Homework
In Year 2 and 3 we set a homework quiz on Carousel every Tuesday, to be completed by the Monday of the following week. We also set weekly spellings on Spelling Shed and Times Tables on TT Rockstars.
2nd July 2021 - Homework Big 'well done' to everyone who completed their science homework this week. Some really excellent presentations, posters and leaflets! Brilliant effort! This week, I'd like you to find, make or create some little figures to represent you and your dragon, ready to start creating our Stop Motion Animations! You could use lego, playmobile or another type of mini action figure, small soft toys, or be really creative, and make your figures from plasticine, or even Fimo modelling clay! Happy dragon hunting!
25th June 2021 - Homework This week, I would like you all to research an animal of your choice and find out about the adaptations that make them suited to their environment! You can choose how you present your findings, you might want to make a powerpoint, an information leaflet or even a video! Good luck and remember to have fun! |

Stop Motion Dragons!
This term, in computing, we have been learning about stop motion animation. First, we found out what it is. Then, we used our class text and our ideas from English to help us create our characters. Finally, we used the Stop Motion App on the school IPads to film a sketch using our characters...

For the last three weeks, we have been devouring Andy Shepherd's 'The Boy Who Grew Dragons'. Inspired, we wondered whether we might be able to grow dragons from other strange and exotic fruits. First, we sampled some of the most unusual fruit we could find ... with varying degrees of enthusiasm! Then we researched the trees and vines that they grow on and created an imagined, unusual variety, said to be able to grow dragons. Finally, last week, we spent some time looking at http://www.dragonsofwales.com/ wonderful work and used his descriptions to help us write our own ... |

After the February half term, when everyone came back after the lockdown, we did some mindfulness work, linked to the wonderful book, The Barnabus Project by the Fan Brothers. The children made their own failed projects and thought a lot about friendship, compassion and what it means to work together. They really worked hard and in the end, I wasn't the only one who thought that their projects were brilliant ... one of the authors did too! |

| No Pens Day Wednesday |
We all had an absolutely brilliant day on No Pens Day Wednesday!
First, we followed instructions to make some fudge using condensed milk.
While some of us waited for our turn, we started to recycle card into some light catcher panels.
After lunch, we went on a mythical creature hunt around our wildlife area and then made some phenomenal clay sculptures to represent our creatures.
We finished our day by mindfully tasting our delicious fudge!
Here are some of the pictures from our brilliant day ...
