evelyn. We have also been ordering the timeline of the fire and retelling the facts to a partner.
The children should all have brought home a note about boxes. These are for our Fire of London Workshop in a few weeks. Boxes can start being brought to school from Monday.
Have a wonderful weekend. Watch out for Storm Amy!
