Mexico party!
We had lots of fun today at our Mexico party. Here are some photos of us wearing our Atzec masks, eating the delicious food we made, dancing to Mexican music and hitting the piñata as hard as we could!
St Aidan's Year 2 blog
Come and see what we are doing in Yellow Class
Fun with fractions!
We found out more about halves and quarters using cubes, plasticine and fruit!
Sport Relief
Today all the children in Yellow Class completed their Sport Relief activities with great enthusiasm. Thank you for the sponsor money you have collected to help people all over the world who are living in poverty.
Tasting Cheese!
As part of our connector 'Flavour' we tasted different French cheeses. We thought some of them were very tasy but some were a bit smelly! Which cheese is your favourite?
Our top three books
In Yellow Class we voted for our favourite three books. The winners were...
- Captain Underpants by Dav Pilkey
- The Chronicles of Narnia by C. S. Lewis
- The Magic Faraway Tree by Enid Blyton
Have a look at the bookworm on the bridge link to find out the other class's favourite books.
Book Week!
We had a fantastic time last week celebrating Book Week. Here we all are in our Peter Pan costumes!
Weighing parcels
In Maths we had to weigh different parcels to find out how heavy they were. We had to read the scales carefully and work together. We recorded our results. The lightest parcel was 150g and the heaviest parcel was over 2000g (2kg)! What do you think could be inside the parcels? |
Spring Term Connector
Our new connector this half term is Letters! We read the story Flat Stanley and enjoyed the part where Stanley got sent in the post to California. We have swapped letters and flat versions of ourselves with a school in Cornwall. We are looking forward to writing about what we get up to!
Samuel Pepys diary entries
After reading and listening to extracts from Samuel Pepys' diary, we wrote our own diary entries about the Great Fire of London. We made sure to include facts and feelings and we tried to use all our senses when writing descriptions. We wrote our diaries on coffee-stained paper to make them look old! Here are some pictures of our work on display.
Making Fire of London cakes
Our connector this half term is Fire.
We had fun making small cakes. These cakes were eaten in 1666 and might have been what Thomas Farriner was baking when he forgot to put out his oven and started the Great Fire of London!
We had to weigh the ingredients carefully using the scales and then mix everything together in the bowl. After that we cooked them in the oven and finally ate them. They tasted delicious!
