Week commencing 06.09.2021

We are so proud of how well all of the children are adapting to the new routines of Year 2.  They have been spotted by other adults around the school (including Mrs Murrell and Mrs Davenport) who have noticed how quiet and sensible they have been lining up and in assembly.  In fact they were so quiet earlier in the week that Mrs Cawcutt was worried the children had all gone missing! 

We started the week with a Hook Day in order to begin to answer our topic question: ‘What makes the world amazing?’  We began by exploring our outdoor environment using all of our senses and the children were given a passport and boarding pass and used these to board our (imaginary) aeroplane. 

Our first stop was Europe where we landed in Finland to see the Northern Lights.  The children learnt blending skills and used oil and soft pastels to create artwork.   Next we landed in Africa where the children learnt an African style dance.  They picked up the routine incredibly quickly and many of the children showed amazing rhythm to the music.  We know some of the children have already shown you the routine at home!  For our final stop, we landed in India, Asia.  We learnt about mehndi art and created our own mehndi inspired patterns.
