This week Year 2 have started designing bird feeders for work in Design and Technology. The students decided which materials to use and how the bird feeder is going to be supported. Later in the week the students will be following their designs and making their bird feeders using wood, doweling and other materials.
With the leaving concert set for next week both classes are busy practicing their songs and we're looking forward to welcoming you all to the show. A reminder that parents of children in Mrs. Prophet's class are welcome to Monday's concert and parents of children in Mr Harvey's class are welcome on Tuesday. Having said this if you do wish to come on another day please let the your child's teacher know and we will try to accommodate you.
Could we also use this opportunity to remind you that the deadline for letters and payment for the Year 2 Norwich Castle visit is next Monday the 22nd of June.

Week ending 5.6.15
This week the children of Year 2 has been learning all about Thailand in our termly International week. The students have been doing lots of interesting things this week in an effort to learn more about this fascinating country.
In Maths, we looked at capacity and created our own fruit juices designed to cool you off on a hot Thai beach!
The students then had the opportunity to cook a Thai curry, which smelt delicious but was apparently quite spicy! Students have also spent time looking at Buddhism and made a clay tile using images of Buddha and Thai temples.
In English, students will be looking at different forms of transport used in Thailand and creating a poster.
In Geography, the class has spent time looking at the oceans of the world and creatures within them.
