We have really enjoyed making loombands in skills academy. We learnt to make the ‘fishtail’ style loombands using a special board. Here are some of the bracelets we made!

We have been continuing our work on Little Red Reading Hood and went on a woodland walk around the school. We explored different parts of the school to help us come up with adventurous vocabulary using our 5 senses. We then turned those ideas into phrases using alliteration! Some of the alliterative phrases we thought of were; ‘Ripe, red raspberries’,
We walked around school on Monday finding the best places to sit down and read a book. These were our favourites! Our work in English for the next few weeks is based upon a picture book called Little Red Reading Hood who adores reading books and does so wherever she can.
Year 2 were learning about the Gruffalo over the first couple of weeks of term, so we decided to make some Gruffalo toadstool pizzas in Design and Technology. They went down a treat!
Year 2 are creating graphic scores to compose simple pieces of music using untuned percussion instruments. They had to consider which instruments should be playing at a time and how to organise these on the score template. They are looking forward to performing them!
What an amazing end to the year with Gareth. 2C followed a rhythm of jumping, stamping and hitting swimming noodles to accompany Believer and A Little Bit of Love. They showed some excellent timing, coordination and strength!
The rock band took us through the decades from 1940s jazz to the present day. It’s clear that everyone learned something new and had plenty of fun too.
What an amazing performance by the rock band today! They gave us a musical tour through the decades from the 1940s right up to the present day. I’m pretty sure that the staff enjoyed it even more than the children!
