We were very proud of our maps of the playground using natural resources found lying around the park.

Our first activity was to locate various features around the park.  Each time we found one we had to then work out where exactly this place was on the map.  It was great fun and even the damp weather didn’t put us off.

Sadly it was all over and we had to leave the park.  We were a bit soggy but great fun was had by all!

In Science we have been learning a lot about plants and what they need in order to grow well.  A few weeks ago we all planted a seed or a bulb so we could compare which grew the best.  We discovered that the seeds tended to germinate the fastest but then the bulbs caught up and ended up…

We all took part in our annual sports morning. The children were fantastic and competed brilliantly. We also saw some pre-schoolers racing and my all time favourite… the Mums/Dads and Grandparents race! 
Well done to Castle Reds who won

Today we learnt a very technical term in Science - germination.  Here are our beans in bags with very wet paper towels.  Fingers crossed they will germinate successfully so we can see how roots and shoots appear in real life.

In P.E. we have been practising our rolling skills at Palatine Bowling Green.  Coach Dan showed us the correct technique to use and also explained how the bowls have a weighted side to make the bowls turn.  It was trickier than it looked to land on the target but we had a great time…

Just look at the fabulous artwork that we have created inspired by the Great Fire of London.  We worked hard over several weeks to slowly build up these dioramas.

Today we enjoyed competing in our team colours to win the Intra Sport's trophy.

Year two had fun in science today - squashing, bending, twisting and stretching different materials.

Year 2 visited St Paul’s Church. Rev Rebecca showed us around and told us about the different things within the church.
