The end of a fantastic year

This is quite possibly the last post for this blog, we have been fairly slack recently as we've been concentrating on other things but a fantastic time has been had all year.

There have been far too many highlights to mention and too many classic comments have been forgotten. Next year I feel I'm going to have to start writing down some of these comments to remember for years to come.

One other new idea was a year book, this one contains a few photos and comments about the children and the last year.

Thanks to everyone who has made this year so memorable. It's been legendary!

A class song has been written

I honestly can't believe Class RB have been able to write their own song, with music, in such a short space of time. Everyday the children constantly impress me with their ability to listen and then take on a challenge.

 

Even though we want the song as a surprise for our class assembly on Thursday, I think we may be able to give you a snippet of the chorus or bridge a little later today.

Another Great Week Ahead

We have another fun packed week ahead of us this week with lots of activities planned.

After our successful Year 2 Music Festival last week we'll be performing the songs infront of friends and family on Wednesday so there'll be another chance for people to experience our fantastic singing.

Last week we were getting to grips with a special sort of Literacy lesson called "Screen to Page". It involved watching sections of the film Mulan and then using all our senses to write about it. We found it really enjoyable and discovered that our writing improved as well. For that reason we've got another week where we'll be concentrating on sound and bringing everything in together to create a fantastic piece of writing.

Finally, we're all very excited because it's our class assembly on Thursday, we're focusing on our blog and especially all about how it's helped us with our learning.

Photo's and examples of work will follow.

Class Assembly Thursday 22nd March

Our class are doing our class assembly on Thursday 22nd March. We've been going through all the work completed over the last few months and selecting all the best bits to show the parents.

It promises to be a fantastic and packed 30 minutes with, we hope, some great surprises .

Feel free to leave a good luck comment here so we can show everyone how many people follow our blog.

A picture can literally tell a thousand words

These last few weeks our work in class has revolved around a picture painted nearly 400 years ago. It is called "Still Life With Drinking Horn" and after discovering it was painted in the 1600's Class RB wanted to find out more about that time.

We used a website called Popplet to share with each other what we already knew and then what we would want to learn. We all worked on this in the ICT room and were amazed that we could all work on the same piece of work at the same time and see each others thoughts straight away.

After rearranging the questions the children then went home and found the answers through different ways. Google appeared to be the most popular method of finding out information though.
