Creative Reading Homeworks
Year 2 are a class of book lovers. Here are some of our favourite reading homeworks from last week’s review.
Class assembly 12 October
We are enjoying our new big topic based on the Katie and… stories, with lots of English, Maths, Science, History and of course Art learning so far.
Ask your child to tell you about the Katie books we have read so far.
- Which is their favourite? Why?
- Who were the characters?
- What were the main events?
- What changes would they have made to the story?
We look forward to sharing the children’s learning at our class assembly this Wednesday. It’s at 2:40pm and we hope to see you then.
New triathlon satellite club
This new club has recently started on Mondays from 4pm-5.45pm at Middleton Park bike hub and is suitable for all abilities.
Bikes are available if needed and the fun sessions will focus on improving running and cycling.
We love to read!
Whether it’s a novel, comic, newspaper, dictionary, thesaurus or an information book, Year 4 love to read.
Reading for pleasure and enjoyment is so very important and these photos show us doing just that.
More gymnastics
Today, the children continued with their gymnastics. We have been learning various types of balances and rolls.
I set them a task today to create a short sequence of movements with a partner. They had to think about previous learning and try to incorporate a hoop into their routines. There were some great ideas, super team work and even some demonstrations.
Looking at our homework
Written by Natalia, Y6:
This week’s homework was to write ten sentences about our trip to Eden Camp. We all looked at each others’ and marked them. I swapped with Mia, Ava and Sarah. When we were marking them, we chose our three favourite sentences – they were amazing. We always write a star and a step which helps tell us what we are doing well and what we are doing not so well.
This is my favourite one that Mia wrote: “Quickly, scared but exited, we rushed through the Blitz a number of times.”
Assembly
Thank you to everyone who came to watch the assembly today. The children have worked very hard to learn all their parts and lines. Mr Owen and I were very proud of all the chlidren.

Who knew we were all potters at heart?
At the beginning of our Class Novel topic, we discussed what learning we’d like to do across the eight weeks. Design and Technology was a clear favourite so this week we’re designing, making and evaluating our own toy planes.
We started our project by exploring images of WWII planes and from this designed our own models, thinking about how we could make it work if modelling it with clay.
Tuesday afternoon saw us donning aprons and testing our pottery skills. It was a fab afternoon with a lovely atmosphere, focused minds and smiling faces.
Jorja really focused on the detail. Here’s her plane. Look at the cockpit and the propellors.
And now we wait… Once they’re dry, we’ll looking again at our designs and think about how we want to finish the overall design.
Eden Camp
What a great day we had at Eden Camp. Here are a few photos for you to enjoy of our day. I’m not going to tell you too much though because the children are going to be writing a recount of their day on Friday this week so we’ll publish a couple of those to give you a better idea of what we got up to.
Stay tuned for our full recounts – coming soon!
