Planet Earth? This is Mrs R.

The Year Twos are having an absolute blast (pun intended) learning about space. So far, we have found out about the solar system and astronauts. The children have helped to build space station role play areas in each classroom and enjoyed lots of space themed learning activities.


Did you know that you can grow plants in space?

This is a sunflower seedling growing on the International Space Station. 

In English we have been learning about instructions and thinking about the features of this particular type of non-fiction text. We have used plants in space as our theme for writing our own.


In Maths we have been learning about telling the time,and repeating patterns. They have also been using positional and directional language. The children have used the Bee-Bots to develop these skills. (Bee-Bots are programmable robots!)


We have new Reading for Pleasure boards in our classrooms. On Wednesdays we would like the children to bring in a book from home to enjoy. Please remember to name them in case we end up with 30 copies of The Gruffalo!
