This week, it has been lovely to see that Class 2 have come back to school full of energy and enthusiasm after a well-deserved rest and enjoyable Christmas holiday!
We have started many new topics including multiplication and division in Maths, writing a non-chronological report in writing, The Great Fire of London in History and Formal Elements of Art.
We started our Great Fire of London work with a lesson about what happened and how the fire spread, we ordered the events that happened on 2nd September 1666 and then looked at Samuel Pepys' diary entries to answer a variety of questions on the events that occurred.
In Art we completed a lesson on Repeating Pattern in which we used a variety of objects and bright paints on black card to create a captivating artwork.
Well done Class 2 on making a wonderful start to Spring 1 Term!
